When did
Lance Boldrey, a Michigan attorney with the firm
Dykema 
Gossett and one-time counselor for Indian affairs matters in the administration of former Governor
John Engler receive the conflict-of-interest waiver noted in today's
Port Huron Times Herald article, "
Casino fight turns fierce, ugly?"
...lawyer Lance Boldrey drafted the original Bay Mills land-settlement agreement as a legal adviser to Gov. John Engler. After Engler left office, Boldrey took a job with Dykema-Gossett, a prominent Detroit law firm.
In his new role, Boldrey is advising casino developer Mike Malik, who's positioned to make tens of millions of dollars in management fees if Bay Mills opens a Port Huron casino.
Under the Michigan Bar's code of ethics, Boldrey would be allowed to advise Malik only if he first obtained a waiver from Engler's successor, Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
Liz Boyd, the governor's press secretary, confirmed that Boldrey indeed has obtained such a waiver.
