Those records make no reference to Ilitch Holdings, Inc., MotorCity Casino nor any of her other business affiliations past or present (Little Caesars Pizza, Detroit Red Wings, Olympia Entertainment, Olympia Development, Detroit Tigers, etc.).
In March 2007 the National Association of Women Business Owners Greater Detroit Chapter honored Marian Ilitch as one of the Top 10 Michigan Business Women with the Pinnacle Award.
At IlitchHoldings.com, the corporate website for Ilitch Holdings, Inc., Marian Ilitch is described as “Vice Chairwoman.”
The website reads:
“Marian Ilitch is one of the leading entrepreneurs in the food and entertainment industry. As a first-generation American, the daughter of Macedonian immigrants raised on grit and hard work, Marian has been recognized as one of the most successful businesswomen in the country.”
“Marian purchased the MotorCity Casino in Detroit in April 2005. MotorCity Casino opened in December 1999 and the purchase by Marian keeps the casino ownership within the Detroit Community and makes Motor City Casino the largest and most successful casino in the country that is owned by a woman.”
Nothing on the corporate website describes her as a “homemaker” ... far from it.
This kind of deliberate dishonesty in campaign contribution disclosures is a clear sign there is something greater afoot.
