Those who argued in the U.S. House of Representative in favor of H.R. 2176 received more than $150,000 from those backing a casino in Port Huron, Michigan.
On 6.25.08, the House of Representatives debated the merits and voted on H.R. 2176, a bill that would have settled so-called land claims made by two Michigan tribes.
If passed, the bill would have paved the way for the Bay Mills Indian Community to build a casino away from its reservation in Port Huron, Michigan. Casino interests who are pushing that plan include Michael J. Malik, Sr. and members of Detroit's well-known Ilitch Family. Malik and the Ilitch family have partnered on various casino projects in Michigan and across the U.S.
