Rep. Don Young's Top 10 donor list includes prominent Great Lakes area families bankrolling 'off-reservation' casino projects

CONFIRMED by OpenSecrets.org: Two prominent Great Lakes area families bankrolling high-profile "off-reservation" casino plans in CA, MI, NY and WI are among Rep. Don Young's "Top 10" donors (likely even "Top 5" donors); as reported by Opensecrets.org for the Center for Responsive Politics. Both families and several of their closest associates contributed to Young on the same day, 5.23.05; making that Young's highest grossing fundraising day in of the two year election cycle.

The family of Dennis Troha through its JHT Holdings (Kenosha, WI) is ranked by Opensecrets.org as #3 among Young's donors overall . Troha's fortune was built in the trucking industry. Troha was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in March (2007) on charges of money laundering/campaign finance fraud and lying to the the FBI. It's alledged that he directed family members to contribute $100,000 to Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and then in effect reimbursed them for the costs of the donations. Governor Doyle has approval authority critical to Troha's proposed casino venture.

The family of Mike Ilitch and Marian Ilitch through Ilitch Holdings, Inc. (Detroit, MI) ranks #6 on Young's list of overall contributors during the last election cycle. Mike & Marian Iitch co-founded Little Caesars Pizza almost 50 years ago. Their holdings include the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings and Detroit's MotorCity Casino and the management and licensing of several major sports arena/stadiums, theaters and concert halls in Detroit plus other related subsidiaries. If the Ilitch Holdings calculations were to include Michael J. Malik's contributions; Ilitch Holdings, Inc. rank would move up two places to #4 among all contributors to Don Young during the two year campaign cycle. Young had previously co-authored a bill intended to approve by Act of Congress one of the casino proposals they have backed.

The Ilitch Family organization ranked among the "Top 10" donors to another former chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, Rep. Richard Pombo. For the 2004/2006 campaign cycles, Mike and Marian Ilitch ranked #9 on Pombo's RICH PAC individual contributors list and Michael J. Malik, Sr., Ilitch family gambling associate, ranked #5. The Ilitches and Malik ranked ahead of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff who was #10 on Pombo's "Top 10" list. As they've done for Young, the Ilitch Family organizations have handled travel and private airplane arrangements for Pombo too.

Both families contributions to Young rank ahead of some of America's most established and influential special interest groups inlcuding Lockheed Martin, FedEx, National Association of Home Builders, and National Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association.

Both families practice "bundling" campaign contributions -- that is, the practice of gathering checks in large or maximum amounts from various family members and associates (often one for the primary election cycle and at the same time a duplicate for the general election cycle), literally bundling them together and then handing them over at one time for greater impact. In effect it's one way of beating the campaign contribution limit laws that are in place. At this point only Troha is charged with criminal activity.

The ties that bind Rep. Candice Miller to Mike & Marian Ilitch and their associated casino syndicator Michael Malik

In May, Rep, Candice Miller (R-MI 10th) joined with Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI 1st) to co-author Stupak’s bill, H.R. 2176, to provide for and approve the settlement of certain land claims of the Bay Mills Indian Community. Michael Malik and members of Detroit’s Ilitch Family (Little Caesars Pizza, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings, MotorCity Casino, Fox Theater, etc.) have been backing various plans for a Bay Mills off-reservation casino for more than 15 years.

On June 28th & 30th, members of Detroit’s Ilitch Family and their associate Michael Malik contributed another $13,800 to the political committee of Rep. Candice Miller. Through Miller’s 2006 re-election campaign they had personally contributed more than $75,000 to Miller’s political committees and helped raised thousands more from their friends, business colleagues, vendors and suppliers.

That brings the total of their personal contributions for Rep. Miller to more than $88,000.00 since 2003 -- when Miller introduced her first bill in Congress to approve their Port Huron Casino scheme.

The Ilitches and Malik became major benefactors of Rep. Miller only after she introduced the bill to push their Casino scheme; they’d not backed her longtime political career previously.

On August 27th when their Detroit Tigers play the New York Yankees, the Ilitches and Malik will host a fundraiser for former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign. Rep. Miller is the Chairman of Giuliani’s Michigan presidential campaign. Marian Ilitch and Malik have been bankrolling plans by a New York tribe to build casino on Long Island in the posh Hamptons resort area – plans that face tough opposition and cans use additional influential friends in New York. And recently the Shinnecock tribe has tried to get New York Governor Elliot Spitzer to cut them into lucrative video gaming operations under consideration for some of the state’s racetracks.

Neither the Ilitches nor Malik live nor have their primary offices in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District; but the Port Huron casino and Malik’s proposed $170 million, 380-acre Harsens Island housing development and man-made lagoon are in Rep. Miller’s 10th District.

Early in the 2006 election cycle, President Bush asked Rep. Miller to consider running against Michigan’s Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow who was considered by most people to be extremely vulnerable. The Ilitches, Malik and their spokesman/political operative Tom Shields certainly must have influenced Miller’s decision to reject the President’s suggestion:

• The Ilitches and Malik contributed more than $115,000 to Sen. Stabenow’s re-election efforts;
• The Ilitches and Malik contributed more than $75,000 to Rep. Miller’s committees;
• The Ilitches and Malik raised thousands more for both Sen. Stabenow and Rep. Miller;
• Tom Shields was loaned out for the first time to serve as a senior strategist/campaign consultant to Rep. Miller’s re-election campaign.

There can be no question why Michael Malik found Rep. Don Young to be such an attractive political figure

There should be no question why Michigan's Michael Malik was attracted to Alaska Rep. Don Young given Malik’s interests in expanding Indian gaming, real estate development, marine activity and national security ventures; particularly those ventures surrounding the Great Lakes region.

Given Rep. Don Young’s leadership clout and in particular his committee assignments the last ten years is it any wonder Detroit casino syndicator and deal broker Michael J. Malik, Sr. befriended Young?

During 106th Congress (1999-2000) Young was chairman of the House Resources Committee (oversight of Indian gaming and Native American affairs matters). Malik had been pushing for an off-reservation Indian casino for the Bay Mills Indian Community since the early 1990s and had made several attempts at marina development.

During the 107th Congress (2001-02), Young became chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee; he stepped aside as chair (Rep. Richard Pombo became chairman) to become vice chairman of the House Resources Committee.

During the 108th Congress (2003-04) Young continued as chair of the House Transportation Committee; and vice-chairman of the House Resources Committee and was a member of the Fisheries Conservation, Wildlife and Oceans subcommittee. He was appointed to the Select Committee on Homeland Security and its Infrastructure and Border Security subcommittee. It was during the 108th Congress that Malik and the Ilitch Family dramatically stepped up their political contributions and paid lobbying efforts.


Freshman Candice Miller introduced HR 831 in 2003 with Young as co-sponsor; and in 2004 Young had language inserted into the Transportation Spending Bill in an attampt to expedite aprovals of a Bay Mills Port Huron casino.

During the 109th Congress (2005-06) Young continued to chair the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee; and Young stepped down as vice-chair of the House Resources Committee but continued as a general member. Rep. Young also continued to serve on the Homeland Security Committee and its Economic Security, Infrastructure Protection and Cybersecurity Subcommittee.

Again an attempt was made in 2006 to insert language to approve the Port Huron casino into a Transportation Bill; attempts were also made to slip through a bill to require the Interior Secretary to immediately take up consideration of the Shinnecock Indian Nation’s Federal recognition matter; Malik’s biography notes he’s involved in a homeland security project and that he put together and moderated an educational panel on Homeland Security at a Conference in Ireland for Members of Congress and officers from foreign embassies.

With the shift of congressional control moving to the Democrats, currently in the 110th Congress (2007-08) Young is no longer chair but continues as a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee; and with Pombo’s departure from Congress, Young is now the ranking member on the House Natural Resources Committee. Young lost his seat on the House Homeland Security Committee.

Vice Chairwoman of a private company Forbes ranks at #316 reports she's a "homemaker" on political disclosures

Half of the 32 records on file with the Federal Election Commission backing up political campaign contributions made by Marian Ilitch since 2002 indicate she is simply a “Homemaker.”

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.

Former Miss California lands job as lobbyist for D.C. health care association

We've been informed that MaryAnne Sapio, previously a lobbyist for Wheat Government Relations, has joined the American Health Care Association (AHCA) as Director of Government Relations and primary AHCA lobbyist in Washington, D.C..

AHCA, according to its website, is a non-profit federation of affiliated state health organizations, together representing more than 10,000 non-profit and for-profit assisted living, nursing facility, developmentally-disabled, and subacute care providers.

TVT had previously reported that Sapio, a former Miss California 1999, had left Wheat Government Relations (WheatGR) where she had been a lobbyist for the Bay Mills Indian Community, Blue Water Resorts, Gateway Casino Resorts, Barwest, and the Shinnecock Indian Nation, (each of these clients are casino venture affiliates of Michael J. Malik and Marian Ilitch). When TVT orignially reported on Sapio's departure, the circumstances and her new employer were unknown.

It is interesting to note that Sapio, while at Wheat, was registered as a lobbyist for other clients including lobbying firms U.S. Strategies and Kessler & Associates (Century Business Services Inc.) -- Richard Kessler is the president of the non-profit Ripon Society and the fous of congressional travel controversies). These lobbying firms curiously retained WheatGR as lobbyist.

During this same time, WheatGR had retained Kessler & Associates to represent Wheat on Indian Affairs and Indian Gaming matters and paid Kessler $515,000 -- slightly more than the total WheatGR was paid by its own clients for represenation on the same matters, during the same period. It appears that fees paid by the Ilitch/Malik affiliates to WheatGR were passed through to Kessler & Associates.

Sapio also represented Koch Equipment.

Cape Cod Today speculated in 2006 that it was coal and oil billionaire Bill Koch who used a tangled web of lobbying firms (including Kessler & U.S. Strategies) to get Rep. Don Young to insert an amendment in a Coast Guard Bill that was anticipated to kill the Cape's offshore wind power industry. If true, Sapio might know something about it.

King of Congressional Boondoggles - Ripon Society & Richard "Rick" Kessler

Since 1964, the Ripon Society has tried to create a more inclusive GOP through 'moderate, progressive policy formation,' according to its official mission statement. Currently headed by Lobbyist Richard Kessler. Among Kessler's clients Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Wheat Government Relations (another lobbying firm that passes through clients)

Wheat is on the books representing various affiliates and partners of Marian Ilitch and Mike Malik. Wheat turns around and has passed through more than $515,000.000 from those entities to Kessler. Kessler keeps an arms distance from Ilitch/Malik entities by using Wheat as the middleman.

Alcalde is latest controversial player on the Ilitch/Malik DC Team

These details from opensecrets.org and the Center for Responsive Politics:

Richard Alcalde, long-time D.C. Lobbyist with ties to some of the most notorious Members of Congress including Rep. Don Young, Rep. Jerry Lewis, Rep. John Dolittle, Rep. Gary Miller, etc. was retained by Michael J. Malik, Sr. in 2005. Malik selected Alcalde after his then lobbyist Barbara Bonfiglio abruptly left her firm, Williams & Jensen, under a heavy cloud of suspicion tied to her additional role as PAC Treasurer for Tom DeLay, Rick Santorum, Richard Pombo and others.

Founded Potomac Partners D.C. in 2005.

Washington Post uncovers Alcalde hired Rep. Jerry Lewis step-daughter Julie Willis-Leon (she lives in Las Vegas) as a consultant and advisor to Alcalde's D.C. based lobbying firm while at the same time he has clients with matters before Rep. Lewis, then chair of House Appropriations.

Hires rookie son of Rep. Doolittle's longtime political aide John Feliz (the younger Daniel X. Feliz) to assist with representation for two of Potomac's biggest clients: MJM Enterprises Development Company (Malik); and Shinnecock Indian Nation (Malik's Partners). John Feliz was a central player in Rep. Richard's Pombo's re-election campaigns and was said to be one of Pombo's key fund raisers.

PR firm for Ilitch Holdings & Casinos loaned to Rep. Candice Miller’s re-election campaigns

A Lansing-based GOP public relations/political consulting firm primarily representing entities controlled by Mike & Marian Ilitch or their casino syndication partner Michael J. Malik, Sr. has handled advertising and political consulting duties for Rep. Candice Miller’s (R-MI) last two re-election campaigns at a fraction of the costs her campaign paid for the same services the first time she was elected to the House of Representatives (2002).

Background

Tom Shields’ Marketing Resource Group, Inc. does a substantial percentage of business with entities owned or controlled by Mike Ilitch and Marian Ilitch, and also Michael J. Malik Sr. (MRG Client List). He represents nearly all the Indian Tribes and casinos in which Ilitch/Malik have interests. He frequently provides pro bono or discounted services to community groups and those who can help him advance his clients’ agenda.

In her first race (2002) for Congress, then-Michigan Secretary of State Candice Miller paid close to $1 million for advertising and consulting to William Eisner Associates, Inc. Records do not indicate MRG or Shields were part of her first Congressional Campaign. The first campaign was not supported in any significant financial way by the Ilitch Family or Malik.

Miller pushes Ilitch/Malik backed Casino

Then on February 13, 2003, freshman Rep. Miller introduced a bill, H.R. 831, to push approvals for a Port Huron Indian casino through Congress. The casino proposal has been backed by Detroit casino syndicators Malik and Mrs. Marian Ilitch for nearly a decade. They have a core team of lawyers and public relations people that work with them on these various projects, among them are Dykema Gossett PLLC (Lansing & Detroit) and Marketing Resource Group, Inc. (Lansing).

Ilitch/Malik contribute $75,000 to Miller

March 11, 2003 the Ilitch Family, Malik, Shields and several associates contribute $25,500 to Rep. Miller’s campaign committee making 3/11/03 the second biggest fundraising day of Miller’s first two year term in Congress. By the end of 2006, Federal Election Commission records indicate the Ilitch Family and Malik alone had contributed $75,000 to Rep. Miller’s committees.

Ilitch PR Boss takes over Miller campaign duties

When it came time to seek re-election to Congress in 2004 & 2006, Rep. Miller apparently abandoned the advertising and political consulting firm that helped elect her to a first term in Congress and began working with the same firm behind many Ilitch ventures, Marketing Resource Group, Inc., a firm founded by Tom Shields. Shields is often spokesman for the Ilitch Family and their various business affiliates and Indian tribe partners. Shields’ firm charged Rep. Miller a fraction of the costs her campaign spent in 2002.

It is unclear whether or not Shields/Marketing Resource Group was compensated for creative, consulting and management services to Rep. Miller’s campaign or if the work was done free of charge for Miller. Perhaps Shields’ services to Rep Miller were “free” or at greatly discounted costs because it appears that MRG only billed Miller’s campaign for the actual costs of purchasing the air time for advertising.
