Dan Gilbert Among Businessmen Giving Money to Disgraced Detroit Mayor
Wonder if the Pee Dee will headline this story: Four billionaires have “loaned” $240,000 to the former disgrace Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. One of them our casino king: Dan Gilbert.
The Pee Dee has been supporting in its news columns Gilbert’s desire for a monopoly casino in Cleveland, along with other cities. The vote Tuesday will decide. Issue 3.
The loan to the former mayor, who resigned in Sept. 2008, suggests that Gilbert will spread his money around. It makes you wonder what politicians he might be helping here. Jimmy Dimora, Frank Russo?
The loans have not been repaid.
Kilpatrick was sentenced to four months in jail. The charge was obstruction of justice. However, there were many other charges against him and his administration.
The “loan” was made, according to reports, as he left jail.

Hmmm....
Between this and the illegal bookmaking stuff, it's beginning to look like Gilbert is one of those "wheelers and dealers" who cut corners and make back room deals to get things done, whether legal or not. Now he wants to alter the constitution to have his own monopoly on casinos? I think not.

In this video the officer clearly states that Gilbert has in fact been arrested for illegal bookmaking and he has been lying to us. We can't trust Dan Gilbert.
Dan Gilbert Is A Liar!!
Dan Gilbert said he wasn’t arrested. HE LIED!! He lied to the press to you and everybody. The officer who cuffed Gilbert http://bit.ly/1JLWdJ clearly states the he arrested him and refuted Gilbert’s lies. WE CAN’T TRUST GILBERT OR ANYONE FORM ISSUE 3!! VOTE ISSUE 3 DOWN!!
