Judge Kulczycki Decides to Open Detroit Casinos Despite Michigan Shutdown
On September 28th, 2007, a circuit court judge from Wayne County issued a restraining order (TRO) which allows three casinos in Detroit to remain open for business if the state government of Michigan closes down. Jennifer Kulczycki, the spokesperson for the MotorCity casino said that they are very pleased with the current development.
She commented that the casinos prepaid the Michigan Gaming Control Board for all of the services this year. She added that since Michigan Gaming Control Board is financed by the casinos, it will not cost the state if they stay open. Some services that will be shut down if the state still lacks the cash include the state gambling inspections.
The state legislators and the governor have been unable to agree on the 2008 budget and a plan to solve the existing $1.75 billion deficit. A spokesperson for the Michigan Attorney General's office, Matt Frendeway commented that an appeal regarding the court decision was being reviewed.
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's press secretary, Matt Allen said that the Mayor was happy with the ruling, because the casinos contribute $440,000 to $500,000 in taxes for the city treasury daily.
The spokesperson for the MGM Grand Casino, which is operated by MGM Mirage, Scott Grigg had nothing to say about the ongoing court case. MGM Grand Casino was scheduled to debut their new casino and hotel facility this weekend. The MotorCity casino is owned by private organization, while the Greektown Casino is own by American Indians.
