Prosecutor won't bring charges in Meijer case
TRAVERSE CITY (AP) -- The Grand Traverse County prosecutor says he won't bring charges following an investigation stemming from retailer Meijer Inc.'s campaign activities.
Alan Schneider told the Traverse City Record-Eagle last Friday that perjury may have taken place during a 2007 deposition in Grand Rapids for a civil lawsuit, but that is out of his jurisdiction. Schneider says he'll forward his information to prosecutors in Kent County.
In April, Schneider declined to charge employees and officers of Grand Rapids-based Meijer in an investigation into whether campaign finance laws were broken.
The company funded a 2007 attempt to recall the Acme Township Board over a zoning dispute. Meijer had been arguing with local officials over its plans for a store.
The state of Michigan fined Meijer more than $190,000 for violating campaign laws.
