The Michigan Secretary of State's office today announced its largest ever fine - $193,000 - against Meijer for violating state campaign finance laws in the company's effort to unseat Acme Township officials.

OK, let it go and let's get back to work.

Well there goes Terri Lands next political contribution from Fred.

This person must work for Meijer to make such a statement!

Funny that WZZM buries this story but puts two stories of interest for Detroit on the main page....

Hmm wonder why that is? WZZM has previously buried this story, unlike WOOD!

Must be the advertising dollars that they have with Meijer!

Slapped is right! Gently on the wrist. Naughty Meijer, naughty Meijer. Don't buy off anymore elections... and get caught!

This is nothing compared to the horse sh*t WALMART has been pulling in the past.

uhh this is about Meijer...not Wal*Mart

[Jeff]

Whats the big deal with the fine? Meijer will just pass along the cost to us. It sure won't be coming out of Fred's pocket or anyone else's.

[lower prices]

Well, all they will do is fire 10 employees to recoup the loss.

You got that right! They knew very well what they were doing. They just thought they were too big to get caught.

You just don't get it, do you? You just want to drag this crap on and on...

[just think]

GOOD

[Tczew]

Who cares, Fred has done more for West MI than Wal*Mart, GM, Ford, and the rest of the money grubbers. I will only shop at MEIJER. No I am not a employee.

Tczew (and others)..

Fred gave up control of the company years ago. I used to work for them. Fred stepped down as CEO and President in the late 1990s. Fortunately I was told to get out of the company before it went downhill. I did, but unfortunately some friends of mine didn't, and they paid the price.

Fred doesn't have any say on what Meijer has done for nearly a decade.

[Great]

Yeah I'm sure that $193,000 really hurt a man that is worth millions on top of millions, hey I make 50,000 a year here's $5 i've been bad. what a joke

You got that right!

I wonder why the Secretary of State hasn't prosecuted any Catholic Churches for violating election laws?

(Claiming to be a non-profit charity but getting involved and spending money to "influence" the vote!)

Ditto for a few West Michigan Baptist and Bible churches...

Especially the ones that distributed "Voters Guides" printed by the American Family Association censorship group.

Lock the felons up for life!

They deserve a far worse punishment than Meijers got!

Those who conspired to bring Bush to Power are the Number #1 most dangerous terrorist group in the USA!

Time to treat them like terrorists!

Maybe this person does work at Meijer. At least this is a working person and is smart enough to let things go that are already dealt with and a done issue. Now let's back to work - unless you are one of the unfortunate out-of-work people or too lazy to work. Let it Go!
