"I’m proud to have remained true to my principles, even when doing so came at a significant political cost," he added.

#3  Happily, there are no Meijer's stores where I live. I'd hate to get busted for public defecation on their sidewalk.

#2  Meijer spent $4 million of his own money on his campaign. The $450k from the dems is not chicken scratch but it isn't the push over the top either. And it's money they don't have now to spend elsewhere.

Anybody remember Rush Limbaugh's operation chaos to back Obama over Hillary?
