      <title>McManus issues statement on Meijer ruling by SOS 
      </title>
      <link>http://www.senate.michigan.gov/gop/readarticle.asp?ID=1459&amp;District=35</link><description>&quot;As the chair of the Senate Campaign and Election Oversight Committee, I recently introduced Senate Bill 1299, which seeks to address the broad scope of campaign finance abuses. The committee is scheduled to hear testimony on this important legislation for the next two weeks. While I was pleased by the secretary of state's quick ruling on the Meijer, Inc. violations in Grand Traverse County, I look forward to learning the status of other complaints made to the department, some of which have languished for several years. It is my hope that the statutory changes in SB 1299 will create a more open and accountable process.&quot; </description><datePosted>5/13/2008</datePosted></item>
