After years of investigation and a battle for subpoenas that went all the way to the Michigan Supreme Court, there will be no criminal charges filed over Meijer Corporation's actions in Acme Township.

A prosecutor in Grand Rapids says a perjury case against a lawyer for Meijer Corporation is not strong enough. William Forsyth told the Grand Rapids Press he will not press charges.

The company has paid civil fines to the state for its secret roll in two elections in Acme Township. It's also settled with local officials who claimed Meijer bullied them over its plans to build a store east of Traverse City.

Meijer still hopes to build a store in Acme Township.

We already have an ugly big box in Kmart there already but they’ve hidden it descent with trees, but you aren’t going to hide any big box and it’s sea of asphalt creating additional storm water run off into Acme or Yuba Creek backwaters, where the creeks are formed from natural run off or artesian water coming up from the ground that begin the water run off into the Bay. Why would we want pavement and crapp and development dumping into those watersheds? check this out: http://DowtownAcmeProgress.com clickthere or copy and paste into your browser to see a video and take a survey and make your comments so you know the entire story on the Proposed Summit Place Project on lands adjacent the Grand Traverse Resort on US-31 as it goes through the entitlement process. Thank you for your support and those from the commity and around that have liked our sites, our video, pictures and drawings and hope you find it all interesting enough to come discuss it Monday night, August 29, 2011 at 7:00pm at the Dinner Theater in Acme. http://youtu.be/1jSW9EYgZ9o?t=2s
