#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.

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