President Donald Trump is set to visit Detroit, and the University of Michigan has received a Notice of Allegations in a sign-stealing scandal, among other headlines making news in Michigan. In the sporting world, a golf club in southwestern Michigan has agreed to pay $440,000 to settle allegations that it wrongly obtained a loan through a federal program during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gull Lake Country Club, near Richland in Kalamazoo County, was not eligible for a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program, according to U.S. Attorney Mark Totten. A whistleblower filed a lawsuit against the club, and the federal government joined the case, with most documents now sealed in federal court in Grand Rapids.
Totten emphasized the commitment to protecting taxpayer dollars and investigating fraud on critical government programs like the PPP. The lawsuit was filed by Wade Riner, who will receive a share of the settlement and has filed similar lawsuits in other states. Meanwhile, President Trump’s visit to Detroit is expected to draw significant attention, and the University of Michigan is facing scrutiny after receiving a Notice of Allegations in a sign-stealing scandal. These ongoing stories highlight the diverse range of issues and developments taking place in Michigan, from legal settlements to high-profile political visits.
