Nessel “Deeply Concerned” By MEDC Conduct During Probe Of Grant

(Detroit, MI) – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel says she was “deeply concerned” by the conduct of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation as her office investigated a 20-million-dollar grant. She suggested the agency “shouldn’t receive any funds at all” until better oversight is put in place after she says the MEDC “stonewalled” her investigators. Nessel was investigating the 20-million-dollar grant awarded to Fay Beydoun and her Global Link International, of which she spent 45-hundred-dollars on a coffee maker and bought 13-thousand-dollar plane tickets to Europe to attend a conference.

Beydoun was on the MEDC executive committee, appointed by Governor Whitmer, when she received the grant.
