CANNON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A community near Grand Rapids has turned down thousands of dollars in state and federal aid related to the coronavirus epidemic. The reason: Cannon Township said it doesn't need it. The township board declined more than $140,000 from the federal government and will accept less than $1,000 from roughly $12,000 offered by the state, WOOD-TV reported. “These governments fall all over themselves to line up for quote, unquote, free money and we just decided what we were going to do is say enough of that is enough,” Grimm said. “People are parsing the application and so they’re saying things like, ‘Well, we bought new computers,’ even though they were budgeted,” Grimm said.
