GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Former state Rep. Larry Inman, R-Williamsburg, cannot be retried on charges of attempted extortion and soliciting a bribe, a federal judge ruled.
The Northern Michigan legislator was acquitted at trial of lying to the FBI but jurors deadlocked on the other charges.
The government said Inman sought campaign contributions in exchange for his vote on a 2018 repeal of the prevailing-wage law. The law required workers on public projects, such as school buildings, receive union-level wages.
Inman voted for the repeal, which narrowly passed. The government contended he offered to vote against repeal in exchange for campaign contributions.
