Businesses leave GR Chamber over Schuette endorsement

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Founders Brewing Co. has joined a growing list of businesses leaving the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce over its endorsement of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Schuette.

Founders decided to terminate its membership with the Chamber after the Grand Rapids Pride Center brought up concerns about Schuette's stance on LGBT issues.

"We stand with our LGBTQ community and ask that the @GRChamber reverse their decision," Founders posted on social media Monday afternoon.
