Government Investigators Clear Teamsters President in Michigan
A government-appointed anticorruption panel ruled yesterday that Lawrence Brennan, head of the Teamsters union in Michigan, was not guilty of using $30,000 in members’ dues for his re-election campaign. The panel reviewed the case after it declared a Teamsters’ internal investigation of the accusations inadequate. If Brennan had been convicted, he would have been expelled from the union.
