A consultant for Gov. Whitmer’s (D-MI) administration sent a message to an adviser in a different language allegedly to “conceal' the message.
A consultant for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration sent a message to a Whitmer adviser in a different language as part of a “calculated” effort to “conceal” the message from public records, a lawsuit alleges.
The communication discussed the 2021 lead water crisis in Benton Harbor, Michigan, a town whose residents ultimately sued Whitmer over her administration’s “deliberate indifference” to addressing the crisis. For years, the town’s water system exceeded federal standards of lead contamination.a move that “appears to be calculated to conceal the statements,” a class action lawsuit against Whitmer’s government alleges.
While the lawsuit eventually led to the discovery of Leavitt’s message, the email likely would have remained hidden from the public if Whitmer’s administration had not faced legal action. That’s because Michigan’s public records department is unable to electronically search for records that use Greek letters, government correspondence obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
