A consultant's Greek-encoded email to a senior adviser for Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer aimed to “conceal' information from discovery in public records queries, a lawsuit claims.
Highlighting his use of the Greek alphabet in the email, the court filing noted that Leavitt's action"appears to be calculated to conceal the statements." The filing also noted that Leavitt"prefaced his grave concerns about the water crises with a reference back to his prior warnings and the State and City Defendants’ failure to learn from the Flint tragedy.", previously served as a consultant for the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
The coded email was not discovered until the discovery phase of the lawsuit, which was filed in November 2021 by residents of Benton Harbor against Whitmer, the state of Michigan, the city and others. Had the state government not been sued, the Beacon reported that it likely would never have discovered the email because Michigan's public records department cannot electronically search for records containing Greek letters.in the city came after the water system in Benton Harbor, according to the outlet,"for years exceeded federal standards for lead contamination."
