Gretchen Whitmer slips state money to leftist political operatives to spy on Michiganders, then lies about it

It's pretty amazing how many negative activities gather around Michigan's hard-faced and ambitious Democrat governor, Gretchen Whitmer.

Besides her outrageous performance on the coronavirus crisis - banning sales of garden seeds, seeding nursing homes with COVID-19 patients, forcing private dam operators to overfill their reservoir for greenie purposes, causing two of them to burst -- she's also a liar.

We saw that clearly enough when her husband tried to put himself at the front of the boating queue by citing his marriage to her -- cronyism at its worst -- and she claimed it was a joke. It was a story so egregiously bad

...

Newly released emails show that Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s office gave the “green light” for taxpayer money to be awarded to Democrat groups as part of the state’s coronavirus tracing program.

“Whitmer’s office gave the ‘green light’ for a COVID-19 contact tracing ‘arrangement’ she denied knowledge of and canceled amid outcry over a contractor with Democratic ties,

...

handing leftists an illegal campaign contribution at taxpayer expense, amounting to naked political corruption.

Now she's lying about the whole thing.

I am glad I don’t live in Michigan. But if something bad ever happened to some of these politicians, I wouldn’t be able to shed a tear.

She’s a Democrat. It isn’t corruption if she isn’t convicted of it. Or even if she is, it isn’t.

One dam burst. The lower dam held despite the surge from the upper dam. More importantly the lake was filled in April for recreation: to run motor boats owned by the 900+ lakefront property owners. The "endangered" freshwater mussels were an excuse, not the reason the state approved refilling the lake.

Oh yeah, one more inaccuracy. The dam is publicly owned as of last January

Michigan is not a Dem state. Just the big cities and a few other places. By landmass the state is GOP. Unfortunately the GOP areas are forced to do what the Dems want because the big cities out number the rural areas.
