In the suit filed Monday, fired administrator Natasha Henderson claims that in February 2016, Flint's current mayor, Karen Weaver, directed a former city employee and a city volunteer to stop directing potential donors to a charity called Safe Water/Safe Homes. That charity was run by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint and had been approved by the city for water-crisis donations......

Now: "This is a lie and the truth will prove me right".
Later: "It happened but I never ordered her to do that"
Much Later: "I was sick and didn't know what I was doing".

Be nice.  She's a good guy in this saga.  She was the bureaucrat ordered to divert charity money away from the city-approved charity into the Mayor's own little piggy-bank.  She called in the attorney (who got sacked), and it appears she also got sacked for her efforts.

I thought she got sacked then she squealed.   A a disgrunted employee thing?   :shrug:

Doesn't look that way.  She was ordered to do the referral of charity money, and she went to the city attorney with her concerns about being thrown in jail for it.  I can't tell if she got sacked before or after the report.

Meanwhile, the Mayor's public stance is she ran on a promise of housecleaning, and the sackings are part of it.

This whole story is older than Dinosaur crap.  Should be resolved by now, but there are no stories other than a Judge dismissing the attorney's lawsuit.
