A coded email sent by a consultant to a policy adviser for Democrat Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was used to "conceal" certain information related to the state's handling of a local water crisis from becoming public knowledge, according to a lawsuit filed by residents of Benton Harbor.
Andrew Leavitt, who once served as a consultant to Michigan’s energy department, used letters from the Greek alphabet to send the September 2021 email to Kara Cook, Whitmer's senior energy adviser, the class action lawsuit alleges.
"Hot off the presses. As I warned there are some major red flags. It seems like we are back at square one having not learned from Flint," reads the decoded email, which was first reported Wednesday by the Washington Free Beacon.
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."
