State Rep. Steve Carra is calling on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to revoke settlement funds of more than $155,000 included in a contract with former state health department director Robert Gordon.
Gordon resigned last month under what Carra called questionable circumstances. He said Gordon’s former deputy director, Sarah Esty, has also received a separation payout of an undisclosed amount.
Carra said the agreement with Gordon raises questions about what Whitmer doesn’t want Gordon sharing with the public, especially when New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is facing possible criminal prosecution for allegedly directing his state agencies to cover up decisions that resulted in needless COVID deaths in nursing homes.
