LANSING — Three years after becoming governor on a pledge to increase transparency, Gretchen Whitmer is under fire yet again for keeping secrets.
As a gubernatorial candidate in 2018, the Democrat unveiled the Michigan Sunshine Plan, which she said would “rewrite the rules in Lansing to work for regular families by making the state government more open, transparent and accountable to Michigan taxpayers.”
Nothing has come of the plan, though, or Whitmer’s pledge to open the governor’s office to the state’s Freedom of Information Act — and she’s under scrutiny for the second time in several weeks for being less than transparent.
