Taxpayers shouldn't be on the hook for hush money | News, Sports, Jobs

Apparently silence isn’t priceless.
In fact, it costs a few hundred thousand taxpayer dollars and some billable hours from state-funded lawyers.
Or so we learned this week as news broke of cushy separation agreements brokered by Gov. Gretchen Whitmerís administration in an effort to help at least a couple of state agency leaders out the door.
Those agreements — one with former Michigan Department of Health and Human Services director Robert Gordon, and the other with former director of the state Unemployment Insurance Agency Steve Gray –are the equivalent of a golden parachute paired with a golden muzzle for folks whose job descriptions included serving the people of Michigan, not fleecing them.
