History will look poorly upon the Democrats who so stridently locked down citizens and destroyed their personal liberties. If Republicans voters had a choice, these liberal politicians who insisted on endless lockdowns would be locked away themselves.
Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer was perhaps on of the most radical pro-lockdown governors in the nation. While taking family vacations across Michigan and abroad, Whitmer kept her state under perpetual control by limiting movement and destroying small businesses.
Now the Whitmer administration has reportedly burned notes and destroyed emails from a coronavirus probe targeting the City of Port Huron for violating state rules.
According to local reports, state Inspector Matthew Hartman of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) fined the City of Port Huron $6,300 after visiting on July 21 due to a complaint. The complaint reportedly alleged the city violated the state’s coronavirus rules.
Hartman apparently fined the city without “witnessing anyone not wearing a mask” or “violating” coronavirus rules. Hartman reportedly claimed “employees he interviewed saw violations.”
The city believes the fines were not lawful due to the Michigan Supreme Court previously ruling Gretchen Whitmer executive orders related to the enforced rule were unconstitutional.
When asked about notes he took during the investigation and interviews, Hartman said he “burned them,”
The inspector also said he destroyed emails from his supervisor regarding the case.
It is unknown why the notes and emails were disposed of.
Port Huron’s lawyer, Todd Shoudy, reportedly notified MIOSHA on October 15 he intended to next depose the agency’s director, Bart Pickelman. But just 15 days later, the agency apparently said it would dismiss the case into the city of Port Huron.
Port Huron’s city manager Manager James Freed has reportedly demanded MIOSHA be investigated over the incident. The state of Michigan reportedly cost the city up to $20,000 to repeal the state’s case.
“My heart breaks for all the small businesses and mom-and-pops that didn’t have an expert legal team, who didn’t have the resources to put MIOSHA under oath,” Freed told the Detroit News.
The Center Square suggests Hartman under deposition revealed “Whitmer’s executive orders led MIOSHA’s rule enforcement.
The total damage done to small businesses and individuals by Whitmer has yet to be fully understood. It goes without saying that she, along with a handful of other governor’s, deserve to face punishment for their crimes against humanity.
