Michigan's Whitmer, ex-health director to waive confidentiality agreement over resignation following backlash
Fox News
Following a backlash, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the state’s former health director agreed this week to waive a confidentiality clause related to a $155,000 severance deal amid the official's abrupt resignation in January.
Gordon resigned the day after he issued an order to allow indoor dining to resume, WDIV-TV in Detroit reported. Neither Whitmer nor Gordon have given the reason for his departure but his successor, Elizabeth Hertel, intimated that Whitmer and Gordon may have had a difference of opinion about coronavirus orders.More Related News
