Group aiming to sabotage Whitmer’s Covid policies funded by dark money

Non-profit affiliated with utility DTE Energy funded effort to repeal Michigan governor's emergency order powers

A dark money non-profit linked to power utility DTE Energy funded a group behind the effort to repeal the emergency order powers of Michigan's Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, and end the state's Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions.

Internal Revenue Service records revealing a $100,000 donation made in 2020 were not publicly available until late 2021, and show the funds were contributed to another dark money non-profit that served as a primary funder of the Unlock Michigan repeal campaign.
