Lawsuit Alleges Flint Mayor Diverted Water Crisis Funds to Her Personal Account Lawsuit Alleges Flint Mayor Diverted Water Crisis Funds to Her Personal Account District Court, claiming she was fired from her position after asking the city attorney’s office to investigate claims Weaver may have been telling city staff and volunteers to send potential water crisis donors to her own personal account, rather than the official fund managed by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint.

The suit alleges that Weaver’s executive assistant, Maxine Murray, told Henderson in early February “she feared going to jail” after the mayor instructed her to divert donations from the Community Foundation of Greater Flint‘s Safe Water/Safe Home Fund to a fund called “Karenabout Flint.”

The lawsuit claims Murray allegedly told Henderson that she was specifically directed to tell donors and potential donors step-by-step how to donate to the Karenabout Flint fund through its website, rather than instruct them in the steps to donate to the Community Foundation’s fund.

The Safe Water, Safe Homes Campaign Fund was set up by the city to accept donations for the upkeep and maintenance of the Flint water distribution infrastructure.
