Gov. Whitmer Releases Statement on Passing of Eugene Driker
LANSING, Mich. – Governor Gretchen Whitmer released the following statement on the passing of Eugene Driker:
“Eugene was a preeminent attorney, a lifelong and untiring advocate for his home city of Detroit, and a friend. He served with distinction as a Wayne State University governor and spent every day working to enrich and uplift his community.
