They’ve never worked in the private sector, never made an honest living so why would they respect the schnooks who do? They piss on your hard earned wages.

There’s no accountability, no transparency. Just corruption.

We need Trump’s Government Efficiency Commission.

Minnesota congressional candidate slams Tim Walz’s ‘progressive’ policies: ‘He abandoned us’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is facing renewed scrutiny for a $250 million COVID-19 fraud scandal in Minnesota that critics say falls on his shoulders as governor, particularly after he was tapped as a running mate for Kamala Harris on the 2024 Democratic ticket.

Between 2022 and 2024, 70 people have been charged in connection with the fraud scheme that resulted in a quarter-billion-dollar loss from the Minnesota Department of Education’s (MDE) Feeding Our Future program — a federally funded meal assistance plan meant to help give free meals to eligible children and adults.

“At least a quarter billion dollars was stolen by fraudsters,” Billy Glahn, adjunct policy fellow with Minnesota-based Center of the American Experiment, told Fox News Digital of the scandal.

“The question, of course, came up: How did the state Department of Education let out $250 million out the door to people who were later convicted of defrauding the program? The legislative auditor took this on as one of her projects and did this report looking at how the department oversaw a single one of these nonprofits involved.”

Glahn is referencing a report from the Minnesota Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA), which frequently releases state government oversight reports.

The report about fraud scheme in question, titled “Minnesota Department of Education: Oversight of Feeding Our Future,” was released in June. In it, legislative auditor Judy Randall concludes that although MDE officials told OLA they quickly identified and stopped the fraud, OLA believes they could have done more to prevent $250 million in stolen funds.

“MDE officials told us that the department began to have concerns about Feeding Our Future only after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, we think MDE failed to act on warning signs known to the department prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and prior to the start of the alleged fraud,” the report states.

It continues later on: “More broadly, the failures we highlight in this report are symptoms of a department that was ill-prepared to respond to the issues it encountered with Feeding Our Future.”

Critics say this failure goes back to Walz’s leadership as governor. “The buck has to stop somewhere,” as Glahn put it.

“He is the chief executive of the state. All of the people at the Department of Education and the other departments where fraud has taken place were appointed by him,” Glahn noted. “So he appoints the commissioner, the deputy commissioner, assistant commissioners. They were all appointed by him. They all report to him. And these are the folks whom the legislative auditor has documented failed to do their job. So where does the buck stop?”
