House Oversight Committee concludes Tim Walz' administration knew of fraud, failed to act
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s administration was made aware of fraud in benefits programs early in his tenure, but failed to take action to stop it, an interim report based on testimony from nine state officials concluded.
Senior Minnesota government officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, were aware of claims of widespread fraud in the state’s federally funded welfare programs for years, but failed to act other than to retaliate against whistleblowers, the House Oversight Committee concluded in a report released Wednesday.
We've heard of the problem before in numerous other contexts - attacking whistleblowers. It's common enough to begin with the baseline assumption that whistleblowers are to be taken seriously, especially when more than one of them blows the same whistle in the same way. It's a clue.
