[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg they’re grasping at straws.[/quote]

CNN is grasping at straws?

Why do you think the fraud uncovered under Walz in MN is not important?[/quote]

There's literally federal monies fraud in all 50 states - taxes, COVID funds, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, veterans' benefits, etc.

Waste and fraud is a FEATURE of all these programs because scamsters are attracted to getting government money. Ask Senator Rick Scott.[/quote]

A CNN review of audits – and the responses they prompted – as well as interviews with statewide politicians and pundits, found that Walz has been a hands-off leader when it comes to seeking accountability for episodes of fraud and mismanagement on his watch. [i]What’s more, some state agencies headed by his appointees have responded defensively in recent months to the audits – a dynamic that Randall, who has worked in the department for 26 years, has found surprising.[/i]

“They’ve been emboldened because they’ve got the cover,” Koran said. “They believe they’re untouchable.”

Some nonpartisan political observers in Minnesota say there’s truth to the complaints.

Dan Myers, an associate professor of political science at the University of Minnesota, said Democrats’ so-called trifecta in state government has likely hindered efforts to get clear answers into what went wrong in certain cases of fraud and waste.

“There has been less digging into that than there almost certainly would be if Republicans had had one more seat in the state Senate,” he said.

Ah- this mirrors the attitudes of democrats posting here: it’s ok if it’s us. ✅

then the state AG should uncover it and charge for the crimes. No one is suggesting otherwise.[/quote]
