A spokesperson for Governor Tim Walz’s office said that the governor worked years to stop fraud. Walz had apparently asked for more state oversight, had strengthened oversight, and hired an outside audit firm to audit high risk programs. Walz previously took to social media to declare<\/a> a lack of tolerance for fraud and the desire to work with the federal government against fraud.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for his office defended him and claimed the governor has long worked to stop fraud, Fox News reported Sunday.<\/p>\n

“The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action. He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed,” the official said, adding Walz “hired an outside firm to audit payments to high-risk programs, shut down the Housing Stabilization Services program entirely, announced a new statewide program integrity director, and supported criminal prosecutions.”<\/p>\n

In a social media post on December 18, the governor said, “We will not tolerate fraud, and we will continue to work with our federal partners to ensure fraud is stopped and fraudsters are caught.”<\/p>\n

However, the news comes as citizen journalist Nick Shirley reports on the issue in Minnesota, claiming he and his team have uncovered massive fraud, Breitbart News reported Saturday. The outlet noted some of the places Shirley visited where alleged fraud occurred were daycare centers that reportedly received millions in federal aid but had no children at their facilities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
