Exposing Tim Walz's fraud failure

In a stunning announcement, The Minnesota Office of Legislative Auditor didn't pay attention to state policies. According to the article, "According to the OLA’s report, state auditors conducted a performance audit of the Office of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor that examined 18-months of operations from July of 2022 through December of 2024."

The article continues, saying "During that audit, the OLA 'focused on whether the office had controls to ensure that it appropriately collected receipts and reimbursements from events held at the governor’s residence, appropriately spent state funds, accurately paid its vendors and employees, and safeguarded state resources.'" Ultimately, state auditors found Walz’s office did not adequately follow policies relating to property management and receipt management. Additionally, the OLA identified numerous vendor payment problems, found that the office lacked proper documentation to support various employee reimbursements, and said the office had payroll issues.

Ultimatellly, "the OLA flagged 12 different issues which included the office not recovering the costs of private events at the governor’s mansion, employees not receiving proper retroactive pay, the failure to keep an updated inventory of office electronics, vendors not being paid on time, and the governor’s office issuing inaccurate reimbursements."

Perhaps, Gov. Walz didn't understand his responsibilities. The governor is CEO of the Executive Branch. It's the governor's responsibility to delegate responsibility to people to keep track of these these things. In that respect, Gov. Walz failed miserably.

That's Rich

In a letter responding to the OLA findings, Walz’s office said it agreed with almost all of the OLA’s findings and supported the auditor’s recommendations. Additionally, Walz’s office said many of the issues identified by the OLA were resolved before the audit began and 11 of the 12 issues have now been fully resolved.
Translation: Now that the Walz administration thoroughly screwed everything up, they've fixed things right before the report shamed the administration. The Walz administration has frequently had fraud problems:

If you want incompetence, vote Tim Walz. If you want someone who's already held people accountable, vote Jeff Johnson. As a member of the St. Cloud City Council, Jeff held Lutheran Social Services accountable for services they provided for the Refugee Resettlement Program.

Tim Walz's hostile work environment at DHS

Image
It isn't a secret that Tim Walz is running for a third straight term as Minnesota's governor. What's been a secret up until this tweet appeared is that Tim Walz's Deparment of Human Services is a hostile work environment. According to the tweet, "Tim Walz is utterly dishonest, malicious at heart & has dangerous intent. The 'folksy' public image Tim Walz portrays is not even remotely what he is like to work with. Despite repeated warnings about fraud, Tim Walz opted to ratchet up the retaliation and silence any ethical voices. Besides fraud, Tim Walz has allowed agencies to spend thousands, possibly millions on retaliation efforts to scare, threaten, and silence concerned employees." The tweet continues "Worst of all, despite unprecedented funds awarded or appropriated to DHS, our agency is now a hollow shell of incompetency as our programs have been destroyed & most ethical staff have left." Don't think that this much fraud happ...

Proof that Tim Walz doesn't care about fraud or other crime

Image
Anyone that thinks that Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, doesn't care about preventing crime or fraud hasn't read this article . Alpha News is reporting that "The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has confirmed that Dylan Adams, the fiscal policy analyst caught on video vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis, is still employed by the state — meaning Minnesota taxpayers are footing the bill for his salary. In response to Alpha News inquiries, a DHS spokesperson said: "Dylan Adams is a current employee." Apparently, the Walz administration doesn't care that it's employing a vandal in its Department of Human Services. As for whether Adams "has faced consequences for racking up more than $21,000 in damage during work hours , the agency offered little transparency. 'No public data exists with respect to disciplinary action,' the spokesperson said." This reminds me of the old phrase I coined, which says 'It's impossible to...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
