Grift, Minnesota-Style

The NY Post Editorial Board ripped Tim Walz's DFL administration to shreds in this editorial. The NY Post didn't pull its punches, starting in the first paragraph. It opened by saying "In the end, the most appalling thing about the ballooning US social-services fraud scandals is the eager collusion of state officials in robbing the public by the billions — with Minnesota the early prime example. Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday asked the Justice Department to investigate and perhaps prosecute Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and other high officials over the evidence laid out in a devastating House Oversight Committee report on benefit fraud in Minnesota."

Next, it said "The committee documented how more than 30 whistleblowers tried to sound the alarm on fraud, only to be silenced by the Democrats running the state — e.g., with explicit orders to 'stop looking into' obvious fraud because the folks in charge feared being labeled 'racist or Islamophobic.

I'm no legal eagle but I'm betting that, at minimum, Keith Ellison is heading to trial. Bill Glahn, the man at the heart of the Minnesota Feeding Our Future scandal, dug up this audio tape of Ellison meeting with FOF grifters:

Ellison is a slick lawyer but he'll need to do some extra-fast tapdancing to get around that tape. Remember, too, that this case doesn't have to be tried in the Twin Cities. It can tried anywhere in Minnesota. This is disturbing:
Worse, the state Department of Human Services actually investigated state workers who called out the fraud — tracking their phones, photographed their cars and even collected personal info such as their children’s schools. A worker who emailed that she knew of noncompliant contracts approved by management that put “DHS funds at risk” found herself labeled “disruptive” and put on investigative leave. Hotlines and other ways of supposedly reporting fraud anonymously turned out not to be, as workers’ confidential reports wound up being cited by HR as cause for discipline.
That's the Walz administration using "workers’ confidential reports wound up being cited by HR as cause for discipline." Those communications are, by Minnesota state law, confidential! Ilhan Omar might also be in difficulty:

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

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...

I couldn't help but smile when I read the headline to this article . The title is "BREAKING: Minnesota Department of Education to strengthen hiring practices — after Alpha News reports." Thank God for well-run government agencies. Under DFL management, the Minnesota Department of Education, aka MDE, has turned inot an embarassment. Thank God Alpha News takes oversight seriously. Alpha News reports that "The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) says it will now require criminal background checks for “all new hires” and is working to adopt tougher hiring policies—after Alpha News’ exclusive reporting on a convicted sex offender’s employment in a high-level state role." The article continues, saying "The department announced the changes in a letter to Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Maple Grove, following widespread concern over its hiring of Wilson Tindi, a Kenyan national on the state’s predatory offender registry who was earning $145,000 a year as Director of I...
