Minnesota Fraud
Posted on by dmartignetti

Matt discusses the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) decision to freeze $185 million in child care funding for Minnesota due to allegations of fraud against Governor Tim Walz’s administration.

HHS alleges that Minnesota has allowed scammers to steal millions, prompting a demand for a comprehensive audit and new fraud reporting measures.
