A.F. Branco Cartoon – Now, after years of allowing fraud and abuse to flourish in Minnesota, Tim Walz vows to crack down on it. It seems as though he noticed his poll numbers dropping, hoping voters will ignore his part to play in these Democrat shenanigans. After losing hundreds of millions, Walz vows to ‘turn the dial’ on rampant fraud By Jenna Gloeb – AlphaNews.org – Jan 3, 2025 Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth said Minnesota needs “a process that is truly independent of the leadership that allowed fraud to run rampant over the last five years.” After six years in office and hundreds of millions lost to fraud, Gov. Tim Walz announced a new anti-fraud initiative Friday, raising questions about why it took so long for the governor to act. With just under two years left before the next gubernatorial election, Walz says he wants to “turn the dial” on the state’s approach to combating fraud. “It’s simply unacceptable. It’s maddening, and it makes myself and Minnesotans angry about this,” Walz said. The plan includes creating a centralized fraud investigation unit under the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), expanded use of artificial intelligence for fraud detection, and increased penalties for financial crimes targeting public assistance programs.
