The epidemic of fraud perpetrated against Minnesota’s taxpayers under Gov. Walz’ administration is a big issue for Minnesotans. As I noted yesterday, a KSTP poll released on Friday asked: “Do you think fraud in state programs is the biggest problem in Minnesota?” KSTP reports:
…79% say it’s either the biggest problem or a major problem.
KSTP asked: “Has Gov. Tim Walz done enough to stop fraud in Minnesota?”
Fourteen percent say that he’s done enough, while 69% say he needs to do more.
The survey also asked if the Legislature has done enough — 11% say yes, and 74% say they need to do more.
Given that the DFL has held two out of three of the governor’s mansion, state Senate, and state House in every year since 2019, this reflects badly on the party.
In a brave attempt to convince Minnesotans that they are wrong, under fire DFL chair Richard Carlbom tweeted:
The obvious point to make is that none of this worked: fraudsters in Minnesota were still able to make off with “billions” of taxpayer dollars. The success or failure of these measures should not be judged by their intentions, but by their results.
