Yikes. Looks like Walz DHs office fabricated documented to cover up rampant fraud they all knew about
You should post the article. It’s incredible
@PEB @Scott Stapp - Note the years... lol. Walz's pathetic attempt to shit out a "Fraud Protection" program mid 2025 was a desperate attempt at covering his ass. He fucking knew what was coming. And Nick Shirley just hastened the process and prevented this fucking clown from having any chance of being re-elected before inevitable hammer squashed any hopes he had.

A major state audit in
Minnesota conducted by the nonpartisan Office of the Legislative Auditor found widespread failures and internal control problems in the Department of Human Services’ Behavioral Health Administration grant program, reaffirming concerns about massive fraud issues.
The
report, released on Monday, found that between July 1, 2022, and Dec. 31, 2024, DHS dished out more than $425 million in grants to 830 organizations, the majority being nongovernmental, and did not show proper oversight in watching over those taxpayer funds, which in many cases were meant to help those with addiction and mental health issues.
The audit found missing progress reports and discovered BHA could not show it had completed all required monitoring visits and had no documentation at all for some of them.
Additionally, auditors discovered what appeared to be backdated or newly created documentation that did not exist before the audit, suggesting an effort to retroactively manufacture paperwork to show compliance.
Minnesota’s government agencies are already under heavy scrutiny amid a fraud scandal that prosecutors say could total as much as $9 billion and has already forced Gov.
Tim Walz to drop his re-election bid.
"Today’s shocking report by the Legislative Auditor shows a culture of pervasive fraud, negligence, and deception," Republican House Speaker DeMuth
said about the report.
"We need answers immediately about the apparent backdating and potential falsification of documents found during the audit…It’s time to clean house and restore honesty and accountability in state agencies."
Ultimately, the report concluded that the state government "did not comply with most requirements tested for mental health and substance use disorder grants and did not have adequate internal controls over grant funds."
"The audit makes clear that DHS leadership has failed at every level. Employees were not properly trained, oversight was ignored, and accountability was missing, from Governor Walz, to Temporary DHS Commissioner Gandhi, to BHA managers. DHS needs a full reset, starting with leadership, training, ethics, and oversight," Koran said in the press release.
