The Somali daycare will seem quaint once the real accounting is done. Unfortunately, it’s hard to look at the fraud mess in Minnesota and not say “Lot of that goin’ around.” Minnesota (state bird: the common loon) is the canary in the coal mine of the Biden era experiment of using COVID as an excuse to transfer trillions in wealth to favored coalition groups.
Certainly, the malfeasance that’s brought down Governor Tim Walz seems to be particularly acute in his state. His government and even his office appear to have been singularly paralyzed by the fear of being called racist for noticing that billions in public money were disappearing among Minnesota’s Somali diaspora. The “Feeding Our Future” program that started the investigations rolling in Minnesota began during COVID. The grifters received federal money to feed local children. The money came and nobody got fed. The case now has nearly 80 indictments for fraud worth at least $250 million. There was also housing program fraud, healthcare program fraud, and, most dramatically, childcare program fraud.
