The massive fraud scandal that has plagued Minnesota under Governor Tim Walz just got significantly worse. A scathing new audit released this week reveals that the state's Department of Human Services (DHS) fabricated documents after an investigation began, pointing to what Republican House Speaker Lisa DeMuth called "a culture of pervasive fraud, negligence, and deception."
The audit found that DHS distributed more than $425 million in grants to 830 organizations—primarily non-governmental groups serving people with addiction and mental health issues—without proper oversight. Auditors discovered missing progress reports, incomplete monitoring visits, and most troubling, what appeared to be backdated or newly created documentation that didn't exist before the audit commenced.
