#4  But then, politicians and developers have been running similar scams in California for decades and nobody ever audits them so at least Minnesota has that going for them.

#3  “Today we learned Governor Walz is shutting down a housing program riddled with fraud, not to fix it, but to prevent any more embarrassment. Instead of holding anyone accountable, they’re pulling the plug before an audit can expose just how badly they mismanaged millions in taxpayer fundsmuch they stole,” Johnson said.

#2  I'd bet on it.

Minnesota Senate Republican Leader Mark Johnson excoriated Walz for the fraud and his response to the investigation.

“Today we learned Governor Walz is shutting down a housing program riddled with fraud, not to fix it, but to prevent any more embarrassment. Instead of holding anyone accountable, they’re pulling the plug before an audit can expose just how badly they mismanaged millions in taxpayer funds,” Johnson said.

The investigation into the housing fraud in Minnesota only adds to the growing number of fraudulent and mismanaged state programs, including the hundreds of autism clinics that wasted tens of millions in state tax dollars, and the $250 million fraud in a coronavirus relief program that was supposed to pay for food for children.
