A recent audit has revealed significant oversight failures by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), leading to a $250 million theft from the federal food aid program, Feeding our Future. The Minnesota Office of the Legislative Auditor's 120-page report highlights the MDE's lax oversight, which federal prosecutors have labeled as the largest pandemic fraud case in the nation. House Minority Leader Lisa Demuth criticized the Walz Administration and legislative Democrats for their failure to prevent fraud. Additionally, an audit of the $500 million Minnesota COVID program found that only 60% of recipients were confirmed as eligible.
