Kristin Robbins, Walter Hudson and Marion Rarick \u2013 Republicans in the state House of Representatives.\n<\/p>\n<p>Comer said these state lawmakers issued warnings about the alleged fraud in Minnesota but were ignored by the Walz administration.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMinnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in a massive fraud involving taxpayer dollars in Minnesota\u2019s social services programs,\u201d Comer said. \u201cAmerican taxpayers demand and deserve accountability for the theft of their hard-earned money.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Tuesday that it has frozen the sending of taxpayer dollars to Minnesota day care centers. The department sends $185 million each year to child care centers in Minnesota.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis misconduct cannot be swept aside, and Congress will not stop until taxpayers get the answers and accountability they deserve,\u201d\u00a0said Comer.\n<\/p>\n<h4>Share your prayers for truth, justice, and accountability below.<\/h4>\n<p><em>This article was originally published at The Center Square.
