Tougher penalties, AI technology at center of Gov. Tim Walz plan to combat fraud
MPR News
People who attempt to rip off state dollars aimed at helping children or people with disabilities would face stiffer penalties, under a multi-pronged proposal that Gov. Tim Walz rolled out on Friday ahead of a legislative session where the issue is sure to be a focus.
“Minnesotans rightly have no tolerance for misuse of taxpayer dollars. This plan directs every single state agency to work together to better prevent, detect, investigate and punish fraud,” Walz said in announcing the proposal.
Republicans greeted the framework with skepticism. It was “too little too late” in the words of Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson of East Grand Forks. But he and other GOP leaders said they’d work with Democrats to fashion bipartisan legislation and press them to make good on promises to fight fraud.
