ST. PAUL — Rep. Steve Green, R-Fosston, issued the following statement regarding Thursday’s passage of HF4531, a package of bills that continue the Minnesota Legislature's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“My focus during the COVID-19 outbreak has been to continue working for constituents,” Green said. “While a state response to this situation is important, I have massive concerns over the lack of public input and almost non-existent accountability for how taxpayer dollars allocated to combating COVID-19 have been spent to this point. The $221 million we provided earlier this month to assist hospitals ‘if needed’ during this outbreak has lacked adequate accounting.”
