Novotny Calls on Attorney General Ellison to Prosecute Uncharged Individuals in Feeding Our Future Fraud St. Paul, MN — State Representative Paul Novotny, R-Elk River, sent a letter this morning to Attorney General Keith Ellison calling for immediate action to hold accountable those involved in the Feeding Our Future scandal who have not yet been charged by federal prosecutors.
The letter comes after a Star Tribune report published on June 11, 2025, in a story titled “Hundreds had ties to Feeding Our Future. Many may not face charges,” revealed that federal prosecutors lack the resources to pursue charges against many individuals connected to the fraud. To date, 72 people have been charged, though hundreds more remain unprosecuted. In his letter, Rep. Novotny outlines four key actions for Attorney General Ellison: Open criminal investigations into all uncharged individuals and organizations that received suspicious reimbursements. Prosecute offenders under state fraud and theft laws if federal authorities will not. Publicly disclose a plan to hold wrongdoers accountable, with clear timelines and updates. Work transparently with the Legislature to ensure justice is being served.
