News Release
Gillman statement on latest Feeding Our Future arrest St. Paul – Representative Dawn Gillman, R-Dassel, released the following statement regarding the latest arrest related to the Feeding Our Future fraud scandal. "The latest arrest related to Feeding Our Future shows that the legislature and the Governor need to step up big time – we need to take real steps to root out fraud and ensure accountability for those who enable it," said Gillman. "The woman arrested this week has been involved in MDH-licensed businesses for nearly 20 years. House Democrats had the opportunity to stop fraud like this in its tracks by passing a bill for an independent OIG on the last night of session. It passed the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support, but instead of joining House Republicans to send it to the Governor, Democrats locked arms against it. I look forward to working with the Human Services Working Group to create more guardrails around program integrity during special session." ### |
