Stephen Green at PJ Media reports on something extraordinary. In 2017, Minnesota had figured out another way to siphon money from American taxpayers and passed a law authorizing a Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program, which program went into effect in 2020 once approval had been obtained from the Federal government. As Green relates, "HSS was one of those innocuous-sounding and ostensibly well-meaning programs purportedly meant to, as the Minnesota Prairie County Alliance put it, 'help people with disabilities, including mental illness and substance use disorder, and seniors find and keep housing.'" This, as we've learned through sad experience, is just Lefty speak for fraud and embezzlement. And sure enough, the program which in 2020 was estimated would only cost $2.5 million had ballooned to over $100 million by 2024.
But a local news affiliate--KARE 11--began investigating the program "ultimately uncovering widespread fraud that included questionable billing, bribes, falsifying of records, and even billing for dead clients."
The state that threw untold millions of education dollars at Somali-run "Learing Centers" also saw a greater than 40-fold increase in Medicare money at a housing program that "led to several criminal indictments of accused fraudsters, including two Philadelphia men who pleaded guilty to starting businesses in the state and enrolling in the program because it seemed like a 'good opportunity to make money.'"
But here is the weird part:
"Minnesota House unanimously passes bill to remove Housing Stabilization Services from state statute." Similar legislation is moving forward in the state senate, and Walz is expected to sign it.
As Green comments, "[i]t's probably safe to assume that the real motivation is to forestall any investigation into who got what out of all those defrauded millions."
