MN State Representative District 48A (6th term) House Republican Whip Prepared and Paid for by Jim Nash for Minnesota

And here we go again. More fraud, waste, and abuse. No internal controls and nobody should be shocked that the administration had no answers.

So you can have a concierge service to be sworn in en masse? Nothing says “legitimate” like skulking into a building to be sworn in. And for Tabke to take the oath while under review? When sneaking into the building to be sworn in did you each have a sock covered flashlight?
UPDATE: All DFL House members who had an election certificate were sworn in except Curtis Johnson. Rep. @BradTabke was sworn in tonight. He has his certificate until it is revoked. Johnson could have technically been sworn in

Today I presented and passed out of committee my bill HF3. It addresses the prevention of future Waste, Fraud, and Abuse. Oddly the DFL were opposed to the measure.

$17K/Month isn’t very Minnesotan. Gov Walz certainly needs somewhere secure but $17K/month is just outrageous
Democrats voted down an amendment that would have limited how much taxpayer money Gov. Walz can spend on rent while the Governor's Mansion undergoes renovations. He is currently slated to move into a $17,000 per month lakeside mansion.

I was joined by my fellow Republicans in opposing this irresponsible expenditure of YOUR tax dollars being used to pay legal fees for a private labor dispute.
Democrats on the Minnesota House Rules and Legislative Administration Committee approved more than $10,000 in taxpayer funds to pay for the legal fees of a member who was entangled in a dispute with her private employer. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/…

The House DFL wants to subsidize vendors who sell meals at the Capitol while the legislature is in session. That’s $55,555.55 per month of session. $276 per legislator to eat healthfully. Let the market drive offerings with incumbent vendors or simply ask them to change menus.

I was pleased that HouseGOP and I were able to bring attention to the issue of the temporary Governors residence being $17K a month. I’m glad that this new arrangement will save the taxpayers $12,500 a month and still provide the Governor a safe and useful residence.
UPDATE: @ADMN_Minnesota is negotiating a deal to have Gov. Tim Walz and family move into the University of Minnesota’s soon-vacant presidential residence while the governor’s mansion undergoes repairs. $4400/month plus utilities. U Regents to consider in special meeting Monday.
