And here we go again. More fraud, waste, and abuse. No internal controls and nobody should be shocked that the administration had no answers.
One daycare center, Quality Learning Center Daycare, had 95 violations between 2019 and 2023, according to DHS records. Those violations range from “failure to keep hazardous items away from children” to “no records for 16 children.” In 2022, DHS placed... kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/…

“Nothing to see here. It’s fine, it’s all fine!”
When the margin of victory is less than the number of ballots “lost” there should be a special election paid for by the county that screwed up

My email to MN MMB Commissioner Erin Campbell in response to the training document brought to my attention tonight. Your tax dollars are being spent to train MN workers that Republicans are white supremacists and perpetuate “Christian Hegemony” we will have the commish in to talk

For those trying to find conspiracy or criticism about Gus Walz and who he is, please stop. There is so much material to criticize Tim Walz on that you could have hours of conversation. LEAVE HIS SON OUT OF THE DEBATE.

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

Sad night in Minnesota. A 28 year old Minneapolis Police Officer was killed in the line of duty. Another officer was shot and injured in the line of duty as well
Pray for his family and the fallen officer and his wounded partner.

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.
House Republicans are taking waste, fraud, and abuse seriously. WATCH @JimNashMN lay out how HF3 puts your tax dollars first.👇

$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/…

I’m honored to have been elected by my colleagues to serve our caucus as the GOP Whip for the next two years.
In a “67-67 tied legislature” it’s going to be a fast paced and busy time at the Capitol.
I look forward to the task ahead as we head back in January

I guess notable “firsts” are only covered by the Star Tribune if you have “DFL” after your name?
This is a good article to read
@LisaDemuthMN is such an amazing leader and I can’t imagine why the @StarTribune has been dismissive on her as Speaker.

I don’t shock easily, but this one actually shocked me sadly. We need more scrutiny, greater controls on spending, and we can’t allow Gov Walz and the DFL to deflect their culpability on these scandals. minnesotareformer.com/2024/0…

America is learning more about @Tim_Walz every day. I was pleased to share some of my experiences and perspectives on him as a MN State Rep and VOP Whip who has watched him become a progressive outlier. He’s not really the moderate he’s portrayed as.

A certain Rep should take the advice he gave the Governor and “acquire some testicular fortitude” and just release his real address, the video, and then if it’s true that he didn’t/doesn’t live in the district resign and let someone who abides by laws run for that seat.

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.

In calling for Sen Mitchell’s resignation now is an admission that she shouldn’t have been voting in a 1 seat majority Senate. The initial statement was “let due process happen”. Now it’s “she needs to go! But thanks for the votes Nicole!” Not shocked are you?

This weekend, be mindful that we remember and honor those who have died in the line of duty.

A tweet sent to my colleague and senator Julia Coleman by a complete ass hat. It doesn’t matter if she’s pregnant, and the person saying this is myopic beyond words. Sen. Coleman has hit the ground running and is doing the job well. Women deserve better than this. I’m with Julia
"Congratulations on your pregnancy. You lacked transparency and hid this from the voters when you were running. And now instead of working you'll be on parental leave."
