Minnesota’s ongoing fraud cases have sparked a firestorm, and Nick Shirley’s reporting has raised questions that are impossible to ignore. But this isn’t about partisan takes or internet outrage… it’s about one simple principle:
If public money goes out, public proof should come back.
And here’s the kicker—even if only 2% of the allegations are real… what does that look like in your town? Your county? Your state? Because fraud doesn’t just happen “in Washington.” It often starts local, quietly moves through nonprofits, shell companies, vendors, and pass-through funding—and keeps flowing until citizens demand receipts.
