Then came the fraud. Feeding Our Future—a roughly $250 million theft from a child-nutrition program—wasn’t an accounting error. It was a historic failure of governance. Under Mr. Walz, warnings were missed, ignored or inadequately acted on. Minnesota’s nonpartisan auditor found the state Education Department’s oversight of the program inadequate.
The U.S. Treasury said Minnesota’s child-nutrition fraud alone could exceed $300 million. Investigators uncovered suspected fraud across other state programs, including autism services, housing aid and Medicaid. Minnesota’s then-acting U.S. attorney, Joe Thompson, lamented that “our state is far and away the leader in fraud now and everyone sees it.” Mr. Thompson would later estimate that the state’s total fraud could surpass $9 billion.
Mr. Walz’s economic record completes the picture. Since 2018, Minnesota’s nonfarm jobs have grown 2.8% against 7% nationally. The state imposes the seventh-heaviest state and local tax burden in the country. In 2023, handed one-party control and a projected surplus of more than $17 billion, Mr. Walz and the Legislature spent it all—and more. Forecasts projected a deficit approaching $6 billion before a newly split legislature began clawing the budget back toward sanity.
I’m a Minnesota business leader who believes deeply in this state. Minnesota’s private sector remains extraordinary: brilliant entrepreneurs, disciplined family businesses, innovative medical and technology companies, farmers who feed the world. The real Minnesota isn’t what has been showcased on TV and social media.
That Minnesota deserves better than Tim Walz. The national left liked him because he embodied an archetype: the folksy, flannel-wearing schoolteacher......
