Minnesota GOP on fraud under Walz: 'Taxpayers are tired of being ripped off'

A group of Minnesota House and Senate Republicans is calling for Gov. Tim Walz to resign amid allegations of significant Medicaid fraud during his administration.

When Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth was asked if the governor should resign, she pointed to oversight failures within the administration:

"There’s almost $9 billion of suspected fraud. To have a governor in his second term that has allowed this to go on under his watch, under his administration for this long, taxpayers are fed up with this," Demuth said. "They’re frustrated, we’ve watched our state budget explode, watched our taxes and fees go up. Minnesota taxpayers across the state are done with funding fraud here in the state, that’s the frustration we are hearing."
