Senator Bill Cassidy is officially expanding his investigation into potential child care fraud, moving beyond Minnesota and setting his sights on New York, Michigan, and Oregon. This isn’t just a minor blip; we’re talking about serious issues with how our taxpayer dollars are being used in crucial assistance programs.
According to Fox News, Senator Cassidy, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, initially launched his inquiry into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. He was looking for receipts and accountability regarding a whole mess of child care-related grants and federal funding that were at the heart of a major fraud scandal in that state. Now, it seems like that investigation was just the tip of the iceberg.
