I would vote to let counties and municipalities opt out of unfunded mandates, reset and audit all NGOs and nonprofits, and stop the state from passing costs to taxpayers. I also support expanding Homestead Market Value Exclusion qualifications and capping the property tax rate so Minnesotans can plan for the future instead of fearing the next levy spike. Learn more
We need to invest in modern analytics to flag anomalies like multiple providers at one address, impossible meal counts, or claims without GPS verification. Require photo/video geofencing proof for in-home services, meals, and housing visits, etc. The result would shift from "pay and chase" to prevention. We need mandatory background checks, financial audits, and bonding for anyone handling 100K plus third-party verification of every new enrollment. Expand whistleblower rewards to 10–20% of recovered funds with protections from retaliation. These are just a handful of initial solutions that can help prevent fraud. Learn more
