Walz on fraud: “I am accountable for this, and more importantly, I am the one that will fix it.”

ST. PAUL, Minn. (GRAY) – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz weighed in on recent developments in state fraud investigations at an unrelated event Friday morning.

The governor, in his remarks, shouldered responsibility for the fraud that happened in Minnesota during his time as governor, and for fixing the state’s oversight measures.

“This [was] on my watch,” the governor said. “I am accountable for this, and more importantly, I am the one that will fix it.”

If the actions of the voters in Minnesota are to blame, it would make sense that the state should be required to pay back all the stolen money to the federal government.
