House Speaker Lisa Demuth [WATCH]

Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth criticized House Democrats and the Walz administration over what she described as repeated failures to strengthen fraud oversight and transparency, saying key accountability measures supported by Republicans and the state Senate have been consistently blocked.

Demuth pointed to the stalled creation of an Office of Inspector General as a central example, arguing that Democrats prevented its passage despite broad legislative backing.

She said the lack of an independent oversight office has hindered efforts to detect and stop fraud across multiple state programs.

“Last session, as you remember, House Republicans fought to pass the Office of Inspector General, which was passed with overwhelming support by the Senate,” Demuth said.

“It has support of the House Republican caucus, but was blocked every time by House Democrats.”

Citing growing public concern and heightened scrutiny following reports of alleged fraud, Demuth said House Republicans are now formally calling on the Walz administration to take a series of specific actions.

She outlined six steps she said are necessary to restore confidence and address potential misuse of taxpayer funds.

“So given the intense interest we’re calling on the walls administration to take the following steps. We have six steps that we would like to see the walls administration take,” Demuth said.

The first step, according to Demuth, is the release of documents related to fraud that have been requested by lawmakers and the media.

She referenced reporting indicating that many requests remain unanswered.

“The first would be to release the documents related to fraud that have been requested by the media and the fraud committee as well as other legislators,” she said.

“As a point of note, the Star Tribune reported many of the data requests related to potential fraud have not been released by the Walz administration, both to the media or to legislators.”

Demuth said the administration should also provide inspection records tied to locations highlighted in a widely circulated video.

“Secondly, we would like the Walz administration release any available records related to inspections of sites identified in the viral video,” she said.

She added that state agencies should shift resources toward direct enforcement rather than paperwork.

“Third, we would like the Walz administration to redirect available resources to unannounced in person site visits,” Demuth said.

Another step she outlined involves reviewing nonprofit funding distributed by state agencies.

“Next, we would like the Walz administration to conduct a full review of money directed to NGOs by state agencies that’s as basic as confirming the IRS status cross checking for connections or connections to the indicted or suspected fraudsters. And more,” she said.

Demuth also called for immediate action in programs identified as high risk.

“Next, we would like the walls administration to consider stopping payments in the other 13 high risk programs,” she said.

Her final demand focused on a lawsuit filed by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison against the federal government.

Demuth questioned why the state is attempting to block federal fraud prevention efforts instead of cooperating with them.

“And finally, Governor wall should also ask Attorney General Ellison to withdraw his lawsuit against the Feds that is seeking to stop the redetermination process being pushed for by the US Department of Agriculture,” she said. “It really begs the question of why is Attorney General Ellis and filing lawsuits against the feds, instead of working with them to root up fraud.”
