Tim Walz’s school lunch fiasco got scammed for $250 million right under his nose

Before Gov. Tim Walz becomes vice president, we should discuss the massive school lunch fraud that occurred under his administration. The $250 million disaster led to 5 convictions.

The report shows that MDE suffers the same affliction as all the overwrought government agencies I oversee: diffuse decision-making that obscures accountability. As chairwoman of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, I am all too familiar with education bureaucracies like the MDE enabling the misuse of taxpayer dollars.  Rep. Virginia Foxx is a Republican representing North Carolina’s 5th District. She is the chairwoman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce and a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

The truth is that Walz’s history of providing meals to hungry children isn’t about feeding them at all. Beginning in 2020, Walz allowed a fraud of massive proportions that exploited a taxpayer-funded child nutrition program during the pandemic. Some even called it the "greatest grift in U.S. history."
