Minnesota Senate Republicans have rolled out a comprehensive plan consisting of eight bills to hold government accountable and stop waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayers’ dollars. The plan is part of the group’s Minnesota First agenda for the 2025 legislative session.
Said District 21 Sen. Bill Weber, a Luverne Republican, in a press release: “Minnesotans expect their government to be responsible stewards of their taxpayer dollars. The loss of over $500 million to waste, fraud, and abuse is unacceptable. This must end, and Senate Republicans are committed to holding government accountable.”
The proposed bills address various issues, including empowering the nonpartisan Office of the Legislative Auditor and creating a state Office of Inspector General. They also propose a state grants administrator, a central grant system, increased oversight of grant recipients, and additional accountability, training requirements, and whistleblower protections for state employees.
