Community is our best defense against heat. If you know someone who’s older, lives alone, or has health issues, it’s important to check they have all the cooling resources they need. #StayCoolMN Learn about different ways to keep others safe at mn.gov/heat

We’ve sought a top-to-bottom change in state government to create stronger oversight, leverage outside experts, modernize technology, and hold criminals accountable. startribune.com/mn-fraud-sca…

Gov. Walz: We take fraud seriously. Here’s what we’re doing to stop it.

We have replaced key leaders and people have gone to jail, but there’s still more to do, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz writes.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.   It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Minnesotans rightly have no tolerance for misuse of taxpayer dollars.   I just signed an executive order creating a centralized state fraud investigations unit and rolled out a plan to create better detection, tighter controls, and tougher criminal penalties against fraud.

We just announced $6 million to help keep Minnesotans in their homes as they age.   Living at home provides people with identity, comfort, and community. We’re working to make life easier for Minnesotans no matter what stage of life they’re in.

With universal school meals, we implemented a nation-leading effort to ensure no kid goes hungry. That shouldn’t stop when school’s out.   We provided groceries to 456,000 children this summer as the first state to commit to USDA’s summer meals program. kttc.com/video/2024/09/12/mi…

We’re going to bat to save Minnesota families money, and that starts with expanding access to child care. Today, I announced $6 million in child care grants – the largest-ever round – to create over 2,200 child care slots across the state.
