ST. PAUL, Minn. – Gov. Tim Walz is making changes at the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
Moving forward, the governor says John Connolly will serve as the temporary commissioner of DHS with Shireen Gandhi now moving to deputy commissioner. This is a reversal of positions, and it happened the day before Gandhi was to have confirmation hearings.
Walz says the changes will ensure stability and continue to strengthen oversight.
Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth responded by saying, “Gov. Walz proves once again that fraud is free to continue under his leadership. Recycling the same failed staff will not root out fraud – only wholesale change will.”
