ST. PAUL, Minn. – A new report shows some Department of Human Services employees backdated or created documentation during an audit of behavioral health grants.
Office of Legislative Auditor Judy Randall says her staff found what appeared to be an attempt to fabricate documents that didn’t previously exist. The audit found pervasive and continued issues in the management of hundreds of millions of dollars in grants. The audit focused on grants for mental health and substance use disorders.
House Speaker, Republican Lisa Demuth, said “This proves once again that those running our program expect no repercussions or accountability from Governor Walz or the Democrats in power.”
Democratic Senator Melissa Wiklund, Chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, said the Senate has worked hard to allocate resources carefully given to Minnesotans’ urgent and significant needs.
