Tiffany Demands Investigation into Potential WI Fraud
Tom Tiffany is demanding answers from Gov. Tony Evers to make sure there is no Minnesota-style fraud happening in Wisconsin.
Tiffany, who is currently the northwoods’ congressman and is also running for governor as a Republican, took to X Monday to blast Evers.
“With billions in fraud exposed in Minnesota, remember this:
-Wisconsin Democrats are BLOCKING audits of our food stamp rolls.
-They’re also BLOCKING fraud reviews of our voter rolls," he wrote on X.
"As governor, I will root out fraud and deliver full transparency to the people of Wisconsin."
Gov. Evers has refused to share food stamp enrollment data with the Trump Administration, and Wisconsin is currently part of a federal lawsuit over that information.
Tiffany said Gov. Evers needs to be clear, and show the taxpayers of Wisconsin that there is no widespread fraud in any of the state’s public benefit programs.
"Even as massive fraud is exposed in Minnesota, [Gov. Evers] still refuses to release Wisconsin’s food stamp rolls for a fraud audit," Tiffany added. "He claims everything is 'just fine.' It’s not 'just fine' if taxpayer dollars are being misused."
The Trump Administration has launched an investigation into what could be an $8 billion food stamp and public benefit fraud case in Minnesota. There are also new questions about phantom daycare centers in Minnesota that took taxpayer money, but never cared for kids.
“You deserve transparency and accountability. I will root out waste and make sure Minnesota-style fraud never takes root in Wisconsin,” Tiffany added.
Evers is not running for governor again, at least a half-dozen high-profile Democrats are looking to replace him.
Tiffany has a Republican opponent as well. Washington County Executive Josh Schoemann is also running on the GOP side.
