Advocates, providers warn if daycare funding is withheld, legitimate day cares won't survive
Advocates and providers are warning that if federal funding is withheld, legitimate day cares in Minnesota won't be able to survive.
INVESTIGATES did its own analysis of state records for the day cares mentioned in a recent viral video. Inspection reports for all the facilities with active licenses reveal plenty of safety violations but do not mention fraud or an absence of kids.
Prosecutors have alleged that fraud may cost Minnesota billions of dollars. The case has also become culturally fraught, as 82 of the 92 defendants charged are Somali Americans, according to the Associated Press.
