Another example of DHS turning a blind eye to fraud: instead of investigating kickback crimes, a new legislative auditor’s report has found DHS chose to close cases without investigation, costing Minnesotans millions of dollars.

If you watch one video today, make sure it's this one.
Chair Robbins responds to Governor Walz's plan to “Transform Minnesota’s human services system.”
"The proposal where he wants to centralize everything at DHS is a mistake."

We should be rewarding employees who speak out, not retaliating. Faye Bernstein is a brave whistleblower who testified before our fraud committee today about DHS fraud, and no one from the department even bothered to show up.

So, the Department of Human Services was “too busy” to attend today’s fraud committee hearing where a whistleblower testified, but showed up for another hearing in the same room two minutes after the fraud committee adjourned.

Representative Robbins responds to a House Democrat who said we should "study the benefits of retail theft" today:
"I'm stunned, honestly... we finally got the organized retail theft crime in statute last session. That's a tool that we need to crack down on this real problem throughout our communities around the state. "

... What? Rep Pinto (D-St. Paul): "Yesterday, there was a presentation from a group seeking to change how we address organized retail theft... It would have been good to make sure that they would study the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of using that, and maybe it's assisting them in some way. These folks were describing people violating the law, but I suppose it could be useful to look into that."

🚨 WATCH: State Rep. Kristin Robbins exposes "webs of fraud" in Minnesota
"Her child care center was shut down on Feb. 10 of 2026, just a couple weeks ago. She was caught at the airport fleeing the country. That's how they arrested her.
"The next day, Feb. 11, a new child care center -- hers was called Future Leaders Early Learning Center -- opened on the same site called Leaders Childcare Center, and it is operating right now, getting paid by our taxpayers."

Democrats are currently arguing against NO TAX ON TIPS AND OVERTIME!
Rep. Robbins responds: "I hear you. I've been fighting for broad tax reform and tax cuts that affect everyone for eight years now. Our lowest tax rate in this state is 5.35% - that is higher than the HIGHEST tax rate in 30 other states!"

Chair Robbins: "I hope the public understands this - The practice in that Anoka case was set up for the purpose of getting maximum mileage. The recruiters said 'leave your old practice, set up a new one in Anoka and we will funnel patients to you at the maximum 60 mile distance."

Chair Robbins confronts the Walz Admin about a problematic NEMT broker:
"They got more payments than they were allowed to contract for... when you were using them, they were under court order to stop for fraud in Missouri. Why have they continued to be used in this state?"

Today's House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee hearing focused on non-emergency medical transportation, a needed program for vulnerable and elderly adults in our state, but yet another one that is rife with fraud.

Chair Robbins: "24 of the QSPs that are responsible for the daily oversight of these clinics live out of state. How can they be doing their job if they're living out of state, and why have you allowed that to continue?"

Our House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee held its first hearing of the 2026 session today to discuss autism services in the state. Sadly, we heard more of the same when it comes to fraud and over-billing.
