Minnesota day care centers operate amid CCAP probe; safety violations, overlapping ownership draw political scrutiny
Revoked Minnesota day care licenses continue operating; CCAP funding and safety violations prompted state investigations, political fallout, and a House Oversight hearing scheduled Feb. 10
Overview
Newsmax reporter Joe Moeller found a Minneapolis day care operating despite a license revoked over five years ago, with multiple centers sharing a Lake Avenue building.
Investigations cite safety issues and improper documentation; all day care centers in the Lake Avenue building received violation citations over the past five years, and Intisar lost its license in 2021.
Records show overlapping ownership and operation among various day care and healthcare businesses; a government-funded center with multiple entrances and no signage had numerous violations.
Governor Walz announced he will not seek reelection amid a fraud investigation into state child care programs; GOP lawmakers and media reports have raised concerns about alleged misuse of funds.
House Oversight Chair James Comer summoned Governor Walz for a Feb. 10 hearing; the committee will hear testimony from Minnesota Republican lawmakers investigating alleged public assistance and Medicaid fraud.
