Two of the nearly 100 Minnesota mayors demanding answers about the state’s unfolding fraud crisis described a climate of relentless uncertainty that has left some constituents "scared" about what lies ahead.
"My community is reaching out to me because they're not getting answers from DHS, from other legislators, and they're scared. There's so much unknown… and, as a mayor, we are the front line. We try to help them," South St. Paul Mayor Jimmy Francis said on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday.
So far, that help has involved putting concerned constituents in contact with county officials to find the answers they seek.
"Those that are receiving those benefits are really scared and frightened of what's next because they don't know," he added.
The scandal dates back to at least 2020 and involves fraudulent billing for a wide range of government services. It largely involves, but is not limited to, the state's Somali community.
Crosslake, Minnesota, Mayor Jackson Purfeerst spearheaded a letter co-signed by nearly 100 mayors to Gov. Tim Walz and other state officials on Monday, expressing deep concerns over the development.
"Fraud, unchecked spending and inconsistent fiscal management in St. Paul have trickled down to our cities. … Our state owes it to our citizens to practice responsible fiscal management and to stop taxing our families, seniors and businesses out of Minnesota," the letter reads in part.
Purfeerst said the number of mayors signing on to the letter is growing and stressed the extent of the crisis afflicting Minnesotans.

A new line of questioning just opened up - how is it that illegal aliens get 'benefits'?
They’re “scared”? Nah...pissed is more like it.
Does the “crisis” stem from the realization that one is being ruled by criminals?
THe Mayors do not know that they are in the midst of a war....demographic warfare waged on their own citizens by Tampon Tim.
So what happens when municipalities are victims of warfare ? THey need to recall theoir governor and indict him, for starters.
“Those that are receiving those benefits are really scared and frightened of what’s next because they don’t know,” he added.
As usual they are worried about the freeloaders. They’re scared their bennies will get cut off because of all the fraud. Screw the taxpayers paying for all of it.
Scared they will no longer illegally get money from the American taxpayers??
Socialism will survive with flying colors, one way or the other, in socialist MN, where voters never met a liberal program they opposed.
> how is it that illegal aliens get ‘benefits’?<
These aren’t illegal aliens. They are Obama’s refuges that he brought here to disrupt the democracy. The real question is “How are they allowed to stay if they are public charges and criminal frauds?”
EC
They have the support of Congress; so they are safely here.
You misspelled mercenaries.
“This is clearly a coordinated political attack to try to silence one of the President’s most effective critics. The Governor takes fraud seriously and wishes they would too.” 😂
A long plane ride.
These small towns in Minnesota are overwhelmingly conservative they suffer from the liberal voting & immigrant Scams of Minneapolis, Saint Cloud, & even Duluth
Notice how the MSM (including FOX) libtards never mention that the DNC picked Tampon Tim as the VP candidate?
MN, possibly the dumbest voting block in the history of the republic.

MN has always been a little "off."
Thttps://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4358919/postshe MN map looks like the US map, a large red field with small blue dots. These mayors represent the large red field.
The blue dots are the hellholes ruled by the communist DFL. They hold the power, due to vast numbers of bloodsuckers and vote fraud.
Not sure how that link got inserted into my post, my apologies.
They’re “scared”? Nah...pissed is more like it.
