Rep Emily Randall (D-WA) said taxpayers should ignore the data alleging fraud and instead focus on investigating US citizens, especially “white men.”
As independent journalists and citizen watchdogs continue raising alarms about possible “Minnesota-style” daycare fraud in Washington, the State Auditor’s Office is now finalizing an audit of a $770 million child care subsidy program run by the Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), an audit that began before the recent fraud allegations went viral, that reportedly shows millions of dollars in overpayments.
According to KOMO News, the audit includes payments to more than 7,400 child care providers statewide, offering the most comprehensive look yet at how subsidy funds have been distributed and tracked.
DCYF provided the outlet a link to records showing 1,372 overpayments totaling $2,092,513 between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025. The report attributes many of those overpayments to missing attendance records and overbilled hours or days. 265 overpayments were tied to a lack of attendance records, and roughly 21 percent were linked to overbilled hours or days, highlighting recurring weaknesses in documentation and verification.
The Office of Fraud and Accountability (OFA) reported that in fiscal year 2025, its efforts resulted in one criminal conviction of consumers and zero providers for child care fraud, with restitution set at $20,474. In cases that don’t meet the threshold for prosecution, OFA said it writes overpayments on DCYF’s behalf and submits them for recovery.

This auditor is obviously a white supremacist for not supporting fraud and theft of millions of taxpayer dollars.
And now you know how the Democrats finance election fraud.
Her Jedi mind tricks won't work on me. I'm pretty sure that these ARE the droids I'm looking for.
More day cares than children ? LOL

Makes me think of this scene from “The General Flipped at Dawn”:
Maj. Gen. Bartford Hamilton Steele: You’re insubordinate!
Capt. Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce: Right!
Maj. Gen. Bartford Hamilton Steele: You’re insolent!
Capt. Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce: Right! And you’re nuts!

Tampon Tim is white. Start with him.
If democrats are anywhere near money you’ll have fraud ,LOL
Those who are ripping off the system ARE the system. They are completely in charge.
It’s pretty obvious now that this whole thing is where the rat funding has been coming from.
“If democrats are anywhere near money you’ll have fraud ,LOL”
That’s true. Leftists are just a different type of people. They have no conscience, no borders, and no respect for the life or property of other people. To them, tax dollars are just “free” money that was left around for the taking.
If any politician is anywhere near money you’ll have fraud.
Been saying it for years....The fraud in government is widespread. In most states the people at the state, county and city level governments have been economically gang raping the taxpayers. Influence peddling, kickbacks, bribes, tax schemes, etc. Those in government and their agencies have become de facto one big crime scene.
Yup. Great comment. Also love your tag line.
Yep..... the taxpayers.... whether we like it or not.
