The Feeding Our Future trial that Scott Johmson has been covering for weeks reached a guilty verdict yesterday. USA Today reports,
Feeding Our Future leader convicted in $250M scheme that exploited child nutrition program.
The New York Times quotes a slightly different dollar amount in its coverage. Long Island’s Newsday, among other outlets across America, carried the Associated Press (AP) story on the verdict.
Meanwhile, we had a state senator resign in disgrace today after shocking criminal charges were filed, and it wasn’t even the state senator accused of felony burglary. What’s in the water of those 10,000 lakes?
But as Scott discusses today, it’s Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz making the international headlines. From the U.K.’s Daily Mail,
Musk eviscerates Tim Walz with savage clapback after failed VP candidate dissed Tesla
Apparently, Walz has been going around America in his much-covered Town Hall Tour celebrating the recent decline in Tesla’s stock price. As of today, Tesla stock (ticker: TSLA) is down some 38 percent, year-to-date.
Regardless of how you feel about Elon Musk, Tesla is a major American corporation that supports jobs in Walz’s home state. As national Fox News reporter Bill Melugin pointed out on Twitter (X) yesterday, Minnesota’s pension fund owns millions of shares of stock in Musk’s car company.
But anything to score a cheap political point, I guess.
To bring us back to full circle, the Feeding Our Future scandal occurred from April 2020 until January 2022, entirely under the watch of Tim Walz and his MN Dept. of Education. But it took the intervention of the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice to put a stop to the scandal and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Over the years, Walz has said little about Feeding Our Future or the dozens of other fraud scandals that have occurred under his leadership. And with good reason.
I usually post about these national and international stories under the caption, “Producing more news than can be consumed locally,” paraphrasing a Churchill quote about the Balkans. The caption promises to be evergreen.
It seems, Fred, that Minnesota is an entity unto itself, with its own quirks and predispositions. I hope the decent people of that state come to their senses.
