There’s a huge population of Seniors, Homeless, Disadvantaged folk who could have actually HAD FOOD TO EAT … beyond angry. Prosecute the GULTY GREEDY CRIMINALS to the fullest extent of the LAW.

I hope they throw the book at all of them! It’s horrible and unconscionable!

[westernhemisphere]

This is a national disgrace. Where is the oversight? Children being hungry is something that haunts me and keeps me awake at night. I can't stand the thought of it. I hope everyone is as outraged as I am. Everybody involved in this scheme needs prison time, and if they don't get it that will prove that nobody really cares.

The suspects' lawyer said that if the govt produced evidence of his clients' crimes, they will take responsibility. It's very telling that he didn't deny that his clients are guilty.

These people who are charging this man "NEED TO BE FIRED AND JAILED THIS TROOPER DID HIS JOB!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!

[PlaneBelief]

Where was the oversight when handing out the money to ensure this kinda thing didn’t happen?

[hollydugal]

How about the day care fraud. They don’t ever talk about that anymore. I hope that gets addressed again. Out governor, our mayor, our attorney general and city council are all a bunch of crooks. They knew that this was going on and they did absolutely nothing. This is just the beginning. This stuff is going to get uglier. I think we’re going to have a civil war, if this stuff keeps going on.

Sounds like just another day in the life of a Washington DC politician.

[Hope-ffxd]

Fire and jail them... no benefits, pensions, etc. They should pay back what they stole.

[germanshepherd]

Arrest Keith elision! He received kickbacks too!

[TheAviam]

There should be a special investigative group investigating everyone from the top down, starting with those benefiting from Covid. Start with big pharma, politicians, corporations and Down. I like watching American greed documentaries. Lets see new episodes

[dustdevilz]

Kickbacks? does that mean that these people work in government?

[devinlent]

This is why regulations are important imagine if we got rid of them all, people never would have known about this.

[rickdekard]

The Somalis have been ripping this state off for yrs

[exuberant]

SHAMEFUL!!

Of course, these have no shame, guilt.

These are rabid.

If you add up all the money that these guys stole it does not add up to 250 million. There was alot more money that was missing than what these guys stole. I think these guys were the scape goat.

[pgpc]

Boycott the restaurants that participated!

[jamesnash]

So... How could these businesses claim ignorance? Isn't it your job, as a business owner, to know every aspect of your business?

[debbieclark]

It's disgusting what they did. Jail is too good for them, kick them out .

[what]

I cant understand how 47 people somehow got together and agreed to this plan? How could there not have been one honest person among that gang?
Is it the weather the water the boredom in Minnesota?
