Lawmakers are warning Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) about a high-ranking foreign government official based in Africa, who is reportedly moonlighting as the director of multiple Minnesota group homes that have, in addition to numerous other Minneapolis-area assisted living facilities he has business ties to, collectively received roughly $36 million in taxpayer funds through the state.
