Gov. Tim Walz’s ‘Reforms’ Put Minnesota’s At-Risk Children in Even Greater Peril.

You have heard a lot about Tim Walz since Kamala Harris picked him as her running mate on the Democratic presidential ticket.

By now you are well aware that Gov. Walz led the charge in St. Paul aided by single-party control in the state legislature by blowing through a historic $18 billion surplus. But that wasn’t enough. Walz signed into law more than $10 billion in tax increases. Under his watch, the state budget has bloated another 40% in just the last two years. And those $2,000 rebate checks he promised two years ago on the campaign trail? Yeah, that amount dropped to about $250 for a select few, but adding insult to injury, Walz missed an important federal deadline which allowed the IRS to tax Minnesotans on their minuscule rebate checks.

He signed into law some of the most extreme abortion policy in the nation, he made Minnesota a destination state for youth seeking transgender surgeries without parental consent, and he made pedophilia a “protected class.”

Something you haven’t heard about is a new law signed by Gov. Walz called the “Minnesota African American Family Preservation and Children Welfare Disproportionality Act,” or what some call “the most radical child-welfare-reform bill in the country.”

“Inspired by activists’ complaints about racial disparities in the child-welfare system, the new law makes it harder to remove black or other “disproportionately represented” children from homes where they may have been neglected or abused. While supporters have argued that the law supports children’s welfare, in reality, it keeps black and minority kids in unsafe environments in the name of racial equity.”
