Governor Walz has increased oversight and launched investigations into Minnesota daycare centers amid allegations of $240 million fraud involving state and federal funds, officials said.

- The issue ties into broader probes that found federal prosecutors charged individuals billing state agencies for services never provided, and investigators exposed sham vendors, shell companies, and money laundering linked to the Feeding Our Future network.
