Work Order — Minnesota Taxpayers

FILE NO. CD3-FRAUD-2026

 
FRAUD ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN FOR MINNESOTA'S 3RD DISTRICT

MINNESOTA USED TO BE KNOWN FOR THE TWINS, THE WOLVES, THE VIKINGS AND THE LYNX. NOW WE’RE KNOWN FOR FRAUD. 

Nearly a billion dollars has walked out the door of Minnesota’s autism, disability, and adult day-care programs — while the people running those programs collect government checks the size of a small business loan, with none of the accountability a real loan would require. Kelly Morrison hasn’t offered a plan. I have.

MORRISON: NO PLAN
BASS : RESOLUTION ATTACHED
The Problem

Kelly Morrison has gone silent on Minnesota fraud

Minnesota has become a national case study in taxpayer-funded fraud — fake autism centers, ghost day-care rosters, “nonprofits” run like personal ATMs. It’s happening in CD3, in our own backyard. And the sitting congresswoman for this district has offered exactly one thing: silence.

I’ve knocked on doors across this district. I’ve asked voters directly: what has Kelly Morrison said about fixing the fraud? The answer is always the same — nothing. No press release. No bill. No town hall dedicated to it. No plan for what she would actually do in Washington to shut off the federal pipeline that keeps funding it.

What Morrison has offered

  • No proposed legislation addressing Minnesota’s Medicaid/DHS fraud crisis
  • No public accountability plan for CD3 providers under investigation
  • No answer for constituents asking where their tax dollars are going

What voters actually need

  • Underwriting standards before a dollar of taxpayer money goes out
  • A resolution tying funding to years of proven, profitable operation
  • An investigative team with teeth, working CD3 cases directly
Why I Understand This

I BUILT A BUSINESS HELPING KIDS AND ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS -- WITHOUT AKING A DIME OF TAXPAYER MONEY

For years I ran At Home Fitness, a program built for kids who came home from school and sat on the couch. Parents hired me directly to run their children through structured, accountable workout programs — something like a Big Brother Big Sister model, but built around fitness and consistency. I worked with kids and adults on Developmental Disability (DD) waivers, and I was paid through providers like ACCRA in Minnesota for that work.

I built that business the way any small business owner has to: I ran Google ads, built a business listing so people could actually find me, and reinvested every dollar I brought in back into marketing and keeping the lights on. If I didn’t perform, I didn’t get paid. If I didn’t bring in customers, there was no fallback check waiting for me at the end of the month.

That’s the difference. I didn’t get a grant. I earned it, contract by contract, family by family, two years at a time — and I learned exactly what it takes to run a business that serves this population honestly. That experience is exactly why I know how to spot the ones that aren’t.

The Resolution

MY PLAN: TREAT TAXPAYER FUDNING LIKE A BUSINESS LOAN, NOT A BLANK CHECK

This isn’t complicated. It’s how every small business owner in CD3 already has to operate. If you want to run a program serving kids or adults with special needs and receive federal or state dollars to do it, you should have to prove you can run it — the same way a bank makes you prove it before handing you a loan.

01

TWO YEARS OF TAX RETURNS OR TWO YEARS OF PROVEN OPERATION.

  1. Before any organization receives taxpayer funding, it must show two years of tax returns demonstrating it can run the business at a profit — or two years of documented, self-funded operation actually serving the population it claims to serve. No returns, no track record, no funding.

02

FULL UNDERWRITING JUST LIKE A LOAN

  1. Credit history, a real physical location, an actual customer or client roster — verified, not self-reported. If a bank wouldn’t lend you the money on these numbers, the taxpayers shouldn’t either.

03

FUNDING CAPPED TO MATCH REAL, VERIFIED REVENUE

  1. No more organizations pulling in $1.2 million a year with a padded $1.3 million “expense budget” built to manufacture a loss. Funding should scale with what an organization has actually and verifiably earned — not what it claims it needs.

04

SURPRISE SITE VISITS, EVERY TIME

  1. If a program is billing for children or adults who are supposedly on-site, there need to be kids and adults on-site when an inspector walks in. Not an empty building. Not a locked office. Not a excuse.

05

A DEDICATED FRAUD INVESTIAGTION TEAM FOR CD3 UNDER MY WATCH

  1. I will build a team focused specifically on this district — working with MN DHS’s Office of Inspector General and the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit — to identify providers who are billing for services they aren’t delivering, and refer them for enforcement.

Meanwhile, In Washington

Kelly Morrison's own record raises the exact same questions

While Minnesota families wait for a plan on fraud, here’s what the public record shows about the person currently representing this district:

PERSONAL NET WORTH

SARONIC TECHNLOGIES STAKE

Morrison purchased an ownership stake in a defense contractor building autonomous naval attack vessels — a trade a government watchdog called a “pretty clear conflict of interest” for a sitting member of Congress with influence over defense-related votes.

VOTED AGAINST THE LAKEN RILEY ACT

After scrutiny from the Minnesota Star Tribune, Morrison announced she would divest her individual stock holdings. That’s a step. It’s not a fraud plan for CD3 — and it doesn’t answer the question families in this district are actually asking: what is she doing to stop taxpayer money from being stolen right here at home?

The Investigation

MY TEAM WILL INVESTIGATE THE FRAUD IN CD3 DIRECTLY

This isn’t a talking point. It’s a commitment. My team of fraud investigators will work CD3 cases the same way I ran my own business — checking the paperwork, checking the location, and checking whether the people who are supposed to be getting help are actually there.

 

RECORDS & FILINGS

Pulling licensing records, MGDPA data requests, and DHS filings on CD3 providers to flag mismatches between what’s billed and what’s delivered.

BOOTS ON THE GROUND

Unannounced visits to programs receiving taxpayer funds — the same way any customer or inspector should be able to walk in and see the service actually happening.

 

DIRECT REERRALS

Unannounced visits to programs receiving taxpayer funds — the same way any customer or inspector should be able to walk in and see the service actually happening.

 

MINNESOTA DESERVES A CONGRESSMAN WHO'S ACTUALLY RUN A BUSINESS -- NOT ONE WHO'S SILENT ON WHERE YOUR TAX DOLLARS GO.

I built companies from nothing. I know what it takes to earn a dollar honestly. In Congress, I’ll make sure taxpayer money is earned the same way — or it doesn’t go out the door.
