 In Minnesota, 98 mayors from across the state have signed a letter to Governor Tim Walz and lawmakers, warning that state fiscal policies are shifting costs onto cities, straining local budgets and residents, according to Fox News and KAALTV reports. This comes amid a federal probe by the House Oversight Committee into alleged widespread fraud in state social services programs under Walz's administration, with Chairman James Comer expanding the investigation to include potential cover-ups and whistleblower retaliation. The state legislature remains adjourned until February 17, 2026, per the official legislative calendar, leaving local governments to navigate these pressures.
