Dear Reader,

Minnesota is now the center of a major pandemic-era welfare-fraud investigation that has outraged taxpayers nationwide. Much of the alleged fraud involved Somali-led nonprofits, which has turned the case into a highly charged debate over eligibility, oversight, and political reluctance to act on early warnings. Critics argue that state officials hesitated because they feared accusations of discrimination, while some of those charged have claimed they are being targeted unfairly. This poll asks for your opinion on the deeper causes and accountability issues behind the scandal. 

The results will be featured in an article published this Saturday.
