The Ohio Fraud Story that Just Won’t Go Away

The Somalian community childcare, health care/transportation and other government services fraud is a story that just won’t go away. It is percolating under the surface like a ticking time bomb.

After the independent journalists’ reports on the Minneapolis massive fraud in the Somalian community of Greater Minneapolis by Nick Shirley, attention quickly turned to the second-largest Somalian community in America, Columbus, Ohio.

Quickly, independent investigative journalists began knocking on doors and doing a search of addresses where money from state government was sent for the purposes of childcare, health care, and transportation services. The shocking reports revealed that these were empty offices. The childcare facilities had few or no children coming or going, and yet these entities received hundreds of thousands, and in some cases, millions of dollars from state and federal government.

This did not escape the attention of some state officials who began doing their own investigations into the allegations and whistleblower reports. State Auditor Keith Faber and his staff are working to secure more records for review. State Attorney General Dave Yost stood in a press conference with State Rep. Josh Williams, supporting legislation that would grant more overseeing authority of these programs by the state legislature and State Auditor’s office. Forty-two House members co-signed the legislation.

One has to wonder, where is this all going? It is obviously a story that is not going away, as more information comes to light. A word of warning to those in government who are hiding the truth and that are culpable – to hide a crime is a crime. Thank you for listening to News in Focus.

Tune in and listen as Bill Federer gives the history of the man we know as our first President, George Washington, and our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, who saved the Union and ended slavery.
