Well, I did hear someone say recently that correlation does not prove causation.
Yeah, I have said that, too.
Someone else once said "Trust, but verify.", too.
So verify, and verify the people doing the verification.
Right now, an avenue for billions of dollars of taxpayer money to be stolen through fraud has been identified.
It would be prudent to ensure that that pattern of looting is not being repeated in other places and communities, especially since the entities being funded through fraud have been tied in with political contributions in the Minnesota cases.
It's the M.O. that demands safeguards be taken, and anomalous appearing situations be checked out, regardless of location or demographics.
