Minnesota law is clear: public data belongs to the public. But there are growing concerns that DHS redactions may be used not just for privacy protection—but to shield system failures and internal inefficiencies. We need clarity. #MNLeg #DataPractices DHS: Can you publicly release the exact redaction rules, internal guidance, and decision-making criteria you use when responding to data requests? Chapter 13 requires justification for every redaction. The public deserves to see the standards being applied. Redaction must follow statute—not convenience. Over-redaction to hide program errors, financial gaps, or operational missteps would violate the law and undermine public trust. Transparency isn’t optional. It’s a legal obligation. Another concern: indefinite delays on routine data requests. Some requests sit for months with no timeline, no explanation, and no progress updates. Under Minnesota law, agencies must respond promptly and provide data as soon as reasonably possible.

Minnesota’s Medicaid henhouse is getting audited by the fox. A $2.3 million “high-risk services” deal between DHS and Optum is floating in the dark. The campaign statement was real. The contract? Hidden. Next move: FOIA it. Pull the receipts. Expose the paper trail. Transparency isn’t optional when public money’s on the line. #Minnesota #Medicaid #Optum #Accountability #FOIA #Transparency #InvestigateMN #PublicRecords #DataPractices #FollowTheMoney #MNPolitics #UnitedHealth

After the Jim Noble revelation, Minnesotans deserve answers. Will DHS release all emails, Teams chats & meeting minutes between DHS, legislative leaders, Matt Burdick, and Kristy Graume? #MNLeg #Transparency #Accountability We’ve seen messages from Kristy Graume stating her disdain for Republicans. That’s not just politics — it raises serious concerns about neutrality inside DHS policy work. Time for sunlight. ☀️ #MNGov #MNPolitics Can Gary Johnson retrieve years of DHS documents — or were they deleted under his own retention policy and only kept for the people who are not “liked” What’s being hidden from Minnesotans? 👀 #DataPractices #MNLeg This is a public data issue, not partisanship. Release the records. Restore trust. @MNManagementBudget @OmbudsMN — transparency begins here. #JimNobleRevelation #MNTransparency #AuditTheAid
