My Solutions to Prevent This Conduct Up There in Minnesota
1. Establish Uniform Oversight Standards Across All Communities
- Problem Addressed: Unequal scrutiny, where Somali organizations benefit from leniency while Black and Hispanic groups face stricter audits.
- Solution: Mandate standardized vetting and auditing procedures for all community organizations receiving public funds. Oversight must be applied consistently, regardless of racial or cultural sensitivities, to prevent fragility from distorting accountability.
- Impact: This ensures fairness, reduces perceptions of favoritism, and closes loopholes that enable fraud.
2. Train Oversight Officials to Confront Fragility Without Fear
