Walz Shredded For Spending $430,000 For ‘Debate Prep’

Republican state lawmakers in Minnesota have sharply criticized Governor Tim Walz after it was revealed he spent $430,000 of taxpayer money preparing for a House congressional hearing investigating blue state governors’ “sanctuary city” policies.

Invoices obtained by the Star Tribune show that Walz’s office hired the prominent global law firm K&L Gates to assist with preparations for his mid-June testimony before the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee, which focused on questions about his and other blue state governors’ sanctuary city policies.

In May alone, Walz incurred approximately $232,000 in legal fees, with an average hourly rate of about $516, according to the invoices obtained by the Star Tribune.

The outlet further reported that K&L Gates worked with Walz’s office from April 10 through the June 12 hearing, with the legal preparation costing taxpayers a total of $430,000.
