Representative Bobbie Harder of Minnesota responded to recent news about Governor Tim Walz hiring outside legal counsel for a congressional hearing. According to reports, the state spent $430,000 in taxpayer funds on these services.

Harder released a statement addressing the issue: "Governor Walz’s decision to spend nearly half a million dollars of taxpayer money on outside lawyers is unacceptable. Minnesotans deserve transparency and accountability when it comes to how their tax dollars are being spent."

The expenditure has raised questions among lawmakers and members of the public regarding government spending practices.
