沃尔兹临卸任推出政绩总结网站 任期将于1月4日结束
明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹将于2027年1月4日结束八年任期。10月15日，州长办公室上线了一个总结其政府“标志性成就”的网站，距离其离任还有81天。据The Center Square报道，沃尔兹办公室列出的成就包括对教育的历史性投入、扩大堕胎与性别转换医疗的可及性、一项承诺该州2040年实现100%无碳电力的法律，以及减税、扩大投票权和住房与基础设施投资。
沃尔兹办公室在声明中说：“沃尔兹州长和弗拉纳根副州长2019年1月就职时承诺建设‘一个明尼苏达’——其愿景是：当我们跨越分歧共同努力改善所有明尼苏达人的生活时，我们的状态最好。”
报道同时指出，批评者经常质疑沃尔兹的执政记录，指出纳税人资助项目中被指广泛存在的欺诈、州支出争议和公共安全担忧。沃尔兹本周在《明星论坛报》北极星峰会上就欺诈问题表示：“是的，我本应做得更多……欺诈本应更早制止。我们没有制止他们，我接受这一点。”
Walz Touts Record as He Prepares to Leave Minnesota Governor's Office
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will leave the governor's office on January 4 after eight years in office. On October 15, with 81 days left in his term, the governor's office published a website highlighting his administration's 'signature accomplishments,' The Center Square reported. Those include what his office described as 'historic' investments in education, expanded access to abortion and gender-transition procedures, a law committing Minnesota to 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2040, tax cuts, expanded voting rights, and investments in housing and infrastructure.
'Gov. Walz and Lt. Gov. Flanagan took office in January 2019 on the promise of One Minnesota: the vision that, while we are not all the same, we are at our best when we work across lines of difference to improve the lives of all Minnesotans,' the governor's office said.
Critics have questioned Walz's record, pointing to allegations of widespread fraud in taxpayer-funded programs, disputes over state spending and concerns about public safety, the report noted. Speaking at the Star Tribune's North Star Summit this week about the fraud issue, Walz said: 'Yep, I should have done more. Fraud — should have stopped it sooner. We didn't stop them. I accept that.'
