明尼苏达州长候选人 Amy Klobuchar 承诺上任首日启动州政府全面审计：共和党对手 Lisa Demuth 抨击其延续沃尔兹路线
正在竞选明尼苏达州州长的联邦参议员 Amy Klobuchar 11月1日在明尼苏达州拉姆齐县 St. Paul 举行的新闻发布会上公布施政计划，承诺如果当选，将在上任第一天启动对州政府的全面审计，彻查各州级机构的浪费、欺诈和滥用问题，并推出一系列反欺诈措施。
Klobuchar 表示，这项审计的目标是把州政府改造成一个更负责任、更有效率的体系，她并以此与现任州长 Tim Walz 政府划清界限；Walz 任内，州政府项目欺诈丑闻受到持续关注，联邦调查人员曾突击搜查20多家托育中心。她说：“我不喜欢现状。如果我想让一切照旧，我就不会竞选州长。”
共和党州长候选人、州众议院议长 Lisa Demuth 随即反击，在线上声明中称，民主党连续四届掌控行政分支已使州预算翻倍、加税数十亿，并纵容了欺诈文化，Klobuchar 的方案不过是“沃尔兹时代”的延续。明尼苏达州州长席位因 Walz 放弃连任而开放，选举将于11月3日举行。

Minnesota Gubernatorial Candidate Amy Klobuchar Vows Day-One Audit of State Government; GOP Rival Lisa Demuth Blasts Walz Ties
U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, who is running for governor of Minnesota, unveiled a plan at a news conference in St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, on November 1, pledging that on day one she will begin a top-to-bottom audit of state government to identify waste, fraud and abuse across state agencies, alongside a series of anti-fraud measures.
Klobuchar said the proposal is aimed at transforming state government into a more accountable and efficient system, drawing a contrast with Governor Tim Walz's administration, which has been mired in controversy over fraud scandals in state-run programs, including federal investigations and FBI raids targeting more than 20 childcare centers. 'I don't like the status quo. I wouldn't be running for governor if I wanted to have things remain the same,' she said.
Republican gubernatorial candidate and state House Speaker Lisa Demuth blasted the proposal in a statement posted online, arguing that four terms of Democratic control of the executive branch have doubled the state budget, raised taxes by billions and enabled a culture of fraud, and that Klobuchar wants to continue the Walz era. The governor's seat is open because Walz is not seeking re-election; the election is on November 3.
