The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has frozen federal funding to the state of Minnesota. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler wrote Governor Tim Walz a letter indicating that millions of dollars in federal support have been halted for business resource partners in his state.
Administrator Loeffler said in the letter, “I am notifying you that effective immediately and until further notice, the SBA is halting the disbursement of federal funds to SBA resource partners operating in the state of Minnesota, totaling over $5.5 million in annual support.”
She continued, “This action is the result of a fundamental breakdown in the public trust. Under your leadership, Minnesota failed to safeguard taxpayer dollars, and SBA will not continue to place federal resources at risk in a state where oversight measures are ignored and accountability is abandoned.”
