Republican Minnesota State Republic. Harry Niska mentioned that “the amount of PR consulting has been earned at half a million dollars.”
“Tim Valz spent 3 years in Congress – he knows the hearing rooms from the inside out, and he knows how to run himself in that type of setting. So why did the governors feel that a private company need to spend $ 30 3030,5,700 on a private company to ‘prepare’ for this hearing?” Nicke asked.
“It is clearly to be made clear, the state does not seem to have a legal legal interest in raising $ half a million in consultation, as it has tried to do the basis for the presidential campaign.
Responding to Walz’s decision to contract with K&L Gates, both the Governor and his team removed the explanation. Instead, he blamed the Republican people at the base of the people that they had any intentions other than “Grandstand”, according to the Star Tribune.

Walz spokesperson Teddy Tschan has described the hearing as “planned political stunts on taxpayer dime,” Star Tribune said.
“He was very busy working for a camera to show interest in the hearing of Governor Walz about the balanced view of the immigration of Minnesota,” Tshanan further said. “The most disappointing is that Tom Emper and Peter Stober planned the spectacle and what cost for it and still went through it.”
When asked directly about the legal bill, Wolz told reporters that the GOP-leadership hearing “No where I wanted to spend money. Not just where I wanted to spend my time, and it was certainly proven that it was nothing but a grandfather.”
