Klobuchar names transition team, promises audit of every state agency

Minnesota Governor-elect Amy Klobuchar named a 14-member transition team chaired by former Human Services Commissioner Cindy Jesson at her first news conference since the election, MPR News and the Minnesota Reformer report. She said she will appoint an independent senior leader to audit every state agency, working with the state inspector general, the Office of the Legislative Auditor and Minnesota Management and Budget to find fraud. She has not said when she will resign her U.S. Senate seat; the timing decides whether she or Gov. Tim Walz appoints her successor, KTTC reports.
