Teachers’ Minn. Pension Fund Under Tim Walz ‘Cooking The Books’ By Vastly Underreporting Fees: ‘Madoff Miracle’
New York Post August 8, 2024
A Minnesota retirement system for public school teachers under Gov. Tim Walz is “cooking the books” by vastly underreporting annual fees paid to Wall Street investment managers — and posting near-impossible gains tantamount to a “Madoff miracle,” a top pension investigator said.
The state-run Teachers Retirement Association, or TRA, has publicly disclosed less than 10% of an estimated $2.9 billion spent on fees in the past 10 years, said Edward Siedle, a former US Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer and independent pension investigator.
The TRA also posted gains claiming it beat its own custom benchmark over periods of one, five, 10, 20 and 30 years by exactly 0.2%, which Siedle called “virtually impossible.”

Your right wing propagandist spin on Walz being involved with Minnesota TRA is a slap in the face to teachers in Minnesota.
If you were writing in the NYT vs the NY Post, we we’d be more apt to hear you.
Do better!!!!
