Eau Claire County’s sheriff is combing through the files of a Minnesota non-profit, looking for answers about missing and misspent money at the county’s Department of Human Services.
Sheriff Ron Cramer says investigators served a warrant at a non-profit called Alia Innovations. The group has worked with the county’s DHS since 2017. The sheriff’s office is leading the investigation into how DHS was seven-and-a-half million-dollars over budget for the past three years. He says the next step is a forensic audit.
