About This Project
This project documents my ongoing struggle for justice, healthcare, and human rights within systems meant to protect people like me.
Despite holding Medical Assistance and/or Medicaid coverage the entire time, I have received treatment for my Chiari malformation within the borders of Minnesota only once in twenty two years, since 2003. My repeated attempts to access medical care have been met not with help, but with systemic resistance, retaliation, and criminal obstruction.
What I have experienced reveals a deeper problem: regulators and public agencies often fail to stop internal fraud or abuse. Instead of holding perpetrators accountable, they tend to protect insiders—while punishing and isolating victims who dare to speak up.
Because I sought healthcare and worked toward financial independence, I have been blacklisted and marginalized. I’ve been kept dependent on welfare systems, not for support, but for surveillance and control—a form of institutionalized coercion that has harmed both me and my family. When my voucher was stolen, I got beyond state borders and proved it despite being homeless. Outside of the state I was connected with surgical intervention within four months, received continuous care and as a result returned to the workforce for the first time all in under one year.
What I want is Don Klyberg and Rick Newmann to be held accountable for thousands in property damages and sexual harassment, to leave this property with the same wealth I entered with not be robbed "again" and for all parties involved with what has occurred at this specific property to be legally held accountable to make me whole. And, I want the public to know what has been done to me so that maybe it will stop happening to me and the many others like me who the media is speaking to.
Through this project, I aim to expose these systemic injustices, share evidence of how oversight systems fail vulnerable individuals, and reclaim my voice after years of suppression. I continue to fight for justice, protection, and the right to live freely and with dignity—for myself, my family, and others who have been silenced by the same mechanisms of power.
Making A Killing — A Civic Whistleblower’s Testimony
This exposé is grounded in the lived experience and documentation of a civic whistleblower with decades of direct involvement in Allina Health and Minnesota’s public service infrastructure. The investigation reveals fraud, systemic racism, and a willful, institutional refusal to enforce policy — conditions that have fueled a sustained and preventable crisis in Black health outcomes, high mortality rates, and public service failure.
If you have information, insight, or professional experience related to Minnesota’s healthcare system, public agencies, or racialized policy enforcement — your voice is essential.
I accept tips, records, and requests from individuals who have experienced or witnessed:
- Targeted denial of care or access
- Racial or retaliatory treatment within public systems
- Fraudulent or negligent conduct in state-funded programs
- Failure of agencies to act on known harm
You may contact us regarding:
- Eyewitness or firsthand experience
- Public records or internal documentation
- Media, legal, or press inquiries
- Requests for fact-checking or follow-up
- Names or leads connected to institutional misconduct
- Offers of pro bono legal representation for affected individuals or whistleblowers
- Inquiries from ethical agencies or professionals seeking to investigate or intervene in response to this exposé
This is a civic accountability project. Your contribution — whether a document, an insight, or a full case history — may help prevent further harm and bring overdue attention to one of the most pressing public health injustices in the country.
