RINO Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's office has brushed off growing concerns about potential massive fraud in taxpayer-funded daycare centers, particularly in Columbus, which boasts the second-largest Somali population in the United States, as simply "the cost of doing business."

The governor's office said that attempts to use daycare centers for fraud in Ohio have been "known to the state for decades," and implied that those who did not think it was an issue are naive.

Speaking to the Columbus Dispatch, Dan Tierney, DeWine's spokesperson, denied any recent "surge" in fraud but acknowledged that the governor's office is aware of public interest in the matter.

"If people are out there who could not contemplate that people were trying to defraud the public through day care centers, I understand it's new to them … but it's been known to the state for decades," Tierney said. "So therefore, we have robust anti-fraud measures to try and stop this, this is something that is unfortunately the cost of doing business."
