Yes — the core facts check out. • **Amount & purpose:** Minnesota did pay roughly **\$430 000** in public money to the Washington-based law firm **K\&L Gates** to coach Gov. Tim Walz for a June 12, 2025 U.S. House Oversight Committee hearing on “sanctuary-city” policy. ([Star Tribune][1]) • **Timeframe & hourly rate:** Invoices the Star Tribune obtained cover work from **April 10 to June 12**; May charges alone came to about **\$232 000, averaging \$516 per hour**. ([Star Tribune][1]) • **Funding source:** The governor’s office tapped Minnesota’s **general fund** after getting approval from the Legislative Advisory Commission. ([Star Tribune][1]) • **Political reaction:** GOP legislators Jim Nash and Harry Niska called the spending excessive, while Walz’s staff blamed House Republicans for staging a “political stunt.” ([Star Tribune][1]) • **Comparable cases elsewhere:** Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (up to \$650 000), Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (≈ \$250 000) and others have used outside counsel for similar congressional-hearing prep. ([Star Tribune][1]) So the report that Gov. Walz’s office spent about \$430 000 of taxpayer money on outside lawyers to prepare for the sanctuary-city hearing—and the ensuing partisan flap—is accurate.
