Citing suspected child care fraud, akin to the Somali-dominated scandals in Minnesota, dozens of Ohio lawmakers are urging a state agency to aggressively investigate any concerns of possible fraud at day care sites.

State Rep. Josh Williams shared a letter to the state Department of Children and Youth on Dec. 30, signed by at least 40 other lawmakers, requesting the investigation.
