## Resource

Former Project BEE executive director Elizabeth Myers is set to plead guilty to federal program theft, admitting to stealing over $61,000—including $55,000 for personal expenses like childcare and pet supplies, and nearly $6,000 for rent—from a federally funded disaster resilience organization. The group, which supported those at risk of homelessness, shut down abruptly in December 2023 amid an investigation. Myers resigned around that time. While prosecutors are recommending leniency—avoiding prison or fines, with repayment required—she could still face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The city of Minot remains silent due to ongoing legal proceedings, though Project BEE has reopened with community backing, though key services like its warming center remain absent. The city also took over a shelter project now managed by a different group. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
