Bishop Harding Smith’s wage theft charges have been dropped, sparking debate over political motives and nonprofit accountability. Smith, founder of Minnesota Acts Now, admitted to paying $20/hour but argued the contract with Hennepin County allowed “up to” $35/hour — with no employees stepping forward to claim unpaid wages. His team accuses the county attorney’s office of a vendetta, while officials say the dismissal was due to procedural deadlines, not evidence. A separate theft-by-swindle case looms, set for trial in January — and the nonprofit’s vital community work continues amid legal uncertainty.
