Florida Doge targets Broward counties, Alachua on public spending

Florida Governor Ron Desantis and the Chief Financial Officer of the Blaise INGOGLIA State sent teams from the Florida Government Department (FLDOGE) in two major blue jurisdictions, citing hot air balloon budgets and an increase in taxes as a reason for external responsibility.

“Florida is the model of budgetary liability at the state level, and we will use our authority to ensure that local governments follow the plunge,” said Desantis in a statement after sending Tallahassee teams to the county of Broward and the County of Alachua.

“The efforts of the Florida DOGE is due to the taxpayer and yet another way in which their state is to continue budgetary responsibility,” he said about operations.

FLDOGE allegedly alleged that the Floridians living in the county of Broward – anchored by Fort Lauderdale – saw $ 450 million in additional “ad valorem” taxes (property / car / sales) arriving at the Government of the Comté.

The agency said that the Broward operating budget extended from $ 1.2 billion during a recent period during which the population has only increased by 5%.

At the other end of the Florida turnpike, Gainesville is ready to spend $ 90 million more four years ago, according to Desantis.

“This increase in expenses is now partly received by owners of Gainesville, who should pay 85% more in land tax than they paid in 2020,” said a statement from the Governor’s office.

The press release added that part of this increase was truly linked to doping the values of properties in Florida – which saw a northeast flood escaping from large -scale states such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts.

INGOGLIA qualified the operation to make a “new era of transparency and responsibility”.

“For years, I have called reckless local expenses, often on things that taxpayers would never support if they knew the whole story,” said Ingoglia, who was previously state senator for the county of Hernando and Suncoast.

INGOGLIA said it was FLDOGE’s work to open books and ask for answers to “bring back tax mental health”.

The mayor of Gainesville, Harvey Ward, confirmed to Fox News Digital that the city welcomed the officials of FLDOGE and gave them “all the information they may need to review the excellent work of our city in recent years”.

“I hope they can put our best practices to work through the state, Like Gainesville has experienced historical improvements in the safety of crimes and pedestrians as well as the growth in the production of affordable housing in the past two years, “said Ward.

Ward said that Gainesville is an “open book” with regard to the transparency of taxpayers’ resources and that it respects the effectiveness of its government.

The mayor then discussed the cleanliness of the city, citing the reduction in debt and the elimination of 160 staff positions and the improvement of his municipal credit rating.

“We now see other cities and counties historically blue in Florida undergoing a similar examination, and I am sure they will also make good results,” said Ward.

Meanwhile, Broward officials were died against visitors to Tallahassee.

The beam of the mayor of Broward county said Miami PBS affiliate that as a county of a “domicile rule”, BROWARD reserves the right to refuse the forced reallocation of state resources.

Furr has added that it will also cost resources to make additional workforce download and pore through “thousands” of documentation pages in response to FLDOGE requests.

“This is a huge taxation,” he said, because the report has added that FLDOGE is also looking for information on the revenues of Sternteen that return to the Public Bus system of the Comté.

The county also fell to the subsection of the FLDOGE survey referring to the Green New Deal, because Furr said that his office had never adopted the far left frame created by Senator Ed Markey, D-MASS.

But the mayor said that climate change as a problem was rightly in the spirit of Fort Lauderdale, which is near sea level.

FLDOGE indicated that several other jurisdictions were under audit and could soon see the staff of the agency also visit.

Orange, which includes Orlando and most of Walt Disney World; Hillsborough, who includes Tampa; And Pinellas, which includes Saint Petersburg and Clearwater, are all counties who could hear the staff of Indoglia knock on their door.
