Florida Wasted $1.5B in Property Taxes

Over $1.5 billion in wasteful local spending just got exposed — and it’s all right here in Florida.

Governor DeSantis and CFO Blaise Ingoglia’s Florida DOGE Task Force uncovered massive waste in 9 counties and cities — all pulled from the general fund, which is fueled by property tax money. That means this isn’t “extra” money… it’s your money.

Here’s what they’ve found so far:

• Miami-Dade County: $302 million

• Hillsborough County: $278 million

• Jacksonville: $199 million

• Orange County: $190 million

• Broward County: $189 million

• Manatee County: $112 million

• City of Miami: $94 million

• Alachua County: $84 million

• Seminole County: $48 million

Some of the worst examples?

• $223,000 for youth programs pushing gender ideology

• $950,000 for a county vehicle allowance. Must be rollin’ in nice rides in Hillsborough County.

• $572,000 for “unconscious bias” training. This means they secretly try to convince county employees they’re racist.

• $175,000 to create virtual art in the metaverse. They got ripped off!

• $460,000 just to count trees. WHAT?!?

Every one of those dollars comes straight from your property taxes. If we cut this kind of reckless spending, we could wipe out property taxes on homestead homes entirely.

This is just the beginning. The DOGE task force says more audits are coming, and I’ll keep you posted as they dig deeper.
