Florida questions Orlando, Orange County spending
Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia took a poetic approach to his criticism of alleged spending by some cities and counties in the state, part of the Florida DOGE team's financial audits of those cities. Ingoliga and Gov. Ron DeSantis discussed the findings of the Florida DOGE audit during a press conference on Wednesday. "Stop waste" read the sign on the podium.

Desantis said in a statement, noting that Florida's DOGE team has visited 12 cities and counties in the state "to seek out waste, fraud, and abuse."
