The Brief

ORLANDO, Fla. - Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia announced that his office has uncovered roughly $1.5 billion in what he calls "wasteful spending" across ten municipalities audited so far.

According to Ingoglia, Orlando ranked among the best-performing cities, with only 4% of its budget — about $22 million — identified as potential waste, compared to $190 million in Orange County.

What we know:

Ingoglia’s audits are part of a broader initiative by the Florida Department of Financial Services to increase transparency and identify what the CFO calls excessive local government spending.

The announcement in Orlando followed similar visits to other Florida cities as part of a public campaign to push for budget reductions and potential property tax relief.
