TAMPA, Fla. — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced the creation of the Florida State Department of Governmental Efficiency task force on Monday.
It aims to “further eliminate waste within state government, save taxpayers money, and ensure accountability in Florida,” according to a news release.
The task force will eliminate bureaucracy, review colleges and universities, further examine state agencies, audit local governments, and return unused and surplus federal dollars.
“Florida has set the standard for fiscally conservative governance, and our new Florida DOGE task force will do even more to serve the people of Florida,” DeSantis said in the release. “It will eliminate redundant boards and commissions, review state university and college operations and spending, utilize artificial intelligence to further examine state agencies to uncover hidden waste, and even audit the spending habits of local entities to shine the light on waste and bloat.”

PING!
It’s catching on.
DOGE....going viral
Not in lib states it won’t
No state income tax, doing away with real estate tax, cutting the waste and bloat…….Next thing Florida will be doing is sending checks to its residents.

And DeSantis is talking about abolishing property taxes in FL. If this keeps up, I’m moving. TX has been great, but property taxes are astronomical here. And DeSantis has done FL enough good that it will be quite a while before bad governance can make it a place people would not want to live in.
what I dont understand is why use DOGE to do this? what not just use the inspector generals office which already exists and does exactly the same thing? Dont trust anyone there? fine, then fire them all and fill their jobs with DOGE people.
An audit? How is this a new thing?
Great News!
All republican states should be forming DOGE divisions-
Sorry this guy is doing things just for show. Not sincere or he would have secured FL borders and worked toward real helps for the people. Instead they get quick fix kick in the *ss, while Desantis and wife try to tip toe to more power
Ron’s idea for a Florida DOGE is better than his idea for this:
(Casey has been rumored to be his handler for years.)
yes! Come on Texas.
Right.
Stay in TX.
