This seems like a good thing. I wonder what they would find in one of the big blue cities.
GOOD!
Now include school districts!!
HOORAY DeSantis! HOORAY D.O.G.E.!
With the influx of millions of new residents to Florida, the local governments have had a huge increase in property tax revenue.
When agricultural land is converted to housing land, property tax revenue increases many fold.
Florida politicians are not any different than politicians anywhere else. Give them a bunch a money and they will find ways to spend it on foolish projects.
>>Over the past two years our city commission has passed a historic debt reduction plan and eliminated 161.5 staff positions.
That’s mind boggling. They had a TON of make work jobs, clearly. My old city was around 1/3rd the population and I don’t think we had 160 employees total. Now fire was with the county, but still. WOW!
A huge waste of money is in “Roundabouts”, that’s traffic circles. In the 50s and 60s states and cities spent hundreds of millions of dollars to eliminate them because they were the cause of a large number of fatal traffic accidents. But, when politicians go on vacation they bring back “cutsy” ideas about where to spend taxpayer’s money.
