DeSantis launches DOGE audits of city, county spending

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on-site audits of city and county governments starting July 31, targeting areas with complaints from taxpayers of wasteful spending. The Florida governor specifically called out Broward County, saying it raised property taxes by nearly 50% since 2020, even though its population reportedly grew by less than 5%. DeSantis emphasized that these audits are now required by law and local governments must cooperate.
