Newly appointed State CFO and FL DOGE will conduct on-site audits of local governments throughout the state. DeSantis has long criticized what he calls Broward County's "massive" budget increases.

In the press conference on Tuesday, DeSantis and his head of DOGE, Eric Soskin, acknowledged that Broward County had responded to their request for financial information - but said they still considered the local government to be uncooperative because it had not passed a resolution supporting their financial audits.

Gainesville and Broward County were put on notice just hours after Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia took office.
