That's your job. Figure it out. That's what you get paid to do and what the voters wanted. What did you think it was a ribbon cutting junket? For starts I would evaluate all personnel and fleet expenses. Additionally you should be moving all new employees to defined contribution plans to limit future obligations.
@devonJC27@JeffreyBrandes@luunrapp Interesting as technology has never been cheaper in the private sector. Yet more examples of vendor exploitation of the government budget process and a total failure in fiscal leadership.
@THEPaulaTighe@orlandosentinel Except they will have to pass those increases under the light of day rather than hiding their obnoxious budget increases under the cover of never ending property value increases.
@JeffreyBrandes@luunrapp Still hasnโt declosed his NGO funding sources for 2026. The grifter class has a bunch of bots deployed right now all over X. These guys just canโt take the L and move on. Municipalities need to tighten up. The slop bucket days are over.
@swd2 The amount of bots deployed with these taking points after the grifters took the L in the election on the amendment is insane. All the same lazy no fact talking points.
@PeterSchorschFL@calleymeans So many scummy Florida political grifters getting exposed via these @calleymeans and amendment 3 stories. You clowns realize you donโt have to out yourselves.
Those vendors have never been held to account. There is no reason to when these municipalities are overrun with our money. Do we need gold leaf artwork on very new fire truck. Does every government vehicle need to be the highest trim. You completely ignore the waste and fraud happening through the state. Hell Hillsborough countyโs audit identified over 600M in waste. Maybe itโs time for them to start finding ways to deliver better services for less. If they canโt then they will have to argue for fees and tax increases in daylight rather than continuing to hide in property value increases. Iโd love to hear about a government. Service that has gotten better over the last decade despite this level of funding and that includes public schools which have been on a downward trend since Covid. You still always avoid answering the direct question of who is funding your not for profit grift this year. Go ahead and disclose. We are going to see it eventually anyways.
@HollyBullardFL Revenue up 158% vs ~75-80% combined population growth plus CPI. The excess came from rising taxable values and new construction, even as the millage rate dropped from 8.45 to about 6.7. Sounds like a 30% haircut makes a lot of sense....grifter.
