[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

🔥Endorsement Alert🔥

“We’ve never had someone in state government that’s been such a bulldog in favor of the taxpayers”

“This is one of the easiest choices conservatives will ever have for CFO”

Honored to be endorsed by America’s Governor @GovRonDeSantis!

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@proftinkerbell No it doesn’t. Statute explicitly says maintenance is not infrastructure.

Water capacity and treatment could be infrastructure but that is paid for by a type of impact fee: connection fees.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

Wrong. Infrastructure is paid for by the growth itself in the form of impact or user fees, not your property taxes.

If your local government is paying for growth via property taxes then they’re giving builders and developers a free pass.

[Matt Surrency, CFP®️, SE-AWMA®️ @MATTSURRENCY]

What @GovGoneWild also fails to realize is that local governments have to invest in infrastructure and services for the growth that has happened and that is going to happen in the future.

You can’t wait for people to arrive to build an infrastructure project. You can’t wait to hire and train first responders. Government services can’t be reactionary, you have to be proactive and plan for the future. #FlaPol

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@usftoro1956 Yes. New infrastructure. Any new capacity is to be paid for by impact fees.

And, also yes, maintenance partially by some property taxes but also gas taxes.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@fl_jamie77 @jbs_with_a_kiss I suggest you re-read that statute. Its clearly references impact fees collected by “local governments, school districts or special districts”.

Nowhere in that statute does it say they cannot collect impact fees.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@jbs_with_a_kiss New schools and new firehouses are indeed new infrastructure. Impact fees are collected for those.

This teacher should never teach in a classroom in the United States again.

And, yes, I would say same the same if it was directed to Obama, Biden, etc.

[Anastasios Kamoutsas @StasiKamoutsas]

A teacher in Pasco County injected extremist political rhetoric into her mathematics classroom, taking advantage of her position of trust by telling students that “Trump deserves a bullet through the head.”

I have found probable cause to pursue sanctions against her teaching certificate and will take every available step to ensure she never teaches again.

Teachers are entrusted with shaping young minds and must foster civil discourse. Celebrating or encouraging violence is fundamentally inconsistent with that responsibility and will not be tolerated.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@FLVoiceNews Oops.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

Affordability is a big issue here in Florida.

When local elected officials come out AGAINST reducing your property taxes they’re actually REFUSING to make things more affordable for you and your families.

They CAN make things more affordable…they just dont want to.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

Newsflash: We already accounted for their booming population increase in our calculations.

Osceola County wasted and excessively spent $165M ON TOP
OF THAT!

@FLVoiceNews

[Florida’s Voice @FLVoiceNews]

NEW: Osceola County fires back at Florida CFO’s ‘drunken sailor’ spending allegations.

County Manager Donald Fisher letter: “That [population] growth has increased demand for public safety, transportation, infrastructure, and other essential services, all of which require ongoing financial investment and maintenance."

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

Florida offers freedom and opportunity.

If you come here to escape the high tax, high regulatory states don’t try and turn this state into the state you fled from.

Don’t New York Our Florida!

Leave your leftist ideology and big spending ideas at the border.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@ForensicsFAFO @FLVoiceNews COVID.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@joshuaryalswg @FLVoiceNews Illegal crackdown like that is under the Department of Commerce (unless there’s workers comp fraud which my office has been cracking down on).

As far as the other, if you have any verifiable instances of this please send to my office. We’re more than happy to look into this.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@Danielle0917 We just did it today.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

I think Palm Beach County needs a spending intervention!

The amount of recent wasteful and excessive spending is eye-popping.

Last years waste: $344M
This years waste: $443M

Total over last 6 years….

$1,229,718,280!!!

There’s no better exhibit for property tax reform than PBC.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

Accurate.

[Gary Fineout @fineout]

also from Ingoglia today: "I hate to say this but government has become a grift."

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@1fishfan_72 @FLVoiceNews Standing up for taxpayers and trying to make things more affordable for Floridians isn’t political theatre.

Some calculations Utah and Colorado uses to keep government in check.

Conservatives should want to keep government in check.

CFO Blaise Ingoglia Announces Wasteful, Excessive Spending in Osceola County https://t.co/87Mkcfqgct

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@OlympicDrankz @OlmoUshi @ReOpenChris It is. And for more context many (but not all) of these jurisdictions were UNDER or inline with inflation plus population growth until 2023. So there no excuse.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@OlympicDrankz @OlmoUshi @ReOpenChris It’s actually as high as 100% OVER inflation and population growth.

[Blaise Ingoglia @GovGoneWild]

@SunSentinel *tried* to refute the claims.

It didn’t work.
