Palm Beach County tops wasteful spending list with $344M, surpassing Miami-Dade by $40M

Описание: Palm Beach County is wasting a lot of money, according to the Sunshine State's Chief Financial Officer.

Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Blaise Ingoglia announced Thursday that the county wasted an excessive amount of taxpayer money — a total of $344 million. He said the figure is the highest amount of wasteful spending among the eleven local governments reviewed. Ingoglia also noted that the county outspent Miami-Dade County by more than $40 million.

CFO Ingoglia is now calling on Palm Beach County to take action to reduce the wasteful spending and provide property tax relief to residents.

"Palm Beach County has dethroned Miami Dade with the amount of taxpayer dollars they are wastefully spending this year alone. These numbers keep surprising me, and it is astonishing to see big government bureaucrats take advantage of their residents’ tax dollars," Ingoglia said.
