FL NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE TONE, DEMANDS, AND ACCUSATIONS OF FL DOGE LETTER TO MAYOR DEMINGS AS INSULTING, UNDEMOCRATIC, POLITICALLY MOTIVATED, AND MEAN-SPIRITED!
An appalling letter from Florida’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings is part of a sweeping state-led audit targeting what officials call “excessive spending” in local governments. They should be focused on state spending. The July 24 letter accuses Orange County of increasing property tax collections by over $330 million and total expenditures by $1.6 billion over five years—a 57% increase.
