ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia will speak in Orlando on Monday to discuss “government accountability and wasteful spending.”

Ingoglia will hold a news conference at 1:30 p.m. at Restaurant Equipment World.

Orlando was one of at least a dozen city and county governments, including Orange County, facing audits by Florida’s DOGE Task Force created by Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier this year. DOGE officials said it would be looking at items including but not limited to employee pay, DEI and homeless services.

This news conference also comes after Ingoglia accused Orange County of trying to hide budget information from the DOGE team back in August and of making employees answer questions with prepared statements.

At the end of August, DeSantis claimed some Orange County staff did not fully cooperate with an audit by the state’s DOGE team. The state then issued investigative subpoenas for county employees. The state subpoenaed 16 county employees as part of the investigation, including the county attorney.

Ingoglia said his office is investigating whether county staff withheld or altered documents related to five diversity, equity and inclusion grants. He suggested the county may have renamed files to prevent disclosure.

Last month, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said there was no evidence to support the state’s accusations and called Ingoglia’s attack politically motivated.

“There has not been any direction from myself or any senior leadership to our employees to hide information or any of that,” Demings said.

“This whole process has been tainted at this point, because they’ve already tried and convicted Orange County before they’ve ever completed their investigation,” Demings added. “When that happens, you know this is politically motivated. Something else is motivating that.”

News 6 will stream the news conference live at the top of this story.
