Ingoglia Targets Jacksonville Spending

Florida’s CFO Blaise Ingoglia is hitting Jacksonville again, accusing the city of squandering over $275 million in wasteful spending tied to unnecessary programs and bloated staff — a claim he’s revisited since last fall. While he didn’t name specific cuts this time, he hinted Councilman Rory Diamond might have ideas. The Mayor’s office fired back, calling the accusations politically motivated and baseless, arguing Jacksonville already runs lean while funding vital services like parks and libraries. They also pointed out contradictions in Ingoglia’s timeline and past statements, while noting his own team had previously suggested savings through cutting overtime and certain grants — including arts and DEI funding.
