Desantis creates the Task Force of the Florida Doge to lower government spending, target bureaucracy

Take one side of the billionaire Elon Muschus'S urge to lower federal expenditure, Governor Ron Desantis On Monday, a new body announced that will check around 900 state positions, university expenditure, the expenditure of the local government and the need for around 70 state bodies and commissions.

Hug the federal government's rapid action Efficiency of the government's MinistryOr Doge, Desantis, said that the “Task Force of the State of Doge” will be an attempt to “continue to rationalize our government and continue to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy”.

“Nobody took care of the taxpayers for too long, let alone the next generation, which ultimately has to pay for all the mismanagement that we saw in these many years,” said Desantis during a appearance in Tampa.

Desantis said he had put together the committee, but indicated that the managing director of the State Board of Directors Chris Spencer and the Department of Bond Finance Director of Florida, Ben Watkins, would be involved.

Criticism of Democrats and interest groups

The chairwoman of the Democratic Party in Florida, Nikki, was mocked by the plan and said: “The Republicans have had complete control over Florida's government for almost 30 years and would like to talk about state waste?” The GOP has held the position of governor since Jeb Bush elected in 1998 and has been checking both chambers of the legislator since 1996.

Jared Nordlund, State Director of Unidosus Florida, a Latin American civil law organization, described the plan as a “political theater”.

“Florida faces real, urgent problems to solve families who have to struggle with the highest increase in living costs in the country, students who cannot read students at an level of 8th grade, a fifth of the seniors who experience homelessness, In order to pollute the pollution of our beaches and guidelines that are more and more enemy to the communities of color and workers, ”said Nordlund in an explanation.

“But instead of dealing with these urgent questions, the governor is laser -oriented to 'inflate' from a bureaucracy that he and his own party have built, abused and armed.”

Connections to musk and Trump

With Musk, the initiative of Federal Doge has been a lot of attention in the past few weeks – and controversy – in the past few weeks because it has been looking for Slash editions.

The new state task force will have one year to make recommendations.

Targeting universities, local governments

As an example, Desantis said that the goal at the universities would be to “pruning” ideological studies, similar to the state, the initiatives for diversity, justice and inclusion (Dei) removed from the Floridas University System. The focus, he said, should be on the preparation of the students for “meaningful employment after completion”.

“We would like to ensure that these universities really serve the classic mission of what a university should be,” he said. “And that should not impose ideology. It is really to teach the students how to think and prepare them to be citizens of our republic.”

The educational officer Manny Diaz Jr. repeated this mood and explained: “It is a great time to check the expenditure for university formation with a fine tooth comb, especially when it comes to programs that do not contribute to the future success of the students on the labor market.”

Desantis also said that he would ask the legislator to grant the task force to examine local government examinations and argue that many local governments have decided to increase the budget and basic taxes for the financing of expenses.

State efforts will also include increased use of artificial intelligence in order to identify the DEI-related expenditure in contracts, said Desantis.
