Welcome to The Joe Mullins Show – Live, Work, Shop, Play, where we break down why Florida continues to lead as the model state in America.
In this powerful episode, Joe Mullins sits down with Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia to uncover what’s really happening behind rising taxes, government budgets, and local spending across the state.
From overseeing billions in taxpayer dollars to leading financial crime investigations and disaster response, Florida’s CFO role is far more than just accounting — it’s about accountability. Blaise dives deep into how local governments are increasing spending, building massive reserves, and quietly raising taxes without voters realizing it.
This conversation pulls back the curtain on:
- How property taxes are really increasing (even when rates stay the same)
- The truth about government reserve funds and “slush funds”
- How COVID-era funding led to long-term spending problems
- Why affordability in Florida is directly tied to government growth
- The role of audits, law enforcement, and financial oversight in protecting taxpayers
Beyond the numbers, this episode highlights a bigger mission: fighting for transparency, accountability, and the everyday taxpayer.
Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or Florida resident trying to understand where your money is going — this is a must-watch conversation.
