WATCH BELOW AT 2:30 P.M.

Florida's CFO will be in St. Lucie County on Wednesday afternoon.

According to a news release, CFO Blaise Ingoglia will hold a news conference in Fort Pierce at 2:30 p.m. regarding "government accountability."

Ingoglia has made headlines over the last year in his pursuit to curb local government overspending across the state.

A 99-page report released by the CFO's office last month claimed DOGE teams "reviewed 11 local governments over the last six months and exposed more than $1.86 billion in excessive wasteful spending."

Among the government agencies analyzed by Ingoglia's team, the CFO said that Palm Beach County topped the list with $344 million in overspending. That figure has been met with pushback from county leaders, who are challenging the report's accuracy and demanding transparency from state officials.
