ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Florida’s chief financial officer said Wednesday that his office had issued subpoenas to county workers in the Orlando area after they didn’t fully cooperate with the state’s version of DOGE , which has been examining local governments for wasteful spending.

The subpoenas for Orange County workers over failing to cooperate fully with the state’s DOGE efforts were the first, but workers in other counties could face similar subpoenas, said Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia. Orange County is home to Orlando.

The Republican chief financial officer accused Orange County workers of hiding records related to diversity, equality and inclusion, also known as DEI, and reading from a prepared script when asked questions. He wouldn’t say how many subpoenas his office had issued.
