SANFORD, Fla. - Seminole County Responds to State's Spending Claims

This month, Florida's chief financial officer said the county was overtaxing residents.

The backstory:

Seminole County commissioners sent Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia a letter Oct. 15, requesting his office "reconsider the conclusion that Seminole County overspent its budget."

Ingoglia held a news conference Oct. 7 in Seminole County to claim the county overspent its budget by $48.4 million.
