Deegan fires back after Florida CFO claims city is placing restrictions on DOGE auditors

Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan is pushing back against accusations that the city is standing in the way of a state audit. Hours after Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia posted a letter to social media, claiming that some local governments are “trying to place ‘conditions’ and restrictions” on DOGE auditors, Deegan responded, insisting that his characterization is a misrepresentation of her office’s intentions.
