Palm Beach County is receiving officials from Florida’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) this week.
The department is dispatching auditors across the state —including Broward and Miami-Dade counties — to scrutinize and evaluate local spending and certain services.
" Let me be clear, efficiency does not mean cutting corners. It does not mean reducing the services our residents have earned," said Palm Beach County Mayor Maria Marino in a video statement. "It means operating smarter. It means allowing our resources so that every tax dollar delivers maximum impact"
Marino noted she welcomed Florida DOGE’s assessment, boasting a collective $90 million in taxpayer savings after reducing mileage rates in recent years without reducing services.
Marino called the visit, which goes from Monday to Tuesday, a win for transparency and fiscal responsibility.
