Florida Bulldog-obtained a copy of DOGE’s four-page May 28 letter to Tony seeking detailed information about BSO contracts, bid documents, all purchase orders and payments over $5,000, invoices, change orders, vendors and personnel costs. The letter, signed by DOGE “team leader” Eric Soskin and budget office director Leda Kelly, said the information was to be compiled by Thursday, June 11, and warned of “financial penalties” for an “untimely response.”
Tony told his staff in a Friday afternoon email that “BSO has fully complied with all the information requests and will continue to collaborate with them throughout the review process.” He also said he had volunteered for DOGE’s scrutiny. “We welcomed the opportunity to participate with DOGE to demonstrate the transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility that guide our organization,” he said.
BSO’s compliance with the state financial review comes as the sheriff has submitted a new budget request to the county of $937.4 million for 2026-27. It also comes as Tony continues to seek an additional $73.7 million from the county for the current year. He has called that a “funding gap” created when the county cut his initial $1 billion request last year.
Tony has appealed the county’s cuts to the Florida Administration Commission, chaired by DeSantis and including Attorney General James Uthmeier, Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia and Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson. A hearing had been set for last February but was abruptly called off. In his Friday email to staff, Tony said a hearing is still pending.
