DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia is scheduled to hold a news conference on Wednesday morning in Daytona Beach, according to a release from his office.

While details about the event are scarce, the release states that Ingoglia will be joined by Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood and Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly.

In recent months, Ingoglia has been going from city to city, slamming certain parts of the state over what has been dubbed “excessive” spending.

The efforts are part of a greater initiative by Ingoglia and Gov. Ron DeSantis to uncover wasteful spending and try to prove to Florida residents that property taxes are unnecessarily high.

More specifically, the plan is to “arm people with information” in preparation for a property tax amendment that’s expected to go on the ballot this November, Ingoglia said back in October.

More recently, Ingoglia announced the arrest of six people this week after the state was apparently scammed out $1.7 million. His office also revealed on Tuesday afternoon that his “priority legislation” (HB 1307) had finally passed its first committee hearing.

HB 1307 would prohibit the DFS from issuing licenses or certifications to undocumented immigrants.

In addition, the bill requires that all licensing procedures, pre-licensing instruction, and licensing testing for commercial driver licenses be conducted in English.

That said, it’s unclear at this time whether any of these topics will be discussed during Wednesday’s news briefing, which is scheduled for 10 a.m.

News 6 will stream the news conference live at the top of this story when it happens.
