Gov. Ron DeSantis announced a Florida version of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), following the federal government’s steps to eliminate “waste, fraud and abuse” but on the state level.

The governor said over a one-year term the state will attempt to sunset 70 state boards and commissions, cut 900 positions, require universities to undergo independent reviews and audits and look into local government expenditures.

“I’m excited about this effort to take some of what we’ve seen in Washington that they’re doing with Elon Musk and apply it to Florida,” DeSantis said at a press conference in Tampa on Monday.

Musk and the Trump Administration’s DOGE have made drastic cuts to the federal government, firing thousands of probational and full-time employees from the Department of Education, Small Business Administration and the Energy Department, the Department of Defense, among others.
