How to Fix Local Government Waste? Special Districts: $$$ Taxes. Zero Oversight. (Ep. #00130)

How to (DIY) Fix Local Government Waste? Special Districts: Billions in Taxes. Zero Oversight.
Special Districts: The Hidden Tax with Almost No Oversight!
Most people have never heard of "special districts." But these mini-governments are everywhere—especially in Florida—and they control billions of taxpayer dollars every year with very little public scrutiny.
In this short but important episode, I explain what special districts are, how they operate, and why every board member and homeowner should take a fresh look at how these funds are being used. I also share my experience as an elected board member of the Sunshine Water Control District, and why I believe 5–10% savings are not only possible, but necessary.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about leadership, accountability, and transparency.
💡 What you’ll learn:
• What special districts are (and why they matter)
• How billions in hidden taxes stay off your radar
• Why surplus budgets need more scrutiny
• What YOU can do as a homeowner or a public servant
