An open letter to State Governors & Legislatures

Respect legislative authority over budgetary oversight and funding

22 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The establishment of the Florida DOGE Task Force raises concerns about the potential undermining of the legislative branch's authority over budgetary oversight and funding allocation. It is crucial to maintain the system of checks and balances, with the legislature exercising its constitutionally mandated role in financial matters. While efforts to streamline government operations and eliminate waste are commendable, they should be pursued through proper legislative channels, ensuring transparency and accountability. Any attempt to circumvent the legislature's budgetary powers could set a concerning precedent and disrupt the delicate balance of power enshrined in our democratic system. I urge you to reconsider this approach and work collaboratively with the legislature to address fiscal concerns in a manner that respects the separation of powers and the voice of the people's elected representatives.
