FLORIDA CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER BLAISE INGOGLIA: “When budgets go up over 4-5 years between 60-120%, I have issues with wasteful spending. I have issues with government spending on things that should not be spent on, and then continually asking the taxpayers for more, more, more. The taxpayers have had ENOUGH, and so have I.”

How much did the Islamorada Budget increase since 2021? If the proposed budget is approved by council at 2.65 mills,the General Fund expenditures will have  increased by 56.6% since the 2020-2021 budget.  The Total Village Expenditures for all funds will have increased by 82.8% (up from $35M to $65M).


Has there been much change in the services provided?

Cost of Village Personnel: The budget being proposed for Budget Hearing #1 includes significant changes in the cost of Islamorada’s staff.  

  • Pay increases proposed based on Salary Study done earlier this year: $442,868
