Florida DOGE auditors to descend upon Pinellas

Pinellas County commissioners passed a resolution in April that highlighted their willingness to cede influence over the local taxpayer-funded budget to state appointees. They now have no choice.

The Florida Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has selected the county for further review and on-site inspections. A letter obtained by the Catalyst states that the agency must access “physical premises, data systems and responsive personnel” Aug. 7 and 8.

Arts Alive! podcast: Three Dali Museum muralists

Three St. Pete artists join us today on the Arts Alive! podcast, talking about the murals they created for the Dali Museum’s Outside In exhibit, which will run through the end of October.

Nicole Salgar, Laura Spencer and Chad Mize were among the 13 artists chosen to paint directly on the walls of the Dali’s main gallery – their mission, to create an entirely original large-scale work influenced by Dali, and by Surrealism in general.
