CFO: St. Pete owes property owners $49 million

St. Petersburg’s budget increased by nearly $133 million over the past six years despite the city gaining just 11,500 new residents, according to Florida Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia.

Ingoglia held an impromptu press conference at The Birchwood restaurant Wednesday to admonish city officials for alleged financial misconduct. He said St. Petersburg has overtaxed residents by $49 million from 2019 through 2025 to support a bloated bureaucracy.
