On February 24, Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order launching the Florida DOGE Task Force, a state-level initiative aimed at eliminating inefficiencies and reducing costs across governmental agencies and potentially government-funded private entities, vendors, partners, and contractors. This task force will operate for one year, using artificial intelligence to conduct audits and recommend budget cuts.

These entities will likely face increased scrutiny and be required to comply with audit findings and implement recommended changes.  WSHC+B advises local governments and government-funded entities undergoing government investigations and audits, providing guidance to navigate compliance requirements and regulatory reviews. Our team has extensive experience advising public sector clients on audit response strategies and risk management.

]]> WSHC+B partner and Miami Office Managing Director, Mitch Bierman, recently spoke to Miami Today about how federal and state law has preempted local government regulation of the wireless infrastructure, but how ultimately it will make a considerable difference in economic development. 

“As a general rule and as a lawyer that represents local government,” Mitch explained, “I don’t like preemptions. At the same time, other countries are way ahead of the United States in developing their wireless infrastructure, and it’s because they don’t have local objections slowing down that development. That makes a big difference in economic development.”

Mitch is a skilled attorney specializing in government affairs, public-private partnerships, and municipal law. He serves as the Town Attorney for the Town of Cutler Bay and Village Attorney for the Village of Pinecrest in Miami-Dade County. Mitch’s experience in navigating complex legal and zoning challenges gives him a unique perspective on urban projects.
