Florida Rep. Wyman Duggan pushes consolidating 27 small, fiscally strained counties to save money and improve efficiency.
Florida Representative Wyman Duggan is urging a review of the state’s 67 counties, noting that 29 are fiscally constrained and struggle to fund essential services.
He attributes the high number to historical political tactics from the early 1900s that prioritized legislative representation over efficiency.
With a proposed $300 million state fund to offset potential property tax cuts, Duggan suggests consolidating or eliminating small, low-population counties—some with under 10,000 residents—to reduce costs and improve governance.
While the legislature can change county boundaries via statute, some names like Duval are constitutionally protected.
He proposes reducing the total to around 40 counties for greater fiscal sustainability.
