Any you thought your state might be a little irresponsible...
Florida Government Searches For 18,000 Missing Buildings - cbs4.comTALLAHASSEE (CBS4) ― The state ofFlorida is looking for help finding something you'd think would be hard to lose: approximately 18,000 buildings, owned by the taxpayers of Florida, that state officials can't quite put their fingers on. What's more, state officials say they don't have the people to hunt them down, so they want to use tax money to hire an outside company to find each building Florida has misplaced.
The plan was made public by Linda South, Secretary of the Florida Department of Management Services. Earlier this year, legislators handed her the job of locating surplus state-owned properties and buildings that could be sold, possibly raising a few bucks for Florida's cash-strapped treasury. The mission was simple; finding the state owned properties, not so much..
It seems that nowhere in the state was a single list of all of the properties taxpayers own.
Linda McDonald, a spokesperson for South's department, said it's not clear such a list was ever required by the state.
