Patronis, Scott plan to host roundtable to combat Biden’s IRS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis announced that he is partnering with Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., to host an upcoming roundtable discussion on the topic of the Internal Revenue Service.

“The expansion of the IRS by Team Biden will only cause pain and misery,” Patronis said. “No one asked for this.”

“Having Senator Scott in the fight is a win for Florida,” he said. “Stay tuned!”

Patronis introduced several measures during a July roundtable to combat the “supercharging” of the IRS under the Biden administration.

One of the actions made was the implementation of the Florida IRS Transparency Portal, a form that allows Floridians to report IRS activity with their personal banking and finances.

“If there’s an IRS agent who’s bullying a Florida resident, I want to know about it,” he said during the roundtable.

“With this information they’ll have better insight into how the IRS targets families and small businesses, so they’re more effective at reining an agency that Biden is hell-bent on leveraging as his own political operation,” he added

Patronis also requested that apps such as PayPal, Venmo and Zelle end their contracts with the federal bureau.

”The State of Florida will not sit idly by while Big Tech is building technologies to violate Floridians’ privacy, nor shakedown small business owners who are just trying to make a buck in an economy where everything is expensive,” he said.
