Orange County government picks up the tab for Glen Gilzean's employees

Orange County government picks up the tab for Glen Gilzean's employees

  • In court and public meetings, the Orange County government is openly feuding with Gilzean over allegations of mismanagement and misspending. The Orange County Commission voted earlier this month to withhold Gilzean's December budget payment but agreed Tuesday to pay Gilzean's $250,000 payroll to payroll company ADP.

The article from Florida Politics discusses how Orange County government is now covering the salaries of employees working under Glen Gilzean, the new administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD). Previously, these employees were paid by the district itself. This change comes after Gilzean, who was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis, took over from the former Reedy Creek Improvement District, which had been managed by Disney. The decision to have the county pay for these employees has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, especially since Gilzean also serves as the chairman of the county's election board. Critics argue that this arrangement could blur the lines between his roles, potentially affecting the impartiality required for his election duties. The move has sparked discussions on governance, oversight, and the financial implications for Orange County taxpayers.
