While Joel Greenberg was looting taxpayer money throughout his tenure as tax collector, just one government entity acted like it cared: the Seminole County Commission.
The county — along with private citizens — tried to blow the whistle on Greenberg time and again as he hired his best buds, who often did no work, and bestowed millions in contracts, which often resulted in no product.
But unlike some other constitutional offices, counties have no authority over the tax collector’s budget; the state Department of Revenue does.
