布劳沃德县长查访警长办公室总部吃闭门羹 9亿美元预算监督之争升级

迈阿密都会区的布劳沃德县(Broward County)近日爆出预算监督争端。据《迈阿密焦点报》(Miami Focal)10月12日至13日报道,县长马克·博根(Mark Bogen)与多名县委员10月12日前往布劳沃德县警长办公室(BSO)总部及培训中心,要求进入查看一处四楼设施——据县方称那里设有健身房和水疗区,包括桑拿房和冷水池——但被警长办公室拒绝入内。
博根表示,县委员会已经批准了警长办公室近9亿美元的核心预算,作为出资方,县政府有权了解资金用途;如果警长办公室继续拒绝配合,县委员会将考虑在周二(10月13日)的会议上表决是否诉诸法院,强制要求公开相关信息。部分县委员支持县长的立场,认为预算监督是县委员会的法定职责。
警长格雷戈里·托尼(Gregory Tony)则回应称,县方应当通过公共记录申请等正常程序获取信息,而不是以突击查访的方式施加压力,并表示自己不会接受「霸凌」。双方还就警长办公室的预算执行和设施建设公开互相指责。
这场争端折射出佛州县级政府与民选警长之间长期的权力张力:警长由选民直接选举产生、独立于县委员会,但其预算主要由县政府拨款。周二的县委员会会议表决结果,将决定这场争端是否进入法庭。

Broward Mayor Turned Away at Sheriff's Headquarters as $900 Million Budget Oversight Fight Escalates
A budget-oversight fight in Miami-metro Broward County escalated this week. According to Miami Focal (Oct. 12-13), Mayor Mark Bogen and several county commissioners went to the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) headquarters and training center on Oct. 12 and demanded access to a fourth-floor area the county says houses a gym and spa facilities, including a sauna and cold plunge — and were turned away.
Bogen said the county commission has approved a core budget of nearly $900 million for the sheriff's office and, as the funding body, has a right to know how the money is used. If the sheriff's office continues to refuse cooperation, he said, the commission may vote on Tuesday (Oct. 13) on whether to go to court to compel disclosure. Several commissioners backed the mayor's position, calling budget oversight a statutory duty of the commission.
Sheriff Gregory Tony responded that the county should obtain information through normal channels such as public-records requests rather than pressure tactics like an unannounced visit, and said he would not be 'bullied.' The two sides have also traded public accusations over the sheriff's budget execution and facility spending.
The dispute reflects a long-standing tension in Florida county government: sheriffs are independently elected by voters yet funded largely by county commissions. Tuesday's commission vote will decide whether the fight moves into a courtroom.
