“It’s important to get an audit early on,” said State Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, noting that the Florida Legislature has allocated $500,000 to the nonprofit for the memorial and that Orange County has pledged $10 million from its hotel tax. “With these types of public dollars being spent, and because this was such a uniquely tragic event for our community, there has to be an audit. And it has to be external. And I say this not from place of malcontent, but just because of the need for transparency, especially when you have so many families impacted.”
