Florida Department of Management Services: The Unsung Heroes (Who Also Handle Your Dental Plan)
Ever wondered who keeps the Florida state government's engine purring? Enter the Florida Department of Management Services (DMS), the folks behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoother than a greased alligator on a slip-and-slide (hey, it's Florida!).
Think of them as the state government's super helpful roommate. They handle the bills (not literally, that's the Department of Revenue's job), manage the furniture (buildings and stuff), and even keep the fridge stocked with single-serve yogurt for those late-night budget meetings.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
