If I were given merely, at best, 24 hours to determine and analyze fiscal impact, I'd write the same thing too.

Apparently this qualifies as a professional assessment discussing the impact of the bill.

I wouldn’t put my name on an analysis and attach a favorable rating to a bill that I’ve only had two days to investigate and research. Especially when it’s clear from this assessment that very little research or investigation was actually done.

Nor would I, but the poor soul tasked with writing this, in extremely limited time, likely wanted to keep his job.

No ethics in a position that requires them? who hired this clown

Since this was written by the staff of a Senate committee, I'm not sure it was nonpartisan analysis.
I believe most legislative committee staff is hired by the leaders of the committee; it's not a long-term nonpartisan position. Or at least that's generally how it works in the US Congress, as far as I know. I doubt Florida is any different.

I can look on the bright side. At least this post did not get deletedPosts will be deleted as long as posters continue to ignore guidelines and/or go off topic. And continue to be rude to other posters. So, forever.
. Does this fall under the rude category? Because I am just joking. I too am a fan of bold.Your role as moderator is a difficult one. Does a post break the rules or am I looking at the post with a subjective eye?
In the end, it’s doesn’t matter. These boards are totally fun! They provide a lot if good tips to Disneyparks visitors!
An as for any opinions about anything in TWDC, parks, movies, prices; it's fun to discuss but we all know it won’t make any difference.
TWDC will do what it will do…

The most recent analysis on their website, for any legislation, dates back to January 31.
I don't think any analysis was done on this year's bill. I could be wrong.
Which would be done for bills that came up during the regular session.
My guess, knowing how fond the Legislature is of their own research arm, is OPPAGA would have pointed out all the issues that we have commented on in the thread. And they wouldn't have wanted that.

The legislature probably knew they were going to get something along the lines of "AS PER MY PREVIOUS EMAIL..."
That's the staff of a Legislative committee. I've worked with such staff before. Many are pretty young, just out of college. That the response to the Tax/Fee Issue was "No", tells me these weren't "professionals" at all.
OPPAGA is about as unbiased as you can get for a subunit of the Legislature. The other is the auditor general's office.
Yet the response to Tax/Fee concerns was "No".
The staff director of the committee. They serve at the whim of the Legislature and some staffers have connections.
And can be fired at a moment's notice.
It's not. Staff are hired by the committee staff director, who is hired by the Committee chair. Some are there because of connections. Some are there because they are competent and have the necessary education and experience the Committee needs.

Strange, when I need to make a decision on an important matter I try to get as much info without slant as I can. Getting told what you want to hear certainly isn't the process I would use or trust as a basis to enable me to make the best choices.The staff director of the committee.

That’s the problem. They weren’t concerned with making the best choices. They rarely are

This is why the prior research from 2004 is still relevant. It does touch on some of these issues, so just reading that would have presented challenges and debunked some of the claims (assuming they’re not knowingly lying about how the District operates). Depending on which cases move forward the State can find themselves having to justify ignoring previous work.
