Yes, and while I haven't seen recent reporting about it, didn't RCID have relationships in good standing with both Orange and Osceola governments? Good relationships and cooperation between the governance entities is not the same as residents of Orange and Osceola counties that live outside the...

References to this goal? (There's a whole bunch of references throughout this thread that say this goal wasn't in the agreement or RCID legislation.)

So your issue is with Special Districts as a whole where voting is based on property ownership instead of residency? Just do away with them all then, since that's how most of them are structured. It is certainly not unique to RCID. That voting difference of property ownership instead of...

They're actively trying to imply incorrectly that its everybody and make people think that it's John Doe FL resident that is paying for stuff. When they say "tax payers" they're typically misdirecting on purpose to imply something false. Likewise, they'll say something like "Disney has...

Can you give an example of someone who is in the RCID local community? Someone within it's borders not a neighbor of the local community. Can you give an example of a voter that is within the RCID border, or even someone who pays taxes to create those funds being spent that doesn't already...

That's a bold stance. Certainly a novel one. So much for free markets, government choosing winners and losers, competition. Just straight out punish one of the largest sources of economic prosperity in the state. Let's see how that works out.

So, they don't believe in free markets or competition? Were those other agencies so inept that they couldn't compete with RCID and needed special government thumb on the scale favoritism to control the market outcome to find bond buyers?

In two different states I've lived, a town in one and a county in the other, local government has built parking infrastructure to attract businesses to a downtown area. In the county (which is significantly larger than the town), there have also been projects where the county made a developer...

As we watch the new board actions, I wonder how things would be different if RCID didn't exist. If none of the public roads within RCID were public roads at all, if RCID didn't own any property at all. If it was just one huge private compound owned by Disney. All private roads. Entrance...

Where I live, we have county owned parking garages, and private ones too. The county ones were funded and owned by the county as a way to increase services to constituents, along with improving business conditions to attract and have prosperous businesses. Presumably, it also generates more...

Because you're giving "use of the car" and not "the car" to the employee. You're effectively saying it costs the company $3 a day to provide that use. So, that's the taxable benefit to the employee. If you gave them the car. Not just to use, but to keep, transferred ownership. Then, the...

For those wondering: Then later: Searching for "train" or "training" in Exhibit 56 returns no hits. Searching for "training" in Exhibit 2-B doesn't show anything helpful.

The cost to buy a retail price has one value. The cost to the District to buy a discount pass and give it to someone has a different, lower value. The cost to Disney to "buy" an internal discounted pass and give it to someone had a even lower value. Probably near $0. It's a bigger issue for...

If we assume it's a taxable item. It would likely be a larger issue for companies buying the discount passes than for the park operators themselves (including Disney). If I buy an annual pass at retail price and give it to you as payment for work, that's effectively income a the retail pass...

If they're taxable income, it would be based on the cost of the passes, and not depend on how they're used or not. It's still a question on if they're really taxable or not. If you assume they are, RCID would need to report that value to employees. So, it's not just an accusation that RCID...

Not "On February 27, 2023" it didn't. If you play fast and loose with facts in an official report, what's the point. Other facts may be just as fast and loose. If the report reader needs to research them all, what's the point? Had the kept the first law, and then created a new district, sure...

I didn't get very far, but noticed this: That sounds factually incorrect to me. Didn't the law go out of it's way to say that RCID was not being removed and just renamed. That sounds like it is implying that a new district was created, to replace the one abolished above. Which, again, didn't...

Looks like cftod.org was registered on 2023-02-06 20:25:01 UTC. That's about when the law passed right? While oversightdistrict.org was registered on 2023-07-19 14:45:11 UTC, clearly wasn't a rush. Still, cftoversightdistrict.org is available right now for anyone that wants it. They probably...

Does that choice of domain name imply they have larger asperations than just "Central Florida Tourism"?

Who benefits from government services and who makes decisions about how those services are supported are two very different topics. In the examples you listed, there isn't one huge federal mandate setting the exact level of road, sewer, storm water, ambulance, or fire services. There isn't...
