The sentence context here conveys that this gift created a conflict and that it is bad. But, is that really true? It's true that Disney made the gifts. With conditions and restrictions. It was clearly done to satisfy the requirement that board members owned property within the district...

How come every sentence that includes "self governing" in it uses the rest of the sentence to create context that this is a bad thing? For instance, I've lived in towns where the town was self governing and elected its own town council. I've lived in unincorporated land where the county was...

What Walt had visions for and what the RCID was set up to achieve were different things. They did not have the same requirements. Do any of those videos actually tie the two together? Or are they just suggestive?

What's the tourism or general economic impact of say 100 or 500 houses (or even 1,000 dense condos, or 3,000 high rise apartments) vs an additional theme park? I thought tourism was a key goal of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District. I've never seen some housing attract more...

Can you provide a reference to support any of these claims? Something in the charter maybe? News stories from the time period? Documentaries that delve into the details? Court case findings from previous changes? Opinion pieces from prior to 2022? Talking points from politicians? Crazy...

Is the a max per company or a max per violation? As a max per company across all violation, that would be less than $200K a year. A big fat nothing. If that is a max per violation, there is no top end total. If they find just 6 violations, that's over a $1M a year to just ignore them...

An unconscious person would definitely be slow..... :)

The unconscious person is charged.

I think the stories will be something like this: It's very small percentage of guests who are impacted. Almost nobody compared to the daily attendance at the parks. Disney guests are already paying for an expensive vacation. They can afford cost. Disney guests are already paying for an...

Is that even a position of the party? The answer is and has always been that it is fine when they do it and bad when the other guy does it. They might dress it up with some excuses like when the executive and the majority legislature is the same or some other rational. But, it all boils down...

What makes you think there are any of those to select from? There's some that might fit that category, but they all have one of two possible flaws. 1 - They came out as moderate and pushed back on some crazy position. They've all be called RINO now, not really Reps and hence will not be a...

You are 900+ pages and 18,000+ posts in. With lots and lots of direct references to the RCID charter not being about creating an actual EPCOT city. With nobody able to cite anything saying a city was needed, and lots of cites, directly from the RCID charter that tourism is the goal. At this...

Does it really though? It clearly tells the board to not comply with an agreement. But, does it actually excuse them from any consequences of that? Does it create any new consequences for complying with an agreement and ignoring this law? It is clearly inconsistent with contract law.

The 4 months part seems mostly useless. Nothing there sounds like anything is automatic. It reads like they're supposed to review within 4 months, with the ability to adapt the agreement as-is. Doing nothing would seem to mean they are directed to not comply. Waiting longer than 4 months, it...

That's an interesting distinction. It's a lose lose proposition then. The only option is a lawsuit. A board complying with this would be sued for violating the contract. A violation the law seems to require them to do. A board complying with the contract would be violating this law. Does...

So, it doesn't require some action by the new board to undo a prior contract, but instead requires the new board to take an action to confirm the prior contract is good? That's a subtle but important difference. Much like all the subtle nuances in the RCID structure that always matter. With...

Isn't there a time limit on how long the board has to use the new law to to void the contract? How long after the change in board I think. The state case is unlikely to be decided prior to that deadline. Unless it's thrown out immediately in Disney's favor with the legal equivalent of "what...

A gift (link), just for you (and anyone else that want to click it). https://wapo.st/425ZUea

Everyone always thinks the grass is greener someplace else, until they get there and find out it's the same but different and yet still the same. Using the premise that "FL is very business friendly if you aren’t on the Governors bad side". We're back at the obvious answer is change the...

Goofy with a hand crank drill and an auger bit on the bottom deck of each ship. Perhaps Donald duck in a sailor outfit. Obviously.
