Exactly. Everyone is caught up with the idea that this is against a corporation but it sets a precedent that can be used against you too. In this case the landowner in a district did something those in power didn’t like. So they seized control of that district, stripped it of its autonomy, and took all rights away from the landowners regarding their representation and governing.A lot of those additional powers were also delegated by the municipalities. They created two cities so that they could transfer those powers to the District. The new legislation seems to try and disconnect some of that delegation by granting the authority directly to the district and giving it power over the municipalities (which seems to consider cutting off the ability of having assets and authority devolved to the cities before this legislation comes into effects).
Every municipality should be horrified by this bill. It establishes that the state can just create districts that supersede the established local authority. A city can just be consumed by a district and relegated to a rump without any local process.
So let’s say the people of a particular city in Florida vote in a direction that the administration disagrees with…. The playbook has already been written and supported.
