New drop on Pacer in Disney v DeSantis, court allowing both parties to work on a motion to dismiss - nothing to be scheduled until this part's over.

Board Chair Garcia is a lawyer.

I was only speaking of the public comments that they all make - not the official court documents. I seriously doubt that Garcia would lie in a court document, but has no problem continuing to lie in public statements.

Board Chair Garcia is a lawyer.

Or in his own words, "half-a-lawyer."

I believe he's a trial lawyer.

Lawyers are held to a higher standard than laymen. But as another prominent Republican will find out shortly, public comments can hurt your case. Especially when one disparages the judge, prosecutors, evidence, etc.

Nothing is happening in the federal case until DeSantis’ motion to dismiss Judge Walker from the case is decided, per Walker’s notice today.

So apparently the Presidential candidate announcement is coming tomorrow on Twitter Spaces. We'll see if he has anything to say about Disney or if, unlike the other guy, he's learned to keep to the the script.

I don’t think he knows how to keep to the script either.

I heard semi-recently that the bill that would allow him to run while remaining Governor hasn’t been signed yet. Don’t know the validity of that. I can’t find any proof that it was/wasn’t signed

Yeah, Marc Elias brought that up yesterday, so that's why it's going around, I think. He's been watching because of the other provisions in the bill. Once it's signed than his team can file their anticipated lawsuits. It looks like it got sent to the Governor today

Steve Schussler, whose company operates The Boathouse and many other on-property restaurants, is not happy with DeSantis or the new board.

Ron DeSantis thinks his feud with Disney will pay off. Here's why

The Florida governor is making a high-stakes gamble about what really matters to Republican voters.

www.bbc.com

All of Disney Springs is owned by the Disney Company, and Mr DeSantis' attempt to wrest oversight of the land from Disney - with accompanying hints of new regulations, taxes, toll roads and even prison construction nearby - has prompted Mr Schussler to speak out against what he says are the governor's strong-arm, anti-business tactics.

"We as business owners feel disgusted and betrayed by the governor's proposed taxes and rhetoric," he says, adding that his only political goal is to have "peace, quiet, harmony and not to be attacked".

Mr Schussler is the kind of businessman who might naturally be a Republican - in favour of small, less intrusive government, reasonable taxes and limited regulation. He's once donated money to a Republican senator's campaign and features a quote from Donald Trump on the back cover of his autobiography.
Now he bristles at allegations that he's siding with Disney as part of a woke liberal agenda.

"How is it a liberal agenda to not want to be overtaxed?" he asks. "To not want to be threatened with having a prison build adjacent to your land? How is it an agenda to not want your employees and guests to have to pay special fees?"

Not surprising. He has business interests that he doesn't want being messed with...

And a completely sympathetic story.

DeSantis’ war is creating collateral damage and harming businesses that literally had nothing to do with this fight.

Yes
and I wish news sources would not just keep repeating the lie about Disney being subsidized without correcting it. Yes report somebody said it but those statements should also be fact checked/corrected

 

[Stripes]

Reminder that the next board meeting is tomorrow morning at the RCID Administration Building.

Anybody going?

Upon presentation, he has 15 days to act on it when the Legislature is not in Session, so in this case until June 7.

He has to sign it before formal notice of intent to run to the FEC no?
