No direct flights from MCO either. Closest airport with flights is Tampa to Tallahassee. Not a fun drive either.
Only one direct flight from Tampa to Tallahassee. All other have a stop in Miami, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, etc.

CFTOD board members aren't getting paid either, and I'm sure the per diem sucks.
If the fact his wife was appointed to the court was the reason to resign, why not just say that? There has to be more to it, because no one would question that. Plus it can't be the travel issue because they can use zoom and still vote and be part of the meeting.

None of them want that job badly enough to super commute or try to get a waiver.
"Moving" to Tallahassee was an easy out. I'd say Sasso never looked happy at any of these meetings but he looks positively ecstatic when placed next to

No pay and no power and lots of depositions, court appearances, and discovery?
Its a wonder they all don't quit.

Ron Peri and Bridget Ziegler are the question marks for me. Those two - the ones who notably got the initial half term appointments, not the full 4 years - are the ones who were definitely there to "influence" Disney's content. They've both insinuated that this has become a waste of their time.
Excellent…. The plan is working

I’m just glad we have Garcia there inventing urban planning right before our eyes.
“We find this HiGhLy UnUzHoOoOaL”
I understand prisons are low income housing.
Under Garia, the CFTOD hired a zoning "expert" to look into changes for low income housing. If as you claim this is BS, then he is liable for the wasted money billed to the taxpayers. His legal responsibility is to do what is best for the district and therefore he would not be following the law and his legal responsibilies. Therefore he can be held personally liable along with the other Board members who voted to hire the expert. Plus if they did make changes which can be proven were done to harm property owners solely to punish Disney, they can also be held personally liable. The law protecting them for doing their jobs does not protect them from any action they take while on the Board, only what is reasonable.

The District is responsible for land use regulations. Hiring an urban planner is absolutely something the District should being doing. It is not in itself a smoking gun or harm as you falsely keep claiming. Reedy Creek Improvement District hired urban planners and experience was required for some of the zoning commissioners.
And you’re just wrong about what triggers personal liability. Zoning is at times contrary to the desires of property owners and potentially detrimental to their interests. That’s not new, it should not be illegal and definitely should not trigger personal liability.
She's currently the chief judge for the 6th DCA. Perhaps waiting for a case she's sitting to conclude?
There are no oral arguments currently for June. The FL Supreme Court typically sits August through June.
Aungst is the board member with a land-use law practice. Maybe he's providing free counsel to Garcia.
Unless it is done to retaliate against one property owner and harms others. Zoning changrd can and should be done at timrs but all the land within WDW is what most people believe and want a vacation bubble. For years it has been advertised as a vacation kingdom. For DeSantis to want to change this and claim it is only to put Disney under the same laws as Universal and then allow Universal to have a new special district also shows this whole fight is designed to harm Disney.
Still curious where this housing would go. Where does the district own enough land to do that?
I'm sure those in neighborhoods circling WDW feel the same.
Incorrect. The Board has the authority to develop land use regulations. Local governments routinely look at land use and zoning regulations, many times at the behest of a developer or business (think Amazon).
There's a concept in law called agency. Board members serve as agents of the local government - OCTOD - and thus have the legal authority to act on behalf of the District. As long as a member is acting in his/her official capacity, they aren't necessarily personally liable for actions taken. What they CANNOT DO is:
- Enrich themselves at the expense of the appointing authority.
- Transfer the principal or company’s properties to themselves.
- Carry out actions for the appointing authority that they haven’t been granted permission to perform.
No one on that Board is an expert in that area. The District's Advisory Planning Board members are now the members of the Board of Supervisors. Perhaps firing the "experts" wasn't a good idea.
