Wow. Professional language, relevant caselaw, and actual pertinent facts instead of the hyperbole, name calling, and misinformation of the opponent's filings.
It really says something when the government's filings read more like the wacko amicus briefs than they do Disney's filings. Unless the judge is completely biased, I don't see how he dismisses the case.
On a related note, if the motion to dismiss is denied, what are the chances DeSantis & Co. will try to judge shop again with another recusal motion?

Why do people keep referring to the CFTOD as OCTOD?
Because the board has already made significant cuts to the proposed budget (to the tune of over $16 million) but that was never mentioned regardless of all of the “transparency”.
Most also have liquor sales that play a part there too.
However, in Florida they are not part of the grocery store as the law requires a physical separation with a separate entrance. So Publix liquors are usually the shop next door.

So if they made cuts of $16M... and are raising the budget $11M... that means in year one they've added $27million in new spending - or a 21% increase in new Operating Expenses...
I’m sure it will all come out at some point, because if we’ve learned anything about this new board, it’s all about transparency
This is true of Osceola County SO also.
It all depends how a county has it set up with FHP. Probably half the counties in FL have the FHP handle all the reporting because those reports have to be sent to FHP in the end.

What makes you say that?

Prayers and blessings should not be allowed in a public schools. This isn’t a freedom of speech issue.
They are, as long as it is the student and not sponsored or endorsed by faculty within school hours.
They are also allowed in public board meetings which is all my response was pointing out. It's legal.

I was responding to what you had written and you did not say anything about after hours. You said, “I am not trusted to allow/endorse, or practice that free speech in a classroom“.
Right. What I said was accurate.
I only posted to inform that is the difference most people do not know about.
Cheers.

"Disney is not the only taxpayer in this district. We have other taxpayers, but $8 million was being used for law enforcement services exclusively on Disney properties. And that doesn't make any sense to me, and it doesn't make any sense to anybody on our team that's looked at it."
Because this team is a bunch of political hacks that couldn't run a 2 property hoa. Disney owns a little over 17k acres of the almost 25k acres. RCID "owns" 7k, which is mostly protected lands. The state owns about 550 acres, which is any State roads. The remaining 109 acres is owned by Orange County, Palm Hospitality Company, the celebration Company, and district board
member. The only other taxpayers are corporate tenants of Disney.
It makes sense for that cost when the other taxpayers own / lease a rounding error amount of land.

Yes, and that is where the officer usually hangs out between the two in my experience.
Beer and wine are however allowed to be sold in the main store.

No one is subsidizing Disney. The taxpayers that they are referring to are the businesses that have lease agreements with Disney. It isn't anyone outside of the RCID that is paying the bill. And this is just a stunt. The appointed board is going to have disney pay the county directly even though disney pays all but a few percentage of the budget of the RCID.
In the stores I patronize, they hover near the customer service desk.
Florida allows retailers like grocery stores - Costco too - to obtain a license to sell only beer and wine. A separate package store and license is required to sell liquor. There was a bill in the Legislature a year or so ago that would allow grocery stores to sell liquor, provided it was a separate area that was walled with a door to enter. Never passed.
California allows grocery stores and member clubs like Costco to possess liquor licenses to sell liquor within the store, as opposed to having a separate store. Didn't have to go to a separate package store to pick up your scotch or vodka at Safeway...it was in the liquor department. Florida is a tad behind the times. Blue laws existed in the state through the 1980s. And there are still dry counties.
