News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

[mightynine]

I guess I got ahead of myself calling them shrewd. It explains why the $8 million wasn’t readily apparent on the budget summary.

So then what’s the game here? Are they trying to sow discord between Disney and their tenants?

I saw one reporter tweet, or x, or whatever that CFTOD would use the $8 million for their lawsuits against Disney, but I dunno how accurate that was.

Well that would explain why i could not find a meaningful bucket in the district’s budget.

 

[flynnibus]

So all that crowing about "saving" money in that area was BS? I'm shocked!

It’s spin…

The rates are all rolled up into a combined bill the constituents see.

Again not explicitly - but not incorrect necessarily either. The truth is the district will offset new spending (their legal bills) by reducing expenses.

The real lie though is calling out savings in your budget… that isn’t even part of your budget.

You'd think the Board would have figured that out in reviewing the financials.

If the District isn't paying for the cost, they've got no $8 million to shift.

Apparently the Keystone cops were more competent that these yokels...

As Garcia would say, it’s “highly uNuZhoOal”

Golden Oak near Port Orleans is on property. The homeowners whose homes range from $5M - $30M live in the gated community. Most if not all are not Disney execs some using Golden Oak as their second or third residence.

Where are you getting those figures from? I’m seeing $2.5m

Nice assumption but wrong.

I’m confused, what’s wrong? You don’t believe she can see fireworks from her porch?

I've worked with lawyers who make you wonder how they graduated law school, much less passed the state bar, but this guy's a fool. Isn't he the who's a real estate or land use attorney?

Is he the one who said he’s half a lawyer? I think someone else here said they knew which half lol.

They're political animals, not administrators.

They're pandering to their base and stacking their "2023 far right GOP" bona-fides for potential future runs for office.

It doesn't take a genius to graduate from law school or pass the bar. You just have to do the work.

I got an email from Golden Oak regarding two homes for resale. I believe one was close to $5 million and the 9000 square foot one well past $10 million.

I’m confused, what’s wrong? You don’t believe she can see fireworks from her porch?

Well, if a certain former governor could see Russia from her house, I can certainly see fireworks launched up into the air less than a mile away. I can hear them too.

I can see them from the roof of my house. But I'm also a little further away from the Disney bubbles in Winter Garden and Windermere.

As demonstrated by a certain government CEO.

I don't even have to climb up onto my roof. Surprisingly I get a better viewpoint from the location of our mailboxes.

I believe Felix Unger has some thoughts on the board

Time to watch out for the next legislative session if someone tries to introduce legislation to disband the cities of bay lake and lake Buena Vista.

The cities were always fall back options.

I love Garcia’s fascination with calling the new guy CEO.

Imagine if your town or HOA called called the staff CEO…
