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

CFTOD is an instrument of the state. It is NOT local government.

RCID/CFTOD is the local government. Read the enabling legislation.

Here is opinion piece from Orlando Sentinel’s Scott Maxwell. It’s behind a paywall. If nonsubscribers cannot read it, I apologize.

Scott Maxwell: At DeSantis’ new Disney district, another political pal scores $495-an-hour gig in another no-bid deal

Maybe @mkt can provide a bypass.

In the case of special districts with these powers, the vast majority are elected by the landowners on a one acre, one vote basis.

Not to mention the fact that not a single district in FL with ad velorum taxing authority has an appointed board.

The circus is in town, direct link.

haha they are criticizing RCID for awarding contracts to preferred suppliers in the past. That's rich given what has come to light recently about CFTOD awarding contracts to DeSantis allies.

Hats off to Debbie McDonald for showing up each meeting and saying what needs to be said.

Is she a citizen who lives in the area? Someone with particular expertise? Just wondering.

"we were asked to cover more of our expenses then we had previously"
(with regards to increasing their building dept fees)

So... a change in posture... saying it but not saying it?

I suppose that if a bunch of disgruntled people leave then the average morale of those left (the gruntled) would go up.

I was about to reply the same thing.

Well I give him some props for some stunt in terms of his 'pink slips'

But this guy appears to be a one-man band in terms this PAC he's setup. I certainly wouldn't encourage anyone to give their money to someone without a lot more substance. He's got a long history of political activism, campaigning, etc.. but nothing credible or transparent about these two amendments he's campaigning around or his PAC.

Plus.. I have a serious conflict with someone soliciting people to "sign a petition" without actually showing you what said petition is, or any disclosures about how your collected information will be used.

But in today's world.. it's commonplace to put out the tip jar to get people to throw you money to help fund your pet projects.

As was already pointed out. With unhappy people leaving, morale goes up without the district doing anything. So what he said is true. From a certain point of view.
