Then don't.

I chose to be informed rather than turn to horrible websites for my 'analysis'

watching this from the start... OMG I don't think I can stomach this anymore. The length they obviously are going to seed "public comment" with shills with coordinated talking points is sickening. To preach "transparency" and then to have people act in a coordinated way and pretend not to be is disgusting. I struggle to even sit through this.

It's just the way the game is played. I've wasted hours of my life listening to every single dues paying member of the SEIU address the LA County Board of Supervisors with the same prepared statement. All for a 15 second hit on the local news.

Doesn't change reality.

Agreed, it is really hard to sit through. This guy now spending 15 minutes going on about the credentials of the report authors. Its ridiculous.

Eminent domain? what the what? Why would that expertise be needed? Do they plan on running a road down MSUSA?
Is the prison going in TOT? In the spirit of Christmas: Is the workhouse going in the All Stars

I'm still struggling to find time to go through and make all my notes on the report.. let alone the exhibits. So much to cut through... but given the wording of the summary I can imagine what today's brief will sound like.

This narrative that the district needs to solve regional housing, community services, and transportion needs is utterly rediculous. It's a special district with a well defined purpose - not a general purpose county government trying to be the savior of central florida.

I can't wait until the district starts trying to seize land and create all kinds of other insane 'partnerships' to build their housing agenda.

Don't worry, I have all the local government, taxation, legal and ethical experts here for my unbiased analysis.

Republicans now love eminent domain for some reason..

I think we have more qualified people here than on the CFTOD board. I'm not even joking.

If they were to try this all businesses in the state should be scared not just Disney

Including but not limited to at least one that has spent decades in the Florida government, several lawyers and locals who know the area

It was mentioned as one of the areas of expertise of one of the authors of the propaganda piece. Uncertain of the time but it was right before my post if that helps

What a colossal waste of time this is.

New rule. We all hang on your yacht drinking mojitos when watching these in the future

Arms length fashion can lead to corruption. Feature not a bug imho

We have a new one "residents" majority resident in the district is DISNEY.
When insert bad word is this going to be over. I want to watch the season finale of the Santa Clauses or get a root canal

I don't mean to be rude, but there's no requirement that anyone has to watch this meeting. You can't watch a group of partisans conduct a public meeting then be shocked and disappointed when they act like partisans.

Ultimately, this has zero impact on any of our lives. Disney will continue to exist in Florida no matter what these clowns do, and whether you watch or not, they will proceed with their plans. As at least one member has proven through their public comments at the meetings, the board does not care about what the public thinks.

In other words, spare yourself the frustration, especially when it comes to things that have no bearing on your life or the life of your family. I think everyone has sufficient information at this point to make an informed decision as to the only thing one can actually do to help rectify this situation - vote.

Great thing about watching afterward is the ability to change the playback speed. Still, there's a LOT of wasted air. SMH

If this person is to be believed the one coving the Daytona Speedway also needs to go.
Yup all businesses in Florida need to be paying attention
Yup that financial advantage of paying extra taxes

Watching the abuse of government power is something everyone should watch and watch closely whether it ruins someone’s morning or not.
