Yeah, a discussion that always seems to escalate into a political p***ing match before the mods shut it down. Let us make a compromise. How about they lock the thread so that no more responses can be posted? Does this work for you?šŸ˜‚

No because it would shut down all the valuable discussion that has occurred and still continues. What works better is if you don't click on the thread if you don't want to see the political ******* match before the mods delete it. Solves the problem, doesn't it? Just pretend that the thread is locked!

Are you suggesting that people take responsibility for what they read themselves and don't feel they can stop reading it unless someone makes it impossible? That would imply that people are intelligent (they are not) or capable of having their own opinions (also not a chance) or truly believe that the world revolves around them personally and they won't stop until everyone admits that they are always right and no other opinion matters.

The full agenda packet for the CFTOD Board of Supervisors meeting this Wednesday, February 28 is now available at this link.

This packet includes a Public Facilities Report, prepared by District staff, which begins on page 78.

"The Reedy Creek Improvement District was previously not required to complete a Public Facilities Report under Section 189.08(9) F.S. As part of the ratification process whereupon the former Chapter 67-764, Laws of Florida, was ratified and amended by Chapter 2023-5, Laws of Florida, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, formerly the Reedy Creek Improvement District, is no longer exempt from completing a public facilities report. Therefore, this report shall serve as the initial public facilities report for the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.

Thanks for posting this. Going through this does seem to answer one of my questions about the district. Given the new new leadership structure would they continue to issue new bonds or solely rely on revenue generated from fees and ad valorem?

Pages 87-88 show some of the projects they will be pursuing mainly with Western Way and World Dr. Looks like they expect to issue new bonds to fund these projects.

Glen Gilzean has been appointed as Orange County's new supervisor of elections.

Two questions I have is:
Must he leave the CFTOD or is he allowed to do both?
My second question got deleted by the moderator, I will try again.
I wonder how this will effect the general election in Florida this year?

I don't know the answer to that. His appointment as Supervisor of Elections lasts until the person who is elected during the November election takes office in January 2025.

Edited to add - here's Glen Gilzean's announcement on Facebook.

"During this transition, rest assured that my commitment remains unwavering. I'll be working closely with the Board of Supervisors to ensure a seamless shift while upholding our standards of excellence. I trust in Paula J. Hoisington's leadership as Acting District Administrator during my unavailability."

A little unclear if he will be permanently gone from CFTOD. The "during my unavailability" seems to suggest he is temporarily stepping aside for the new job.

Likely because he expects to be back once a new SOE is elected in November. Not sure if he plans to run, but if he did, it's unlikely he would win.

Certainly we are a democratic republic, but I've been alive a pretty long time and this is one of, if not the first time, I've heard someone refer to our form of government like that purposefully. I consider it more of a Freudian slip, but that's just my interpretation.

It's important to remember that DeSantis is a Harvard Law trained lawyer. DeSantis is making a specific point with his choice of language. He's actually quoting the the Guarantee Clause, which states:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government..."

Any state government that does not have a republican form of government is definitionally unconstitutional. This (rightly or wrongly) undergirds many of the arguments against the RCID. While it might be tempting to ascribe a partisan meaning to the term, I think you actually miss what he is really saying. While not the best campaigner, he's a crafty operator who knows how to work the legal system (especially within his state). This makes him dangerous opponent for Disney. To Disney's credit, I don't get the sense Disney is underestimating him.

I think many confuse republican with Republican. A comparable example is catholic with Catholic. One is the church body as a whole. The other is a denomination. So, in this case, one is a form of government. The other is a political party. When DeSantis says "republican form of government", he's purposely using the small "r" version. You shouldn't need to speak legal-ease to understand this.
