Not the same example on the tableHe didn't seem to care 2 years ago. Wonder what changed?

The government never had any viable, legitimate reason for interfering in Disney's business so there's no reason to believe the district won't go back to being handled the way it was all those years. The only difference may be in rewarding connected politicians with lucrative, but powerless, appointments.
The underlying motive absolutely does exist. If anything, Disney is hedging that they need to show compliance.The reason this whole thing started no longer exists.

Correct, I doubt that’s the case though.If Disney wiggles its way back in to have control of their business, I guess that would be a win and back to their old situation, which worked fine for 50 years.
I hope so, it just seems so weird they would be willing to play ball with them all of a sudden?I have a feeling they had input in the new chain and administrator. Felt they were people they could work with. I could obviously be wrong.
I have to agree with this.There is almost zero concessions to Disney here… this looks like Disney just laying down its sword and taking the knee.
I hope so, but that’s up to the districtChange in leadership in the District amidst all of this being announced? Sounds like both parties are ready to move on and put the theatrics in the past. Back to business as usual.
I hope that’s the case, but again would the district be willing to play ball with Disney? After all they have done to undermine them?And Disney gets to move ahead with the MK, DHS, and AK work without artificial delays from the board.
CorrectExcept the board was prevented from accessing their most direct means of creating delays. Now they get to move forward with changing the comprehensive plan and development regulations, opening up that very ability to meddle.
CorrectThe development regulations can now be modified to require more approvals. This was the mechanism by which such censorship would have been pushed and is now available.
Definitely possibleThe timing of Gilzean and Garcia leaving just before everything changes can't be ignored. I would assume that is part of a backroom handshake agreement and not the official changes enacted now with the new members.
A pretty pessimistic take on this, but I get it. I just don't see a mutual settlement being set up this way.The underlying motive absolutely does exist. If anything, Disney is hedging that they need to show compliance.
Your interest in this issue is totally different from the interest that caused the government to interfere in the way the district was run. If you're saying something happened that could result in an ancillary benefit to good government, I won't dispute it but I doubt Disney will face any future interference on an actual as opposed to theoretical basis.That line of thinking is defeated by the district’s own ‘audit’ which claims all kinds of intermingling- which they claimed to have stopped. So how could it all be ‘as it was’ and also no impact?
Yes. Alternatively, can’t imagine the recent changes to the composition and leadership of the board were an accident.The giving up on the developer agreement I don’t see an issue with. That was always a maneuver to just hinder the new gov board. But trying actions of the fed suit into this settlement just seems like a total capitulation by Disney.

But I don’t think either of those things would drive the whole thing either. Both those guys are pawns who had zero independence or sustainable power without their puppet master.Yes. Alternatively, can’t imagine the recent changes to the composition and leadership of the board were an accident.
That’s not true. Let’s say for argument sake all lawsuits are dropped from both parties and they “make up” with one another.It's over. Think back to the way things were before it started. All of this was for nothing.
Totally agree there pretty much what everyone kinda knew was gonna end uo happening in the end sadly…It's over. Think back to the way things were before it started. All of this was for nothing.
Disney has deferred the federal lawsuit pending new negotiations and development agreements. It won't be dropped until those unspecified negotiations and new development agreements are completed.That’s not true.

Disney still has to deal with a new board puppeted by a man who doesn’t like them very much. It’s entirely possible this new board may try to be fair to Disney but track record seems to indicate this not be the case. It really comes down to what this new agreement entails as well as the board’s action.
This. I suspect they became tired of the swirl around the state lawsuit and the board’s unwillingness to cooperate in even the slightest measure, so they pushed for this leadership change and a re-writing of the disputed agreements to still ultimately be in their favor, with a potential revival of the federal suit as a means of keeping the content of the new agreements in check. I’ll be interested to see how they actually turn out.Disney has deferred the federal lawsuit pending new negotiations and development agreements. It won't be dropped until those unspecified negotiations and new development agreements are completed.
Correct, that’s why I mentioned in the post the hypothetical situation that both parties “make up”.Disney has deferred the federal lawsuit pending new negotiations and development agreements. It won't be dropped until those unspecified negotiations and new development agreements are completed.
Those detested lawyers will ensure that the parties "make up" in a way that precludes unfair interference by the board. That's just what those hated, money-grubbing folks do.Correct, that’s why I mentioned in the post the hypothetical situation that both parties “make up”.
The CTFOD seems like it's going to get the contract thrown out. Once that's completed, Disney will be forced to the bargaining table. This will probably not result in outcomes that Disney would like. By drawing up a new contract they have hope of finding a new path with CTFOD that will emerge out of a non hostile process. Either way this agreement is toast. Might as well conduct a tactical retreat rather than a hasty withdrawal.
I thought these agreements were untouchable and Disney was going to win in all their lawsuits?
Yeah but at the same time that is making a deal ghey can’t enforce and betting on the gov keeping his word
Yeah, the person on X who posted it was referring to the Disney fans who are trying to spin this into a big win, even though in any good settlement, neither side comes out happy. This one is certainly no exception.
One thing's for sure though: the lawyers always end up as #1.
