Eh, I wouldn't be so sure. As soon as the media was occupied with other events last night, he quietly filed a bill to repeal the resign-to-run law Florida currently has, so he can remain Gov while running and when he comes home with his tail between his legs.
Source?
Government appropriating funds to pay lawyers - aka ( the taxpayers ).
There are other things they can do, just depends on who does it.
I seriously hate the way this is being characterized in the media: "loophole" or "snuck in" or "quietly."DeSantis warns Disney World he'll take a third swing at them after the company wrote in a loophole that collapsed his takeover plan
DeSantis twice tried to enact retribution against Walt Disney World after it said it would fight a measure that limited instruction about gender identity and sexual orientation in classrooms.news.yahoo.com
Why are they taking issue with the covenants?
IIRC, it was because there is something to prevent them in regards to special districts.
We close on a house in a couple weeks. You better believe we drive by it every so often, just to make sure it's still standing.
Congrats!!We close on a house in a couple weeks. You better believe we drive by it every so often, just to make sure it's still standing.
Thank you, we aren't moving.
The complication of that is that according the local tax collectors, Florida statute prevents them from raising taxes enough to pay for those bonds, which means services have to be reduced to offset the additional bond payment expense the counties would have to absorb.
Yeah, there's just no way that's an option. Having this end with Disney essentially getting a $1 billion tax break would be a massive loss. I see a lot of DeSantis pundits saying that he will now "dissolve Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista." What would this even accomplish in this scenario?The complication of that is that according the local tax collectors, Florida statute prevents them from raising taxes enough to pay for those bonds, which means services have to be reduced to offset the additional bond payment expense the counties would have to absorb.

I was actually just wondering yesterday, what are the benefits to Disney of having the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista vs essentially just being an unincorporated area?
It’s even worse because they completely ignore that this occurred while the state was trying to be sneaky. The issues with dissolution were known for months and nothing was with not just Reedy Creek Improvement District but the other districts as well. Then it was pushed through a special session in days. It was the legislature that didn’t provide notice of their plans. And while much is being made of the agreement being finalized right before the legislature voted, that’s not what makes it law. There was nearly a month between this happening and governor getting around to scheduling his little show. And to top it off they keep repeating the lie about it being a special tax district. Repeating lies at face value isn’t being objective. It isn’t “giving both sides,” it’s just helping spread bull.
They were originally key components to the structure and authority of the Reedy Creek Improvement District by delegating powers to the district.
