They were originally key components to the structure and authority of the Reedy Creek Improvement District by delegating powers to the district.

Could Disney still refer to the area as LBV even if it’s dissolved? Like how Celebration isn’t technically it’s own town?

Hm, so what are the implications of dissolving them?

Now they’re pretty much rumps because of the way the district was reconstituted. I think there’s some quiet recognition that they’re a threat to the reformed district as their constitutional right of home rule has clearly been violated. This though needs some distance from the district shenanigans because cities being dissolved for disagreeing with the state is much easier to understand and more likely to provoke an uproar.

Sure. There are all sorts of communities that people refer to even though they don’t have a legal existence. Addresses would involve some say from the US Post Office but they tend to continue recognizing place names and there are places where they’ll accept multiple place names.

There's nothing to say that Florida cant establish very short (as in mear feet long) toll roads into the district and charge non-residents $10 bucks a pop to enter it.

Which just goes to show how stupid this whole thing is. Punishing Disney hurts Florida.

This was always a mutually beneficial agreement and looking at it logically, there was never a way that going after the state's big tourism draw would somehow benefit the state.

Sadly, it's about politics, and it happens because so many people continue to believe the lies about Disney "not paying their fair share of taxes".

Hence, we get policy that is bad for Florida because enough people believe the fiction that it isn't.

The tourist industry, and companies like Disney, are the REASON Florida has no state income tax. It's a huge tax cash cow for the state.

No, no, no. The governor and other state leaders and lawmakers are lying. They’re not doing this for the reasons they keep saying they’re doing this. They’re doing it for other reasons. And they have to keep changing as many laws as it takes because that’s the rule of law, you keep changing them until you like the outcome, which has nothing to do with the lies they keep repeating and is instead about other things.

DeSantis is acting like nothing has happened and characterizing the latest developments as a "little back and forth with the state." He is basically claiming the win still. Sounds like someone who is backed into a corner to me and has no choice but to sweet this under the rug as best as possible.

Gotta love all the cheers of the crowd, they have no clue. He also basically admits here that signing the bill was direct retaliation.

EDIT: He even acknowledges that companies have a right to speak out on whatever issues they see fit.

Its ok, when it gets into the courts they will just paint the courts as villians, skewed, not with you, blah blah blah. The script is always the same

A lot of those members of the audience at his press conferences are paid supporters. It's all PR all the time with him.
