You can’t spell grift without RIt’s a grift.

I can't find a single case of this happening in the past.
There is an exception for those running for US Congress (not the Senate), but as far as I can find, what you posted is untrue.
Yes, because he announced that he wouldn't run for re-election, and as such would be completing his term.Happened in 2008 with Charlie Crist...
It just feels like they're waiting for the damages to happen, so they have an even better case to have the entire law struck down.Maybe this sounds cynical, but anything the board pays money for is ultimately paid for by Disney so if they want to hurt the company why not hire a bunch of useless consultants who I’m sure will be “friends of the program“. No clue why you would need an urban planning company for a district with less than 100 residents. Nothing urban about it and no need for much planning
That would assume that they're acting on good faith.Not sure. Maybe that item is just “for discussion” and won’t be voted on this meeting.
They opened one of those recreational dispensaries right down the street from my office. Really need to stop in there one of these daysIt could be that the edible I took a short while ago is finally kicking in, but here's my though on how this whole thing plays out:
Disney is biding their time, waiting to let actual damages accumulate, then methodically sues Ron DeSantis, The State of Florida, CFTOD (the entity), and the CFTOD board members individually for the damages caused by their violation of the company's first, fourth, and fourteenth amendment rights.
At the same time, Disney will begin to donate insane amounts of money via dark-money groups to friendly politicians, and whoever is challenging those that made this law happen. They might even fund one of the movements to split the state into two, pushing Disney into the far more liberal southern half of the state.
And though enough Disney funded candidates will win to eliminate the state's republican supermajority, but not enough will win to shift control or split the state.
The case eventually ends up in SCOTUS, where Disney will likely win. But it will have been a pyrrhic victory, because in doing so, they will have successfully alienated half of the country and trashed their liquidity.
Now in a financially precarious situation, Disney gets split up, and we end up with a Disney now strictly as a movie studio, theme park/cruise operator, and licensing company; while other Disney brands and products are divested or sold to competitors/new entrants, who pay Disney fees for usage of their IP.
Meanwhile DeSantis, now term limited, never makes it to POTUS since no liberal or centrist would vote for him, and possibly settles for a return to congress from one of the districts he gerrymandered into existence.
Oh, and if Disney were to lose the case, that means the first, fourth, and fourteenth amendments are bunk, and you should leave the country immediately carrying only what you need.
Just wondering, how is the fight playing out in the ... um, let's call it, "other media"?Anyway, as discussed earlier Disney is definitely playing the long game here. The potential massive lawsuit is a nuclear option that I’m sure isn’t plan A. Disney so far has played this as well as they can. Remember that the biggest goal for Disney is to win in the court of public opinion. They want to come off as the victim and the Governor and his cronies as extremists. So far that’s very much the national perception. Disney continues to point out their great relationship with FL, their future spending in the state and their future jobs added and how they are moving forward business as usual. They come across as calm, level headed and in control while the other side appears triggered, irrational and now a bit fanatical in this dispute. It’s a really good look for Disney.

Bingo.Or does the board report to no one other than the governor?
In the gov debate with Charlie C, DeSantis refused to answer if he will honor the four-year term as gov if he is elected. We know its a matter of time until he announces his next plan of himself.It just feels like they're waiting for the damages to happen, so they have an even better case to have the entire law struck down.
This is Florida. Disney will win.
Disney was a part of Florida long before DeSantis's parents set foot in the sunshine state, and they'll be here long after he's moved on to his next grift.
Amazing piece of democracyBingo.
The 2007 'change' never happened because he didn't pick Crist.Florida may tweak resign-to-run law to aid a potential DeSantis 2024 run, leaders say
The current law says individuals running for federal office must resign. But some lawmakers think even under that law, DeSantis could run.www.tampabay.com
It wouldn’t be the first time the Legislature has changed the rules to benefit a candidate they liked. In 2007, the resign-to-run law was tweaked to remove the requirement for federal candidates, as then-Gov. Charlie Crist, a Republican at the time, was being eyed as a running mate for Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential bid. Lawmakers in later years continued to tweak the law. In 2018, lawmakers explicitly outlined the requirement for candidates running for federal office to resign and removed an exception for presidential and vice presidential candidates, saying federal candidates must resign no later than 10 days before qualifying for office. A Senate analysis of the 2018 bill said it would likely reduce the number of special elections.
You can stand up at the meeting during the public statement section and say whatever you want. They don't have to do anything with what you said and can ignore you.All these changes they’re proposing at the next meeting… can anyone object to them? Lake Buena Vista residents, landowners in the district? Or does the board report to no one other than the governor?
All of the changes are allowed by the reconstitution law. The only way to meaningfully object is to challenge the law itself. Disney allowing horrible precedents to be set which only encourages escalation.All these changes they’re proposing at the next meeting… can anyone object to them?

i would hazard a guess that those that do rundianey are generally not in the target audience that ronny is playing to. if he did do another revenge move like that on Disney, i doubt ot waould have much effect on his numbers, unfortunatlyThe blowback on the runDisney community would be crazy. I am only just starting to get into in-person racing I really hope this doesn't happen.
