News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

[Overlordkitty]

He doesn't know the specifics of what hes proposing?!? Throws it to the legislature.

 

[Figgy1]

How can the state enact regulations that apply to only one business legally?

 

[lazyboy97o]

He wants the state to take ownership and to develop on RCID land.

He wants to outsource all infrastructure projects out of Disney's control.

He wants to prohibit businesses like Disney from requiring masks. On their private property.

This is all scary stuff. There's more too.

Did he declare the agreements void or say the legislature will do that?

 

[Surferboy567]

ok wow, so only Disney for state inspections and not Sea World or Universal.

They can sue for that right?

You can say "What" on here.

How can the state enact regulations that apply to only one business legally?

Yeah I’m confused about this too. How can the legislature pass a law that applies to theme parks but only Disney.

How can the state enact regulations that apply to only one business legally? W the actual (word not allowed here)

Well he's using the "special district" as the limiting factor to exclude other parks.

I believe he said the legislature will do that, at his bequest

I've got words but would like my membership to remain in good standing

The EPCOT monorail line literally just stranded guests for over an hour this morning. The monorails are held together by duct tape and paperclips at this point.

Hey! Remember the time the doors just flung open while in motion?



Some additional oversight might be nice.

Ah yes the government always good at fixing problems now.

 

[GoofGoof]

Did he declare the agreements void or say the legislature will do that?

I think he said they were already void….because he says so. Then he said if that doesn’t work the legislature will void them.

Legislature.

Long time lurker here, but had to register to post because there isn’t much discussion elsewhere. As a Florida resident living right next to magic kingdom, this stuff is absolutely EXHAUSTING. We have a lot of real problems affecting people in this state, and this is how this clown decides to spend his time. Well, this and flying around the country on his “totally not running for president” book tour.

For those interested in the authority the state is claiming to void Disney's agreement with then-RCID, please see below:

I’ve already talked to a lawyer about this one. This statute is about development agreements not having license to violate general state or federal law. It does not give permission for the state to void specific contracts by fiat.

Disney will take the legislation to court.

 

[Adventureland Veranda]

This is all insanity. I thought he'd install $50 toll booths at the entrance to WDW. Don't give him any ideas.

"This is not California. This is the free state of Florida."

As a 40 year resident of California, and now an eight year resident of Florida, I can tell you that this is the major problem. California does not realize that there are states that have no interest in their agenda. Believe me, this Florida backlash is resonating back in California and I don’t think you’ll see California corporations making as many bonehead moves like Chapek did, anytime soon.

 

[LuvtheGoof]

I think he said they were already void….because he says so. Then he said if that doesn’t work the legislature will void them.

So now Florida is going to ignore federal contract laws.

Whatever happens, it is going up to SCOTUS for a final decision. Too many constitutional questions on state's power over businesses at stake.

I imagine homeowners in Florida would wish there was as much regulatory zeal surrounding home insurance operations in the Hurricane State.

I applaud the governor for helping to properly revalue a Harvard Law degree in real time.
