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

[Brian]

Per DeSantis just now: Toll roads are off the table for now. Long story short: he wouldn't want it to apply to residents, then there's equal protection issues, plus the legislature wasn't happy about the idea to begin with.

 

[Prince-1]

I smell a Disney lawsuit coming soon. I mean this nonsense and Desantis's government overreach was always going to be decided in the courts.

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.

Maybe the people who are flooded should say something against him and get his attention.

Apparently its the only way.

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.

Yeah, let's not mention that there was a massive power failure in the area at the time due to storms.

Right?

To add to this…..as parts of the state is underwater and the insurance market collapses this is how he spends his time in his first return to the state in weeks. Great leadership.

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

Does he listen to himself like at all???? How do people fall for this stuff?

 

[Stripes]

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

So much for ”leveling the playing field.”

 

[Mr. Stay Puft]

The speakers he's had to follow-up on his speech are all admitting that this is all pure retaliation against Disney for having a "woke" ideology. By Disney promoting inclusiveness in its parks and in its media.

This is really frightening stuff.

Right?

Is that what caused the doors to fling open while the monorail was in motion? Or the crumbling pylon in World Nature?

Or really the myriad of other problems facing the monorail system?

Put your political biases aside. The monorails need some work, and I would welcome state oversight, even under these circumstances.

If/when any of this goes to court, How much of this so called speech can be used as evidence against De......./Floriduh?

 

[asianway]

Disney has essentially been paying double taxes

How so?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Ding ding ROUND TWO!

Im not a lawyer, but I think Disneys lawyers can put whatever they’d like in discovery as evidence of whatever number of things they could be claiming

 

[mkt]

How so?

They paid to Orange/Osceola Counties and to RCID.

 

[LittleBuford]

The standout to me was “the district will look into allowing other businesses to operate on district lands or maybe even a state prison”

Wait, is the bolded serious?!

 

[mikejs78]

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

I'm trying to figure out when the legislature will have the time. The session ends soon, and they still have a budget to pass.and change the law to allow DeSantis to stay in office when he runs for POTUS.

 

[Figgy1]

Wait, is the bolded serious?!

Yup

 

[Stripes]

DeSantis did specifically mention that the board’s lawyers believe there is a legal issue regarding the notice being mailed to affected property owners.

If true, that is bad news.

He also mentioned there being an issue with conflict of interest, but that’s not going to work.

Would have to think the retaliation aspect of this will play heavily in a legal case. Of course discovery and admissible evidence are two different things. But you'd have to think this would be germane to any lawsuit.

Not to mention the insurance crisis with hurricane season coming up
