lol.. only applying to special districts.. good luck arguing why they would have done this kind of change anyway, regardless of RCID transition.

I guess the days of having staff that kept the elected people from going completely off the deep end are over?

Of course this is coming from the desk of the guy who brought you the "Ultimate Cancel Act" -- so I guess I should know better than expect sane governance.
it's what happens when you've alienated so many professionals that you are literally at the bottom of the barrel finding people to work for you

Always amazing how suddenly everyone is a legal expert. I have two questions-

1) Will the monorail have a station at the new prison?
2) Will run Disney events go through the new prison?

DeSantis revealed this this morning...

RCID doesn't exist anymore beause of these kind of questions.
The district still exists just under a new name.

These questions have nothing at all to do with why the district was altered. Nothing

The current changes to the district do nothing to prevent the potential scenario you’re speaking of.

The questions you’re asking are issues with state law. Not issues with RCID or any other municipality.

Predictably, a certain former POTUS is going after DeSantis about this situation.

The part that I don’t understand is, why would they sell properties in Florida. If, for some reason that actually came to pass, it doesn’t make sense why they would sell properties in Florida. If anything they would just license out the right to operate the parks and resorts, and make sure the checks were getting sent to Burbank.

No. The RCID doesn't "exist" anymore as it once operated because the Governor got upset that Disney ignored his demands for them to stay out of his way with regards to the education legislation he was passing. DeSantis has been pretty open about why he did what he did.

If Disney bows to him and Chepak never issues a statement, none of this happens. This is not because of issues like a bond issuance from 30 years ago.

You can hope I guess :). Why would Disney need to commit an illegal act when they controlled the board? The majority of what RCID handled was very mundane stuff like roads and power. Lawyers handled all the contracts.
I dont claim to be right about anything I typed. I made that clear. Im only saying there are many different possibilities at play here. The dynamics between Disney+RCID+State of Florida are very complex and I doubt that anybody on this boad had a 100% gasp on all the issues from each player.

Dusney's lawyers feel confident...Florida's lawyers also feel confident. Both sides are armed with good legal minds. Disney is not the only one with great lawyers. Anybody with $$$$ can get brilluant lawyers.

Did Disney do everything right? Maybe!
Could Disney have broken laws? Maybe!

We are ALL going to see this play out over the next year or two in the courts. Ultimately..."they" will determine which lawyers are right and which are wrong. Im just a guy gueseing in a forum like most people here.

Yes....this kind of stuff HAS happened in other places before so its not unheard of.

Beyond the setup for applying for the bonds though, do you think it's wise that a state should dedicate more resources to propping up industry than overseeing housing development or education, or to the other functions that a good government should provide?

Don't you think the people should generally have a say in such matters?
Should people have a say in how their money is spent? Excellent question, and one that neatly sums up why DeSantis’s takeover is unjust - and that's before taking into account the First Amendment issues.

Why does everybody always blame the Governor exclusively. Everything people hate about this starts with the legislators. The bill is created and voted on by LIKE-MINDED people over there FIRST. Only after it passes by majority on both sides does the Governor get it and sign it.

All the legislators are free from people's criticism? People only think about "ONE" guy in all of this? Laws cant be blamed on "one" person because it takes MANY representatives to make and vote and sign a bill into law. The Governor cannot do this on his own.
