The map link won’t seem to load

It's super slow to come up and looks like it isn't loading. I think the page frame is loading and then making calls back to load in a bunch of data sets. Looks like about 38 different data sets and then it draws once they are all loaded. I pulled the link from an RCID page originally.

Found the 20-21 fye for orange county. 1,308.7(million) total Property (ad valorem), gasoline, resort, and franchise taxes, to give you an idea.

So ~9billion … and this 11million is really a serious issue that the county is being held hostage over…

Oooooh private non-delegation doctrine.

Big fan.

I wonder what would happen to the counties budgets should they have to cover everything RC covers. I still don't see how they're getting out of paying taxes

 

[Disney Dad 3000]

lol at the Scrooge McDuck reference.

The claim is that their properties are being appraised artificially low. Meanwhile, Disney is suing Orange County, claiming that their properties are being appraised artificially high.

So i guess the team talking points is gonna be ‘rcid was always meant to be ended’

Ron eluded to this during his press conference too… talking about when the debt was paid off.

 

[Surferboy567]

Love how they claim the constitution is rules they should all share.

…then this board breaks this constitution.

I'm not laughing at you but the fact Disney is only doing what is available to most property tax payers. My neighborhood got a very nice rebate a couple of years ago doing the same thing. I guess we're all a bunch of cheats/s

 

[nbdysreal]

"even if you don't like the law, it must be applied" ....unless RCID created the agreement.

 

[Mr. Stay Puft]

Do any of these board members know how the district SUCCESSFULLY operated for over 50 years?

They do. They don't care. They want leverage and control.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

What's the rebuttal to this slide he's showing that says RCID had a 30 year expiration?

(Asking sincerely.)

 

[Surferboy567]

Is Disney allowed to stand up for themselves at these meetings?

And yet they have one these cases time and time again…

You kid right?

Yep, my in-laws as well after they built their new home was assessed WAY high and got a nice chuck off. Disney is just doing what is available to them, the only difference is they have the money and lawyers on staff to do it year after year.

 

[Figgy1]

Yes, but I'm sure their lawyers are telling them to keep their powder dry until it goes to court to avoid any accidental misspeak
I'm certain a strategy is being built behind the scenes
