"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.)

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

 

[peter11435]

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.

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

You kid right?

 

[zakattack99]

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

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.

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

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

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

Why should they bother? Only 300 people are watching, and these meetings are not widely reported on.

 

[nbdysreal]

And 314 of the 315 are probably on here.

Rick Singh Orange County tax appraiser according to courts inflated Disney property values and got crushed . Disney won.

300 here as there are other fan sites and a few political junkies watching

And most of those are probably Disney lawyers

If free food , drink and character meet and greet were offered more perhaps would attend the meeting.

I'm sure they're recording it, no need for more than a few to watch it live

 

[CaptainAmerica]

And 314 of the 315 are probably on here.

And that's what I've been getting at when I've described this as "bad policy, but good politics."

Primary voters see "Ron is going after Disney, and we don't like Disney." Disney fanatics see "what the heck is going on, this is insane." Regular people don't even notice any of it.

(Asking sincerely.)

It says 'initial period'. Not maximum.

They're heavily reading only what they want to read.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

It says 'initial period'. Not maximum.

Was it renewed after the initial period?

 

[Figgy1]

Unconstitutionality drink

 

[Riviera Rita]

They can blame Disney, but, what about those in Orange and Osceola counties who agreed to the creation of RCID knowing the long term benefits to their counties having seen the success of Disneyland in Anaheim and knowing the name of Disney as a product driver.
