I really appreciate them putting him to task but I hate they always lie and say the left would do this, which isn’t true. The fact that DeSantis has been able to get the left to cheer for the company a lot of them hate so much seems to prove that.

Always a special session to finish the actually important things

Just going off what you said here, couldn't they handle other business in that 72 hour cooling period?
Two weeks is a long time in legislative land (having worked for the US House I have some experience in this). However the resign to run thing is a relatively uncomplicated piece of legislation and the fact that it hasn’t made it out of a filed she’ll bill with two weeks to go in the session is somewhat concerning.
There are some thoughts that the bill isn’t needed, but most legal scholars disagree. Either way it will be interesting to see. As someone who thought DeSantis could be the reasonable alternative to Trump I’m shocked at how he’s played this. He looks like a fool and an obsessed crazy man. This is turning into his “Dean Scream” moment and he doesn’t realize it.

How does RCID negatively impact those departments from doing their jobs? How has RCID impacted health inspections? Why was this not an issue discussed over the last 56 years?

Yeah, he’s getting roasted on both sides. The sad part is he will probably double down again now.

Maybe so. But until they do it would be odd for Disney to sue. Right now they are sitting on a legally executed contract. The board or the Governor declaring the contract void has no legal basis. It’s just PR spin. Gov is getting killed for being outplayed and wants the spin to be he killed the deal.
They can. But both chambers tend to use the 72 hours period to review the Conference Committee report, especially if the Senate president and House speaker were the individuals who resolved any differences between the two chamber's budgets by eliminating them. Sometimes the two chambers are billions apart in their bills.
Right now, the Legislature's focus is on everything BUT the budget.

The difference is the Disney contract itself was not illegal. If there’s something in the contract that a court rules is illegal (like the fraud you describe) then the contract could be ruled void. Maybe in this case the fraud would be the self dealing approach the state is floating out there. A judge would have to decide that.
The failure to provide notice is a procedural violation on the government’s part (RCID being the government in this case). In normal world (not where we are with this) if a government signs an agreement like this and a landowner who didn’t receive proper notice objects and sues the remedy is that they make the government board listen to the person’s objection and then re-vote on the contract. Just because someone objects doesn‘t mean the board can‘t still approve the contract anyway and it doesn’t mean the contract is automatically void.
So in this case if there was not proper notice given to landowners who could be impacted and if one of the landowners comes forward with a valid objection then a judge would most likely rule the current board would need to hear that objection and then re-vote on the contract which we all know will result in a no.

Narcissists can never admit their own fault.
In 2018, under SB 186, the Legislature made it pretty clear that the offices of POTUS and VPOTUS were included in "federal office". Then Governor Scott signed it into law on March 30, 2018.
That being said, there's a shell bill in the Senate, SB 7050 that is serving as a placeholder of sorts for any election related actions. However, Senate President Passidomo has said she doesn't believe it will include language to amend or abolish Section 99.012(2).
And the Legislature has moved pretty fast to push legislation through both chambers to overturn the Agreement, even after being warned their actions may be unconstitutional.
Good news for those of you who live in FL. Maybe they can focus on some of the real problems now.
Yeah, right....
Can you expand on this? The county health departments handle food inspections and any ride inspections would be conducted by employees working for the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS).
Yeah....wishful thinking
If the legislature is serious they have an easy way to get rid of Ronnie boy….don’t amend the bill that’s on the books and force him to resign once he declares his campaign.
Well, SB 186 contained this little zinger that is now part of Section 99.012...
"(f)1. The failure of an officer who qualifies for federal public office to submit a resignation pursuant to this subsection constitutes an automatic irrevocable resignation, effective immediately, from the office he or she presently holds."

I'd love to see how a state employee would get experience on how exactly to determine if something like RotR is safe.
Floridians: "Then pass a budget and go home."
The only thing the Legislature is required by the Florida Constitution to do. At some point, Floridians have to realize these special sessions cost them, the taxpayers, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
