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

Well they're certainly not paying the $725/hr rate to read old documents that mean nothing.

They are if it's all a part of the same big grift.

"we didn't pick the fight, Disney picked the fight"

Funny... he's omitting all the statements made BEFORE they met with the Disney people after being appointed.

Reps JimBob, TommyJo and Cletus 1000% picked a fight…
…with everyone…to try and get more money

 

[flynnibus]

haha.. by banning public health restrictions... we can assure people that it will no longer be a problem.

LOL

 

[Kamikaze]

I literally cannot believe they're still focused on COVID restrictions.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

so their lawyer is outlining 3 reasons the developer agreement is 'invalid'

1) the RCID board didn't have the planning authority over the cities... so the agreement is invalid
2) that they didn't follow the required procedures....
3) that the move was unconstiutional (state constitution)

supposedly these are outlined in detail in their handout

You continue to give validity to people whose iqs and third from the right on the evolutionary chart

 

[flynnibus]

"this is protecting businesses..."

From who? themselves? By banning your ability to make your own decisions... we are protecting you. lol

Problem is that the district's money has to come from somewhere, so they can't afford Cooper & Kirk to do all of this work. They know they're not going to get approval to raise taxes. The firefighters will be pretty upset when they don't get a pay raise because CFTOD has to pay all these lawyers.

Good god no. The Skyliner is awful.

Replacing the monorail with some kind of efficient resort wide mass transit (light rail?) would be okay, though.

I love the Skyliner, what don't you like about it?

 

[lewisc]

Disney will never pay to rebuild the monorail as currently constructed. Reedy creek’s loss only makes that more of a certainty.

When it goes…it’s gone

No question. Bus or Skyliner?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I literally cannot believe they're still focused on COVID restrictions.

You wanna know why?

Spoiler: Don’t tell anyone

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I love the Skyliner, what don't you like about it?

I like it…but it’s down too much due to weather in a place that’s gonna get worse
I don’t think they’d build it again if they had it to do over again

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

No question. Bus or Skyliner?

I would hope some sort of more adaptive third option? Like the Heathrow pods

The state is in the process of sending an additional $15M+ to New College to make up for lost donations when Desantis pulled essentially the same stunt to their governing board. Never doubt the FL state government's ability to funnel tax dollars to their buddies.

I literally cannot believe they're still focused on COVID restrictions.

Well when the board is looking for any possible way to interfere, these are the types of things that happen. Along with swimming pool water samples of course.

They picked the wrong pony

 

[flynnibus]

so who has got the resume on the district admin?

I'm not hearing actual leading government experience in these comments?

Like.. did he even manage his local residential community before moving right to a Manhattan sized property?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

I would hope some sort of more adaptive third option? Like the Heathrow pods

For the sake of consumer safety, CFTOD will require that all guests be transported via catapult.

 

[wdwmagic]

Glen Gilzean is the potential new district admin.

Yeah, not feeling bad for RCFD right now, they've got cushy jobs for the most part and can leave if they don't like it

"we didn't pick the fight, Disney picked the fight"

Didn't this all escalate when Chapek (eventually) spoke out against the bill? There was no intention to go after Reedy Creek before that, right?

So then isn't this the issue that they view voicing a differing opinion as "picking a fight"?
