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

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I'm so glad to see local business owners speaking about their relationship with Disney, how it has benefitted their business and employees and the negative impact board decisions will have on their business and staff.

“Local” looks a lot like Landry’s…

I guess boathouse is an “independent”, third party run restaurant group. Gibsons

 

[LAKid53]

No. I am assuming this is not intentional

How is that not a violation of the public meeting statute? The Legislature doesn't mute live streams of committee meetings or floor debate/votes.

Finally!

Jeeze I go down to the cafeteria for 5 minutes and come back to the world exploding.

 

[NotCalledBob]

Wow! I'm pleased. But, I didn't expect Disney to throw the first legal punch.

 

[LAKid53]

During the public comment section, there were 5 speakers in a row from non-Disney small businesses in Disney Springs and the District saying how bad raising taxes would be for them.

But it would be the District raising their taxes.

And, here...we....go.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Wait they named John Classe as a defendant?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Restaurants really suffered during the pandemic. The governor has repeatedly boasted that he kept Florida "open"....which wasn't true. To not care about those businesses his EOs directly impacted and that he likes to say he "saved" is a slap in the face for them. He rails against "big corporations" but doesn't listen to local businesses? Sad.

Emperor Ron re-opened the state faster then many other states.

Nobody had the slightest clue what was going to happen?

So it was all a matter of how comfortable they were based on the risk analysis.


It’s been in the news of late: estimated 500,000K preventable Covid related fatalities in the US and longterm costs/cases by amplitude above that.

It’s biology…we’re never gonna “know”…it will always be real time.

Ron did nothing…just guessed as all did…somewhere on the “spectrum”


Glad we can bring this up again

Livestreaming isn't a requirement. So as long as the audio works in the building, they're fine.

They need to get it kicked to Delaware

Let’s get ready to RUMBLE.



I joke but this is going to be an interesting battle to watch. This was always the end result.

…still think anyone south of the line cares about “rules”, huh?

Disney sued in Federal Court. Had Disney waited for FL to sue the suit would have started in FL state courts first.

Disney filed suite a few minutes, was it even 30 minutes, after the board voided the agreements.

I hope you got a hall pass from Miss Magee first?!?

Oh there was no way in hell it wasn’t going to federal court…

And I wish I could have prop bet how long it took

"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.

Prior to Iger's statement last week, all Disney did was release a written statement after employees were threatening to strike. And continued to conduct its business.

 

[Kamikaze]

But it would be the District raising their taxes.

Which is why you tell them it would be bad? I don't understand your point.

 

[tissandtully]

Wow, this is all well laid-out! It's very damning accusations agains the state as well. Finally they are standing up.
