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

[CaptainAmerica]

I was interested to see whether they'd be content to leave the CFTOB in place and simply sue to have the land development agreement upheld, or if they'd go all the way and say that want RCID reinstated. They went nuclear.

Serious question
How has anything the er um board proposed encouraged/promoted tourism in the district?

Pages 39-42 describe in extent the public hearings that occurred.

They do not allege they, or any other property owner, received a mailing noticing these hearings.

They don't need to conduct mailings.

Any news on the budget yet?

It's not Tuesday yet.

Anyone want a churro on me?

Sure, you picking me up in the private jet?

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"?

Didn't it further escalate when Disney stopped campaign contributions in FL?

They've never gotten to the point of actually doing any business.

Disney didn’t have to, correct. The RCID did. Disney’s lawsuit recounts the public hearings. It does not allege they - nor any other property owner - received mailings containing notice from the RCID.

DeSantis wins 2022 Florida governor’s race by largest margin in 40 years. I live in Florida and every one I know loves the Governor and the job he is doing.​

Hi Gary.

I live in Florida and can't stand him. My wife does as well.

Now you know two people that can't stand him.

Have a magical day.

Yeah. I was wondering the same thing, so I was curious to look through Disney's filing, and it was interesting that they actually went "nuclear" as you put it, claiming two 1A violations in addition to the contracts clause violations, and asking that they invalidate HB9B and restore RCID.

From the filing document:

Disney plans to invest over $17 billion in Walt Disney World over the next decade. The Company estimates that those investments will create 13,000 new Disney jobs in that same 10-year time period.

I do wonder what they were planning. I know the RCID plan had outlined space for 1 major park and (i think) 3 minor ones. I wonder if they genuinely are/were considering another major park given the number of jobs mentioned here (and before that debate starts, we've got a whole thread debating if that should happen or not - thats a conversation for over there).

Gary needs to get out of the bubble.

GTFOH with that, Zaslav.

That was made clear at about 2AM this morning.

An injunction, you say? Interesting hypothetical. BUT NOT THIS WEEK BECAUSE I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR NO DRAMA.

I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR NO DRAMA THIS WEEK.

To both parties

 

[DCBaker]

Here's who filed the complaint on Disney's behalf.

At this point Ron can kiss his 2024 ambitions goodbye.

Maybe you should have sent that request to Japan/Tallahassee
