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

[tissandtully]

He won by the largest margin in over 40 years period. So you are an election denier…..?

Maybe learn math and proportions

 

[RamblinWreck]

So you're good with a backroom deal which essentially allowed a private multi-billion dollar corporation to become it's own government to thwart or in retaliation for additional state oversight?

You're hardly an impartial entity fighting against authoritarian politicians, you like the the rest of the gas bags here are blatantly partisan because the small but vocal mob is screeching what you like to hear.

Labeling it as “additional state oversight” just isn’t accurate.

Even though it was for a petty reason, I think few people would have complained much about Reedy Creek being dissolved if DeSantis had been able to do it. It’s not necessary for it to exist.

What he opted for instead is a fat sight beyond “additional state oversight”, an anyone who is paying attention to what’s happening can clearly see that in part because DeSantis freely admits and brags about it.



It’s a bit like labeling the issues with the Parental Rights Bill (or “Don’t Say Gay”) as either a fight between people who want to protect kids from being sexualized vs groomers (when looked through one lens) or a fight between people who advocate for human rights vs bigots (through another).

Neither is accurate. The parental rights bill says many things most people would agree with. It also has some crucial clauses that are extremely vaguely worded to the point that it almost seems intentionally done to keep people scared about what they say in school if it even remotely approaches a certain topic.

There’s room for nuance in this world. Not everything is black and white.

What are the odds a special session will be needed just to get the budget done. Will it include money for the suit? Odds of more retaliation?

Aside from whatever dear leader wants related to business of the state, aren't we still expecting a bill to come in that will allow him to remain governor after declaring for president?

He probably doesn’t want to be dealing with the discovery process for this suit while running though.

We’ve all seen the things he and his legislature were willing (and giddy) to admit to in front of cameras. What are the odds that their emails and texts are filled with significantly more damning material?

These people were sloppy, there’s no question about that. They rushed to punish Disney by trying to dissolve Reedy Creek without taking any time at all to figure out if that was even feasible. Then they opted for a Governor takeover of it instead, and paid zero attention to what the old board was up to on the way out the door.

I look forward to a discovery process that is likely even more entertaining than the recent Fox News / Dominion one.

Oh, there is, I guarantee. He's even thinner skinned than Trump. The billboard facing the governor's mansion was a source of daily anger on his part...to the point he wanted it removed.

He was in Japan

My mistake, I thought China was another one of the countries he was visiting.

Did you not read my previous responses?

I'm neither a fan of RCID, nor am I a fan of the response from DeSantis.

However, I recognize that RCID saved the local taxpayers from footing the bill for the services to operate what is a special tourism district whose public services they'd get little or no benefit from.

And I also recognize that CFTOD was created to punish Disney for the act of publicly disagreeing with DeSantis.

Only one of those two things benefits the public in any way, while the other was done for unconstitutional reasons.

In this instance of being between a rock and a hard place, I made my choice. And I'd be just as mad if this happened from a left (or even centrist) governor for the same reason.

And 'near a concentration camp' - so what?

So glad you're joined to tell us everything we're doing wrong with nothing to add yourself.

We have a betting pool on when you'll rage quit (again)...

Little or no benefit? That's your position on the merits? That the residents of Central Florida receive "little or no benefit" from living in proximity to Walt Disney World?

If you want useful info go to a news site. This thread is just partisan hacks screeching.

You assume a lot.

You know very little.

 

[Brian]

Same.

No. They receive little or no benefit from the public services that the RCID/CFTOD offer, hence they shouldn't pay for them.

Here's the response from the Governor's Office -

I wish they would shut this thread down like they do with the political board. All I hear is my party is better then your party and name calling.

Where did he deny the result of the election?

 

[mkt]

So your policy disagreement gives you the moral authority to call people Nazis? Your conduct is as vile as what you claim to be against.

It seems like most of you are more interested in partisan attacks than the actual substance of the discussion.

Where did I call someone a Nazi, other than referring previously to groups of literal Nazis - who call themselves as such - as his supporters.

Where can I get in on that pool?

 

[Kamikaze]

What?

Please explain why being NEAR - NOT AT - a concentration camp is a problem for a movie.

Are no businesses supposed to operate near them?

Did I ever say he lost? When you have a poor candidate people don’t show up to vote and the other candidate wins by a large percentage. Basic math.
