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

[LAKid53]

The Villages. @LAKid53 will know more on the subject

I'd have to research that district as I don't live there.

Many of the districts are things like airports, ports, waste treatment, fire protection, water supply, etc. The 5 water management districts are special districts And CRAs - Community Redevelopment Agency. Many of those local government agencies provide funding to redevelop blighted areas in a city, such as an historical area or downtown, with the goal to attracting both businesses and residents.

Lol, Disney drew an Obama-appointed Judge. This is going to go really poorly for Desantis.

It’s true but also sad that we can guess how most “impartial” judges will rule based on who appointed them.

 

[RamblinWreck]

Whoever loses, if it gets to that point, will just appeal...and so on and so on...

In the meantime though, might this help Disney’s chances of getting an injunction in place?

SB 1604 - the bill to legislatively undo the Development Agreement, just got another floor amendment at 11:58 AM today. Still hasn't gone to the entire chamber for a vote.

Live feed from the floor:

How long until they claim the judge is an activist judge and they can't get a fair shake here?

29 minutes ago.

It's funny Disney was good to go with just the developer agreement, but then the gov pushed back and now they want relief on the whole board takeover as well. lol

A preliminary injunction is highly likely, no matter which POTUS appointed the judge.

Well I know I’m shocked

Well…yeah…

But let’s not do the “both sides do it…” thing this time?

Based on the last year…it’s off the rails mostly to the starboard side

Nauseating moral grandstanding from a company that teams up with the CCP, and filmed a whole movie in close proximity to a concentration camp.

China's laws and government are 100% irrelevant to US law. If that's the best defense of the governor, then he has no defense.

A statement that says................. nothing.

because they have....... nothing

I haven’t read it yet…but I assumed the reset to the 1967 arrangement was In there?

Daytona Speedway as well. I’m not sure who owns the track, maybe NASCAR now.

Interesting. Negating another argument.

DeSantis really should've just taken the L and moved on.

It can still be "nauseating moral grandstanding" without being a defense of the governor.

They requested an injunction in the filing. They should receive it.

Whether Florida's actions were retaliatory in nature would be a question of fact, not a question of law. If the trial court finds that the actions were, in fact, retaliatory, the current SCOTUS would rule those unconstitutional 9-0. First Amendment cases win left and right at the Supreme Court, whether it's religious liberty, speech, or a number of other things.

Extraordinarily unlikely it gets that far though.

There’s a whole lot more in there other than 1st amendment violations. The contract law portion is more of a slam dunk. It’s possible Disney only wins on some counts here and the new board stays but so does the development agreement.

It‘s also possible that this suit is a jumping off point for a negotiation where Disney and the state agree to a board setup both sides can agree on that actually does what the district is intended to do. In a year DeSantis is likely going to be a lame duck Governor with a failed presidential bid on his resume so much less powerful to “encourage” the legislature to continue this.

More or less, yes.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

He's not after a W, he's just trying to show he's "fighting."

Today's actions have not hurt his political ambitions one iota.

Getting sued by Disney is a credential as far as he's concerned.

China sucks…Eisner and iger’s allegiance to them to procure cheap sweatshop made toys is a huge error…

…but I don’t see how it applies with this issue?
