From State Rep Anna Eskamani:



Reading the replies on that post is both encouraging and depressing. The vast majority were for Disney but her followers probably skew left so it’s not surprising they’d be anti DeSantis.

It’s a bit alarming how many of the anti Disney replies have completely bought the “not paying their share” lie though, nearly every antiD reply was parroting what DeSantis has said.

If Disney wins this, and all their demands are met what happens exactly?

“Declare that House Bill 4C and House Bill 9C are unlawful and unenforceable because they were enacted in retaliation for Disney’s political speech in violation of the First Amendment”

This is suggesting a full roll back of the initial Reedy Creek dissolution bill. What does that look like in practice the state just picks up and leaves? Old board members are reinstated new politics rolled back?

Or are we only talking about the developer agreement as it is also listed in the lawsuit?

What stops the state from trying to do this again? If Disney wins the suit can they stop that from happening?

I wondering about this too.

They can’t actually have a court order “reinstate” a legislative act that was dissolved…so it’s a bigger mess than we are even giving it credit for…

I suppose it can be declared unconstitutional? But that leaves future shenanigans open

This is why you never “pull on the string”

I believe it would effectively reinstate RCID as it was.

All hypotheticals, but it’s been theorized that a judge could issue a “cooling down” period where the legislature would be unable to do anything regarding RCID for X amount of time. The legislature also would not be able to do the exact same thing they just did (to my understanding) if Disney wins. The suit is also trying to have the legislatures void of the developers agreement overturned as well. It could be said they don’t really care about the development agreement because if they win they don’t need it. Just doesn’t make sense to sue multiple times, so they put everything in there.

I don’t see how it’s “unrelated” at all…

You want to talk about avoiding wages and taxes…lake nona is the poster child for it.

They should cancel it immediately…should have already, actually.
I think Disney can see the day Ron is the former and they still want to cut wages so they proceed as planned repeating all the while " this too shall pass "

With Judge Mark Walker assigned to the case, trust me, Disney has already won.
Disney could show up with a junior attorney and still win this. DeSantis doesn't have a prayer.

My complete hypothetical is the suit had prepped over the last few months, arguments tailored for - if not each, then almost every - judge up through SCOTUS.

If you told me half this doc was being fine-tuned on Dropbox six months ago, I would 100% believe that.

If the judge agrees to that remedy, yes. It may not be the same board, but the landowners could then elect a new or the same board.

What stops the state from trying to do this again? If Disney wins the suit can they stop that from happening?

As suggested above, I could see the judge ordering a "cooling off" period of a decade or longer.

Yes they can. The act was dissolved by the new bill. If the new bill is declared unconstitutional, then everything, including its repeal of the old act, is void.

@Sirwalterraleigh mentioned this yesterday, but here's the source. Federalist society lawyer thinks Disney has a solid 1A case.
