Oh, I would love to see that.I may go to this since I will be at The Boardwalk. I hope many DVC Owners go and complain they want us to pay for their illegal Board.

I seem to recall him getting in front of cameras and telling everyone what he was going to direct the legislature to do in regards to the “11th hour” contracts between RCID and Disney.As someone said, they are laying the groundwork on making claims that DeSantis wasn't the entity that actually made the changes. First, they will go on a media blitz. Watch other DeSantis minions make similar claims on right wing outlets. You'll possibly see some op-eds in the WSJ, etc. also try to make similar claims. Then they will show up in court and try to make a legal argument that he's not party to the suit.
They have to do this because DeSantis was an arrogant fool by continually bragging that he took on Disney himself. I mean he wasn't even vague about it, he was pretty clear he did this.
Also going to be quite the campaign issue............. he's going to want to run on him being the guy that took it to Disney but his legal team is going to be arguing that he can't be a defendant because he had nothing to do with the legislature reshaping the district via legislation.
Not that I recall.Correct. The regular session was scheduled to begin the following month. This bill could have been handled during then. But then it would have been lost in the noise of all the other bills.
@JohnD, do you ever remember any special session so close to the start of regular session? Especially once the governor submitted his budget?
I'm not sure they tell us.How much if you don’t mind me asking do DVC members typically pay RCID in taxes?
Yes. That's generally considered by the electorate to be a prerequisite to becoming Attorney General.she's an attorney?
Get DeSantis team CFTOD to sign the popcorn buckets and some can have a popcorn bucket burning party.Just a thought. Now would be the perfect time for WDW to sell US constitution popcorn buckets at American Adventure and Liberty Square.
I think what they might be doing is trying to build an argument that the legislation was necessary to re-examine and possibly change some special districts that pre-dated the 1968 Florida constitution.As someone said, they are laying the groundwork on making claims that DeSantis wasn't the entity that actually made the changes.

will it help if they keep chanting 'we the people' in all of their defenses ?He can say the legislature made the decision, Disney fought it, and he’s trying to uphold the will of the people.
Just speculation on why she said what she did. Given the facts of this case, I don’t think the state will prevail on this argument.
DoubtBoard Chair Martin Garcia told the speakers he understands the importance of small businesses. “I promise you … we hear you loud and clear,” he told the business owners.
Given the timeline of events I think the facts are not there to show “we the people” had a substantial interest in interfering with Disney’s contract rights.will it help if they keep chanting 'we the people' in all of their defenses ?
Best case the state can make is that DeSantis and the Florida GOP had an extremely good showing in the Nov. 2022 election, after they did what they did with RCID earlier that year. Though, as we all know (myself included), just because one votes for a specific politician does not mean they necessarily agree with every single thing they said/did.Given the timeline of events I think the facts are not there to show “we the people” had a substantial interest in interfering with Disney’s contract rights.
It is a lot different when talking to citizens of other states . When you try to make others drink the Kool Aid of Make America Florida , that's a roadblock right there.Best case the state can make is that DeSantis and the Florida GOP had an extremely good showing in the Nov. 2022 election, after they did what they did with RCID earlier that year.

They’ve made that case already and it requires someone to have paid no attention at all to find it convincing.Best case the state can make is that DeSantis and the Florida GOP had an extremely good showing in the Nov. 2022 election, after they did what they did with RCID earlier that year.

Well, there's a difference between a public mandate and a legally permissible substantial public interest. In other words, it doesn't matter how many people in Florida agree with an action intended to infringe on someone's constitutional rights because that, in itself, is illegal. It would have to be a showing that there was a permissible substantial interest in what was done to RCID that would justify interfering with Disney's constitutional rights.Best case the state can make is that DeSantis and the Florida GOP had an extremely good showing in the Nov. 2022 election, after they did what they did with RCID earlier that year.
