Which is entirely plausible given that there are something like 2,000 special districts in Florida and I wouldn't expect any governor to be an expert on every single one until and unless something happens that brings one of them to his or her attention.
There are 1,844 special districts in Florida. I guarantee you that there isn't a single person on the planet that is aware of every single one of them.
Rank them in order of size. Is this one in the top 50?
I don’t disagree. I’m giving the benefit of the doubt that someone actually wants to be part of a conversation.
Better question would be if special districts are a potential problem and if the Governor plans to solve that particular problem are we expected to believe this is the only special district out of 1800+ that exist in the state that’s a problem? Why aren’t the others being addressed? Why not look at the Villages? There are plenty of housing developments in the state that don’t have the same setup as the villages. Shouldn’t they have a level playing field? Should they control their own government? I think we all know why. It’s just silly that people still attempt to say this was always planned and he just got around to it. It’s not a serious discussion.
What happened that brought it to his attention? Did RCID do something with roads or sewers or EMS or wetland preservation that prompted his attention?
I get the jokes on attorneys, but let's be real, attorneys don't celebrate this nonsense, just like oncologists don't celebrate more cancer.As the saying goes….the only winner here is the lawyers
So far the board’s actions probably haven’t warranted an emergency injunction but that could change fast and they appear to be moving forward with their plan so it’s a matter of when not if. I think some history posted earlier suggest it may take a few weeks to a month or more for a preliminary injunction to go into effect should it be approved.
Who approves them? How does that work?
I’m not an expert so someone correct me if this is not right, but based on previous discussion the injunctions are part of the filing so that goes to the Federal Judge who is assigned this case and he decides. The preliminary injunction just pauses things until the full case is decided. What’s still unclear to me is who controls the district if the judge approves the injunction. I believe based on the filing Disney is asking to reverse the bills used to change control of the board so if it’s approved does the old RCID board just take back over?
Those are the bosses. The ones actually doing the work are probably annoyed for doing these political favors for the bosses over actual work.The one‘s getting paid probably don’t mind too much….especially those hired by the district who contributed to DeSantis. They are getting good return on their donations
Is it just as common for one party to unwind the establishment so their one guy can escape the constraints and transparency requirements normally associated with their role?
Is your argument that the timing of all this shouldn’t matter?
Yeah… it’s like he believed WDW just appeared from immaculate conception…
That’s the judge’s call… but the intent of an injunction is not to undo things but to basically prevent further harm. It’s likely to leave things as is but with constraints or required reviews
