A DVC class action should be started expecially if it going to up the taxes we pay on DVC
That's right, out dues also include property taxes.

The most frustrating thing for me with this claim by DeSantis and his supporters is the belief that "running its own government" gave Disney free reign to do anything they wanted and could just ignore state and county laws, implying that they didn't have to pay taxes or follow safety regulations, when in reality, they paid more taxes and in many cases actually implemented stricter regulations than the state or county.At this point I have to believe people either didn't read the article or don't care what it says. They just want to repeat that Disney shouldn't run its own government.
With tomorrow’s board meeting, and the board being left to enforce the will of the emperor for the time being. What can we expect the board to do to the district in the time they still have power?
More rhetoric? When do we expect the injunction to be issued so they can’t cause more harm?
It’s not unusual for a current governor to run for president. Plenty of precedent. Just not in Florida.
And it won’t be the last I’m sure, depending on how many states have this in place. It’s a silly law. Doesn’t make sense to stop your state’s top leader from running, IMO. We wouldn’t really be talking about it if it were not for Ron’s silly disney fight.This isn't the first time the resign-to-run law has been modified so a Republican can run for federal office.
The governor wasn’t aware of how the states third biggest employer operates in an area of that size. No one is buying that…
That’s pretty much the position they have to take with the Comprehensive Plan since the District is now claiming it doesn’t actually comply with state law.He’s not retaliatory just incompetent is his position?
The Acting Secretary of the Department of Economic Opportunity is named in the suit because that’s the department’s job. Not know is fine, but it doesn’t explain the sudden, multiple emergencies that required no study and two special sessions.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.

I just saw a clip of DeSantis speaking and when asked about the Disney situation he said he’s not going to let a corporation control their own government and avoid taxes. Why continue stating something that is just a blatant lie? They were not avoiding taxes. When someone insists on lying about something as basic and provable as this it invalidates anything else they say on the topic.The most frustrating thing for me with this claim by DeSantis and his supporters is the belief that "running its own government" gave Disney free reign to do anything they wanted and could just ignore state and county laws, implying that they didn't have to pay taxes or follow safety regulations, when in reality, they paid more taxes and in many cases actually implemented stricter regulations than the state or county.
In addition, he added to the misinformation about what Disney's "own government" allowed it to do by making it seem like the inspection exemption was part of RCID and that, by adding new inspections, he's just making Disney "play by the same rules" when the truth is that the inspection exemption is completely separate legislation from RCID, and it grants Universal and Sea World the same benefit, yet the "fair" new inspection bills are worded to only affect Disney and not the other exempt parks, adding more credence to the claim that Disney is being singled out and that punishing them is their actual goal rather than "leveling the playing field" as they claim.
Disagree. I think it’s an important law that should exist everywhere. Running for president is itself a full time job. There is no way that someone can hold an elected office such as governor and adequately perform their duties while simultaneously holding the full time job that is running a presidential campaign. Not to mention the potential of using the power and resources of your current position as a tool to grow, publicize, and fund your campaign.And it won’t be the last I’m sure, depending on how many states have this in place.

Opinion | Disney v. DeSantis: How Strong Is the Company’s Lawsuit?
The First Amendment ramifications are substantial.www.nytimes.com
An opinion piece that references a case that was about a privilege. Nixing a privilege was still considered a punishment.
since the District is now claiming it doesn’t actually comply with state law.
Talk about it if you want. I just don’t see it as a controversial move. Bill Clinton. George Bush. Heck even Rick Perry. Not to mention all the senators that didn’t resign.Except every time a sitting governor considers running for federal office, it is talked about - when Bob Graham ran for US Senate in 1986 and Rick Scott in 2010. Graham resigned before his term as senator started. Scott refused to do so.

Tell that to the last several presidents prior to the last two, who kept their place as governor or senator. And a bunch of the losing candidates.Disagree.

I think the simple solution would be to require a “leave if absence” instead of a resignation. The Lt Governor takes over temporarily similar to a medical disability and if the Governor comes back later they continue their term. The fact of the matter is DeSantis will not be governing during his campaign, the Lt Governor will be handling the day to day so why not make it official. There are certain actions like signing a bill or certain executive powers that require the Governor so just hand those powers over to #2 temporarily. Easy solution.And it won’t be the last I’m sure, depending on how many states have this in place. It’s a silly law. Doesn’t make sense to stop your state’s top leader from running, IMO.

No; but the governor should likely be aware of the one that facilities one of his states largest employers, largest tax payers, and the driver of one of his states largest industries.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.
I think it’s become very clear since the middle of last decade that telling demonstrable lies doesn’t carry the same risk that it used to for political figures. Those among their supporters who want to believe will simply go on doing so.Why continue stating something that is just a blatant lie? They were not avoiding taxes. When someone insists on lying about something as basic and provable as this it invalidates anything else they say on the topic.

Gladly. Just because people have done it in the past doesn’t mean it’s right or that it should be allowed.Tell that to the last several presidents prior to the last two, who kept their place as governor or senator. And a bunch of the losing candidates.![]()
