Can they counter sue in state court if the proceedings are in Federal Court? Like how does that work?

Also really now we are boo hooing about how the media and people are being mean online?
Federal trumps state so if Disney wins in Federal court then it’s irrelevant. This is just politics. They think they can sue and win in state court due to political bias so when they lose in Federal court the gov can rail on about being the victim of a woke judge.

Where in the bill that “reimagined“ the district does it say the district is responsible for helping Orange and Osceola Counties fight Disney on real estate tax appraisals. That is the very stuff that will sink them. Trying to prove you are not just in it to punish Disney and then continuing to talk about ways you plan to punish Disney is a quick way to lose if Federal court

And then two minor points... 1) I wasn't a lifer, but I lived in Orlando for 3 years and I've never heard of anyone driving through or across Walt Disney World surface streets unless they were doing Walt Disney World things. So the claim that the roads are for public use is dubious to me.
I’ve been here half of my life. When I lived in Windermere, the fastest toll-free option to get to my workplace in Osceola County or see family in Celebration was through Disney property.

It might not be common, but it happens.

I find it so strange to hear these justifications based on the notion a government-appointed board is examining the running of a private business to see how they can make it better serve the public good. On some level, that sounds all well and good. Overall, however, that sounds very close to a particularly state-centric form of socialism in which the state appoints officials to oversee individual businesses and guide their actions according to their assessments of the public good, including how they use their land. It's particularly strange to consider this is a board that lives off Disney's revenue but Disney has no representation on it and thus no real say in how their taxes are used.

Maybe a bit of a simplistic take, but listening to that guy rabbit on made me wonder whether there are suddenly a lot of conservatives supporting this move realising that they actually like the idea of socialising more of private enterprise to make it work for the public good.
