In the state General Appropriations Act (GAA), the appropriated salaries for the Governor and Chief Justice are less than $400,000. The Chief Justice actually makes more than the Governor. For comparison, the Chief Justice is appropriated approximately $250,000.
I agree it's a lot. Does anyone know the salary of the current administrator?

Reading both the Non-Disclosure and Non-disparagement clauses, I see again the wanton disregard for the First Amendment by both the CFTOD and the state in general. I guess when you start out everything by violating the First Amendment then further First Amendment violations just seem so much easier. The slippery slope has begun sliding.

Along with the governor wanting to hide his travel records. Yeah, it’s not looking good.
It is too much money. Also who is going to pay him after Disney wins the case? If the CFTOD is supposed to still pay it, it is another example of financial harm to Disney and the other taxpayers in the district. The Board if spending like drunken sailors and needs to be stopped. I wouldn't be shocked if Didney files another update to it's case asking for an immediate injunction because of all the spending and liabilities being placed on Disney and others.

They have to find some "legitimate" way to spend all that money they plan to get out of Disney.
Now they just create crony-based expenses to justify it.
Sure - why not?

What is Classe being paid to stay on as an “advisor”?
Because that's how people who only know politics, but not government or law, give money to their friends. It's pretty common where I lived at before.
For an example, one kid I went to undergrad #2 with in PR - an absolute moron who graduated with a C average - got contracts for image advising, since he was friendly with the island's conservative party. He received $125k/yr for four years on an island where the average annual salary is closer to $20k, for a contract that only required 20 hours of work per month.
All while still freelancing on the side.
And after being mentioned in the infamous chats that caused islandwide protests in 2019 that led the governor to resign.
Oh, and I also believe he still has contracts.
This is why what has subsequently happened in Disney vs DeSantis fight hasn't shocked me: because I've seen this game play out before with different players. This is a power grab to look good on a bigger scale while simultaneously being a grift for those he owes favors to.

No, I know that’s what they do. But I’m wondering what they’re paying Classe for his “advisor” position which with this group I’m pretty sure us either extortion or a bribe.
Also don’t forget DeSantis’ college roommate (or the guy’s firm at least) is one of CFTOD’s lawyers. They’re not being subtle at all.

Allies getting cushy positions? I see the Governor is already practicing handing off ambassadorships.
It's like all politicians know how to do is be politicians.
I'd trade one million Ron DeSantises for a single competent administrator in Tallahassee.

I would assume they are going to pay Classe whatever he was being paid before, to more or less to do the same job, since he has the necessary knowledge and experience. I'm not sure if he was at-will or under contract before, which would speak to their options. New guy will make much more money to make clear who is in charge

If Disney wins on all issues, then CFTOD doesn't exist - everything rolls back to RCID, so I would guess any contracts they entered into (including his job offer) would be declared unenforceable at the least, and they'd no longer be obligated to continue paying his salary.
Your question about what happens with what CFTOD spends during the interim is interesting, though. Will Disney now try to expedite an injunction to prevent CFTOD from over spending? If they win, can Disney sue to get back any salary that was paid to him (or any other egregiously frivolous spending done by CFTOD) while the case was being decided, since he should never have been hired in the first place, or are they simply happy to move on and consider it part of the cost of returning to RCID?
Classe was paid 332k in 2021

And I'd argue what he does is not 10x more valuable than what an entry level CM a mile away is doing.

That’s one of the things that DeSantis and the state have been lying about and you apparently mistakenly believe. The district and his position were not simply rubber stamps.

I looked at Classe’s contract that’s attached to tomorrow’s meeting agenda. He’s going to be paid the same salary he’s making now which they don’t specify. His contract is for 1 year with a 1 year extension option.
