News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

[CaptainAmerica]

What is in your head? Do you think Disney gets special treatment? And what kind?

A corporation should not have control over a de facto municipal government.

 

[kalel8145]

Well, you're wrong. The government is not allowed to do that. This will assuredly end up in the courts and get knocked down.

I'm not saying its right or wrong my friend. It is what it is. Had they not said anything, this thread wouldn't exist. That's a fact

 

[kalel8145]

Are you okay with being punished for voicing your opinion or donating money to a non-profit organization that operates within the law?

Not at all. I'm not saying its right. I'm saying its why they are going after Disney.

 

[AdventureHasAName]

No more than Orlando is exempt.

And now they are not at all exempt.

 

[Lilofan]

No, it would make the situation like it is everywhere else and they are back to normal expectations.

No one would be looking to call 911 because they know a paramedic visit is 'free' here. 911 is not your health clinic.

You would be amazed when some take advantage while on vacation at WDW to get checked out for free.

 

[lazyboy97o]

And now they are not at all exempt.

Which means the regulations regarding building would now be less. Since when is more regulation considered an exemption?

 

[Disstevefan1]

Yeah but you have to make a case for it…not just say “we ain’t grand dad”

And Florida isn’t some well run monolith…it was half Wit put together with duct tape and bandaids by people from out of state/country to serve their interests.

Nobody at Disney is quaking. Except Bob…but for other reasons.


One thing this could direct impact is lake Nona. If Gavin is feeling ornery…he throws an incentive package at them right now.

Nobody gives a cr@p about Lake Nona, it would have been cool to have a campus there but it's no great loss if it does not happen.

 

[Lilofan]

I don’t hate everything DeSantis does. I only hate the things that he does that are stupid, not in the best interest of Florida, or harmful to some groups of people. It’s not my fault that most of what he does falls into those categories

He is dividing and conquering and the nation is watching whatever one thinks about him.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Because, it's not about RCID.. They just hate anything DeSantis does, no matter what logic is used.

I'd love to see the Governor of Alaska grant ExxonMobil sole control of a special district in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and watch heads explode over how immoral these corporate-run quasi-municipalities are.

 

[KrzyKtty]

The likelihood of this happening is still low even with the law. RCID residents have to vote to dissolve don't they? Or does this bill somehow get around that legal requirement?

 

[lazyboy97o]

A corporation should not have control over a de facto municipal government.

So you now think there should be building codes and strict zoning control over all development?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

One thing this could direct impact is lake Nona. If Gavin is feeling ornery…he throws an incentive package at them right now.

I'm pretty sure something like 50% of the affected teams have already quit.

 

[GimpYancIent]

Don't bring in Gov Gav to add to the confusion. Ca has it's own problems.

I want to see the attorneys walk into the court room in mouse ears!

Kevin Mayer was just on CNBC talking about all of this wearing a gray crew neck sweatshirt.

What a time to be alive.

He is dividing and conquering and the nation is watching whatever one thinks about him.

And hurting his taxpayers along the way...

Hey! What's wrong with the new business casual?

And that's the best content on CNBC in a long time

Not even remotely the same. This is FL repealing a 40 year-old law and trying to harm a corporation because it disagreed with the governor, in clear violation of the 1st Amendment. That’s fascism. Let’s see what heads would explode if Biden decided to punish companies like Hobby Lobby or Chick-fil-A because they disagreed with him.

Lesson for large corporations that operate outside of their home state: You are the guest of the state that you choose to do business in.
