Pretty sure he just feels the need to constantly vaguely insinuate that the old board was operating in a questionable manner.

Saying Gilzean is tall dark and handsome isn’t exactly necessary
In other words, he's just projecting.

Someone shoudl ask them where in the district charter they get the power to do this...
Is there a precedent for this? Can he actually do anything?

The only purpose of this board is to punish Disney so anything that costs more money means more taxes paid by Disney as a punishment. This is why the Disney Springs vendors all showed up to remind them it’s more than Disney paying those taxes. As long as this board is in charge the EMS budget should stay healthy. It’s possible they force other non-monetary changes like eliminating equity, diversity and inclusion in the department which at least some members would probably disagree with.
I just hope if Disney wins the case and the new board is gone they at least honor the pay raises and keep any new hires. Maybe the fire department can be the only other winner in this besides the lawyers.
Ok what really gets me is Garcia going on about making the district better for surrounding communities and tax payers…. Why is that the district’s responsibility?
Not sure, but I can't see what the new board has to do with tax issues with the various counties. Other than justifying his pay and existence?

I find that insane
Hire more lawyers?
Welcome to third world Disney, where precedents and rules are more suggestions that can be ignored when inconvenient.

It’s not but Disney has always at least seemingly presented as a good neighbor. They likely won’t stop that either. The board to me likes to present that they have all this power to do all these things that seem great but they really can’t do even half of it.

Not likely.
Their justification is Disney pays taxes to the district based off of the assessments by the county so if the assessment is higher the district gets higher taxes. Of course it was setup this way to save money and time not having independent assessments but also because Disney controlled the district so the counties were a less biased appraiser. These guys are acting as if they run a general government not a special tax district.
