Mayor Demings will gave no choice but to pass the increased costs to the local taxpayers. The raising tourist tax and businesses won't pay for all these costs. When it hurts more to the locals let us see how this plays out. The FL legislators and DeSantis could care less.

The South Campus was not zoned for amusements. Universal made sure of that when they sold the land 20 years ago. They had to get it rezoned and their deed restrictions removed. The county isn’t going to change their zoning to go after Disney in retaliation for Disney agreeing with them.

Will you be the one to specific how Disney has a tax haven?
That's why he divided and conquered with retaliation successfully and got what he wanted.Ha, collateral damage. Your right he does not care about those folks, LOL.
You are right. He is a real politician
Its true, you can't care about everyone in your state, just the ones that win the election for you.

DeSantis' line at the press conference on this topic yesterday was generally "we are interested in the best interests of Floridians and won't have our state run by woke CEO's from California".
If there was a focus group watching, the dials would have broken off it would have been so positive for all political leaning groups in the state. Nobody likes Californians trying to bully their state.
He is on solid ground politically on this issue.
There is also a measure in the legislation that allows for negotiations to reinstate RCID in the future. This is all purely politics. There will be some money quietly exchanging hands and RCID will be all good. Might not even make it to June 2023 when this is supposed to take effect.
The CA based company called Disney is fueling the #1 industry in FL . It is called tourism but DeSantis could care less.

Portions were already zoned for amusements. Again, how does this even relate to the situation where the county is assuming billions in new liabilities without their involvement?
It's not retaliation - it's establishing a point of control and avenue to ensure they are partners in Disney's plans vs being ran over. It's about preventing by-right development they can't have a say in.

Do you understand the implications here? There is literally nothing to gain here other than Ronnie pumping his chest out. There is NO benefit to anyone but himself. The toll this would take on taxpayers alone is enough to cause pause. I know this won't end up happening but your comment is a bit short sighted, and a bit trolly as well.

I actually do like the site. I just wish the reporting on this was honest.

100 percent correct. Not that it matters. The train has left the station.Mayor: Dissolving Disney's special district would be 'catastrophic' to Orange County budget
Mayor Jerry Demings said he doesn’t think the people who are voting on the decision have given any thought to the outcome.
That reminds me, will we get the WDW RR back before or after RCID is removed?
DeSantis should be careful what he wished for. He might just get it.
We obviously have opposing views of the bill. I am writing what I believe to be the truth and facts. You are choosing something else. I standby it. I am sure you can find other sites that fit your views. This one isn't it.

I don't see how, politically, he could back away from it now. I think he's relying on the courts to step in and block it based on the past statute regarding the procedures for dissolving special districts.
It is ironic DeSantis worked this to his favor while making fun and ridiculing of TWDC , the company that fuels his state with visitors to support the #1 revenue generating in his state.

The first amendment does not entitle a corporation to a special-purpose administrative district.
I can't believe I have to make this argument from the right.

I oppose both and recognize them as the unconstitutional abuses of power that they are.

The county has no issue by by-right development. This isn’t going to cause them to suddenly have an issue with it.
