While constitutional law is very complicated, it’s easier to infer things about it than those crazy rantings during the pandemic.

Well.. critical thinking is a good skill that can be applied to many things. It's also something that is easy to spot as lacking.
Alrighty, new pacer filings in Disney v DeSantis.
Motion to disqualify the judge (IMO this is going nowhere), and 4 motions of appearance from CFTOD members, letting the court know to send correspondence, etc to the attorney specified.

You’re going to be waiting a very long time
The facts are the facts and DeSantis and the Republican Legislature are punishing Disney for Disney's speech. The motion to dismiss the Judge admits that by saying rather than abolish the RCID they put it under the control of a handpicked Board. The Govenor cant have it both ways, if abolishing it was okay and not a punishment, then keeping it but changing it to a Board appointed by the Govenor clearly is retaliation. As I have said many times the first bill may have survived but the second, February 9, 2023 wont. Plus based on other US Supreme Court Rulings the Court can keep part of a bill legal and only eliminate the unconstitutional part. In other words, the US Federal Court could rule the portion of the bill dealing with the CFTOD wad unconstitutional but the portion repealing the fist bill stands. Thus, the original RCID is returned to power and the first bill is repealed as the Legislature voted.

Both side judge shop just as both sides disqualify jurors that are not perceived beneficial to your case.

The highest courts will not rule for regulation over famous public traded business with world wide cache and firmly embedded in the ruling class…

Where do people keep getting the idea that Disney is short on cash?

“Disney is failing” “the ship is crashing” it’s all just conjecture, the company is not doing as well as it was before, but is still successful. As of Q2 they have 10B Cash on hand

If the second bill is reversed but not the first bill then wouldn’t that mean RCID is dissolved effective June 30? The first bill officially dissolved the special district. The 2nd bill in Feb reversed the first bill (undissolving it….is that a word
) and also changed the board

Statute 189.033 was not repealed by the legislation reforming the District. That’s why other districts were also rechartered. That’s why Disney is seeking relief regarding that law.
Update on the Reedy Creek firefighter/EMS union contract agreement with the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.
"Disney World’s first responders have approved a three-year labor deal that now heads toward the ratification process.
On Friday, 80 percent of the Reedy Creek Fire Department’s 185 staff members signed off on the deal, paving the way for a significant bump in starting firefighter pay and benefits, in addition to investment in transportation equipment and addressing safety concerns, union President Jon Shirey said.
Shirey said about 20% of members either did not vote or voted against it.
“Securing the vote favorably by those kind of margins is a testament to the work that’s gone into this contract,” he said. “It’s been in the works for nearly four-and-a-half years, so today certainly feels like a relief, but more still has to occur, so we’re cautiously optimistic.”
Representatives of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District did not immediately respond to request for comment."
-----
"If ratified, it will aspire to add 25 firefighters and 12 paramedics within the first year. The contract also enhances the EMS transportation system, which Shirey says modernizes operations and adds two fire rescue vehicles and two EMS ambulances.
In an effort to help recruit more first responders the contract, if ratified, will also increase the starter pay of a firefighter paramedic to $65,000 a year, up from $55,000 a year, Shirey said.
“When you look at the overall contract and big picture issues, we were really able to address all of those things,” he said. “And the district will have some things that they really wanted, too, like drug testing language, which was fine by us. As first responders we rely on the public’s trust and we don’t want anything to hurt that.”
The contract lasts until December 2025.
Increased wages will not be retroactive, and will start the week after ratification, Shirey said.
Central Florida Tourism Oversight District members will discuss the contract next week in a private meeting. A vote for ratification will be scheduled at a later time.
“This contract is going to show that both sides gave a little,” Shirey said. “It is ultimately a really great contract.”"

Federal Courts have used severability as a way to only eliminate the unconstituional part of a bill. Therefore the court can only rule on part of the bill if they wish. In this case that would be justice yet still leave open the possibility of ruling on the first bill if Florida Courts ruled the repeal was illegal.If the second bill is reversed but not the first bill then wouldn’t that mean RCID is dissolved effective June 30? The first bill officially dissolved the special district. The 2nd bill in Feb reversed the first bill (undissolving it….is that a word
