Legit question, is that a power provided by RCID that other districts do not have or is it just that Disney can afford to bring on more staff as needed?
And I imagine that openness you mentioned is how, in part, you have formed an opinion that what the state has done/is doing is completely unconstitutional.
Not to mention ABC News. Can’t publish a story critical of the administration without fear of retaliation
Until those companies start acting on behalf of the government. Under pressure from the government.
There are 1,800+ special districts in the state. RCID is not that unique.
It wasn’t a straw man. But it was off topic so I’ll end the point.
Well the Supreme Court has decided that corporations have the right to engage in political speech.
None of which are controlled by or exist for the near-exclusive benefit of a single multi-billion dollar international corporation.
Yeah. This precedent may come to be very important. Depending on where this all goes.
How many of those special districts have one single corporate owner which restricts who it permits to live within boundaries of said districts?
Trust in the courts is at an all-time low.
You are remembering correctly. My brother and I both had one, and we would run around Ft. Wilderness "killing" everything in sight! The sold them at the campground and in Frontier Land.
It’s an indirect power that comes from Disney’s control because Disney doesn’t have to compete with other constituents. If the City of Orlando was short staffed Universal could lobby for more staff but could ultimately not prevail.
Yeah. Unfortunately the fault of the two other branches IMO.
I'm sorry but I don't buy this. NOTHING is stopping other companies from doing the same thing. There are laws to setup a special district and any one of them can do that anytime they want. They don't because they don't need to. None of them own a sprawling, city size complex that requires city level public works.
Of course they do.
What unique things do you take issue with? Why won’t you give use specifics? Is it the more restrictive building code? Running their own sewage services?
Disney is not the sole landowner. Many districts are created by a single land owner. Nothing prohibits districts from encompassing only a single landowner. You could right now go buy up 1000 acres and get yourself a community development district and you would be free to decide to who lives there just like any other property owner.
Got it, but that is kind of my point. RCID itself is not providing a direct special power that somehow only Disney has and that seems to be what a lot of people (not you) are trying to argue while ignoring the fact that other companies can do similar if and when it makes sense for their business.
