yes, according to this Duke operates the facility and sells the power to RCID through a power purchase agreement.

You’re not alone. Neither did DeSantis.

If RCID didn't give Disney an advantage, why would Disney care about losing it?

Oh for the love of Pete he didn't threaten to build a prison.

If this is about Disney having an unfair advantage why aren't they unwinding the special district over time to allow outstanding debts to be paid off without adding any more? They could have done that without any issue.
This isn't what's happening in Florida.
Insurers are leaving the state altogether and dropping EVERY insured in the state. Citizens, the state run insurer of LAST RESORT is now the only option for a shockingly large number of residents.

The court will consider the context of the statute, which is to clarify that subsequent state and federal laws and regulations can override the development agreement. Now it’s not directly stated in the statute but it’s implied that those laws must have a legitimate public purpose. For example, let’s say a city entered into a development agreement which permitted a developer to construct a daycare facility next to a public dump. The state later passes a law banning daycare facilities from being built within a half mile of a dump. That is the purpose of the statute. It is essentially there to solidify the contracts clause test.
Further, if the legislature specifically target this development agreement, Disney could also allege a class-of-one Equal Protection violation.

Why did he even float the possibility?

Of course it gave Disney advantages. That’s why special districts are created.

The two are unrelated.
I'm pleased to see a repeal of corporate welfare. I'm not bothered that the reason for the repeal of the corporate welfare is a petty political squabble.
And most people outside of Miami have never heard of the town of Medley, that has more businesses than residents. Yet there you go.

Without RCID Disney would have had a more difficult time building WDW and may have selected a different site. It’s an “advantage” for Disney because of the size of the property they have. That doesn’t mean it’s an unfair advantage over competition. Why would Universal, Sea World or any other competition want anything with a similar size and scope as RCID? They would not. So it’s not really some competitive advantage as is being portrayed.
Agreed
Disagree. This bothers me dramatically.
This is crap out of third world countries, not the US.

I guess you missed the press conference where he said they might consider building a state prison on the district’s land. His words not mine.
Sounds about right.
Florida's weird.
I can afford to buy a house here. I just can't afford to buy a house and insure it. It's cheaper to rent.
