Thank you for the polite response.

The allegation of  seemed legally flimsy to me due to that SB 4-C aims to dissolve all special districts in the state established before the ratification of the Florida state constitution in 1968, therefore Desantis would be punishing other districts due to Disney. Conceivably, other districts should also sue Desantis for dissolving their districts due to campaign retaliation, and for punishing Disney, and them too, for free speech. I did read Disney’s complaint, and understand the public statements made by Desantis and other officials that will be used against them. We all know what this is, I’m opining from a legal perspective. While I understand FL has over 1800 special districts, is there anything remotely close to the powers bestowed to Disney? While I understand your point that special districts aren’t privileges, but readily available tools under Florida law, many recent articles reference Disney’s half century of “special privileges,” because they have such supreme legal powers that dwarf other various types of districts. They are the Uber-District so to speak, because they have virtually every power any district could possibly have. That said, I think this is silly government overreach and grandstanding, and the only winners are lawyers and accountants. Desantis and Iger could be turning lemons into lemonade at a table together.

I typically post after reading the article, not browsing threads, and there are some regular ombudsmen that assume commenters read ALL previous threads, or should. I can’t follow threads easily as they jump around, so I might rehash something that’s already been explained or countered many times.  So I do appreciate your time and taking my comments in good faith.
