Sorry, dude. That dog don't hunt.
Like chopped ham.
Florida had a myriad of different, complex types of special-purpose districts. The Florida bill will impact five other government districts in addition to Reedy Creek to foster a greater degree of public oversight. Disney’s infrastructure district, established in 1966 is unique in many ways. It was established for, and its board controlled by, a single Burbank CA-based corporation. The Villages is is a community development district. These are common not just in Florida, but throughout the US. In many ways, they are similar to HOAs. The Villages board members elected by the thousands of property owners within its boundaries. Under the new bill, board members will be appointed by the governor to four year terms. Two of the 5 initial members will only serve 2 year terms. Future governors will make future appointments.
Because none of the other special purpose districts are established for and controlled by a single CA-based corporation. Five other special government districts will be affected by the bill to foster greater public oversight. The Villages is a community development district. They are very common throughout the US. It’s board members are elected by the thousands of property owners within its boundaries. Two of the initial 5 members of the soon to be renamed district will serve 2 year terms. The other 3 will serve 4 year terms. Future governors will make future appointments.
That was back when a patriot owned the company.
Nazi sympathizers are not patriots, Adolf.
See? Pansy.Poor Mickey!
Not according to the experts. Once the district is resolved and reorganized under government leadership, the debt burden AS WELL AS the responsibility for all municipal services would fall directly on the counties that have that part of the district. Disney would be relegated to paying taxes like anyone else, but not more than any other resident (or business) of those counties. So the tax burden and responsibility for services (for which Disney has been up until now) would fall on the residents of the two counties.
Nope. Had that been the reason for this action it would have been undertaken right after De Santis was elected the first time. It was only discussed and implemented after Disney voiced its opinion on the "don't say gay" bill. This is a classic case of an elected official (and elected legislature) taking retribution on a private corporation for their opinion.
The local TV news reporter who wrote the article you shared cites ONE attorney (who apparently isn’t even affiliated with either Disney or the state of Florida) who thinks Disney would have a case *IF* they took the state of FL to court. The governor and state legislature and their legal staff obviously think otherwise. Floridians don’t appear terribly concerned about the fate of the woke CA-based company.
The lawyer and law office are based out of Maitland Florida.
If Disney filed a lawsuit, they would be the plaintiff and the state of Florida would be the defendant. The lawyer cited by the local tv news reporter does not appear to be affiliated with either party. He might be, but there is nothing in the story that indicates that. What exactly is your point?
Mickey is right. And future board members that oversee the district he lives in will be appointed by future governors. Happy mouse.
Yes, yes they will.
BabyBoobs 
When you look at the reality of the situation, politics aside, this will saddle the tax payers of the district with billions. Also Disney downsizing 7000 positions will not help the states economy in way.I was about to write the same response almost verbatim.
BabyBoobs constant failures are what happens when someone is obsessed with owning the libs / “woke”.
See this is exactly the problem. This isn't about some nefarious deed Disney has done. It isn't about a company from California running a part of Florida so Floridians are all pissed because outsiders have a say about an area the size of one of their counties. This isn't about Disney trying to get over on the state of Florida. This is solely about a "woke" corporation that De Santis is taking retribution on for expressing an opinion. It's a blatant and undisguised attempt to shut Disney up. Apparently you are okay with curtailing free speech as long as it's someone you don't agree with. But I know for a fact from your past posts that you go hermitile if anyone questions the veracity of anything said by a conservative.
Instead of people who live inside the RDIC.
Lol. A lawyer who practices in Florida, not affiliated with either Disney or the state government. Your reading comprehension is quite impressive!
Nonsense. Taxpayers are not picking up the tab and there are no reports that the 7000 jobs Disney is cutting are in FL.
Nobody is curtailing Disney’s free speech. They can be as woke as they want.
