    you are a retard

    Disney is not Reedy Creek? They control 67% of the voting block.

    Are you so math challenged, you actually think they don't control everything with 67% of the vote

    Fascist form of government is when people that live and work someplace have no vote at all. That is what the new district is under DeSantis.

    IMO, if DeSantis fights this all the way to the Supreme Court, he didn't know. If he doesn't, he did.
    The covenant the old board put in place requires that any legal dispute under the covenant be decided in Orange county with no jury trial allowed.
    The citizens of Orange county elect the judges. Disney is the largest employer and tourism is the largest industry.

    There isn't a federal issue here that I can see.

    What people will have a say? The board is NOT elected now. It is appointed by a politician that is not local.

    Would you be OK with the governor of your state appointing your local mayor, city council and school board and not letting you vote on it?

    yes, the board is elected - we already covered this. you even provided a link explaining how the election works

    just as Mussolini was elected, Disney has elections in the Reedy Ceek district. Every landowner gets to vote

    once we can get rid of that bullshit, citizens will finally have a say.

    That was the OLD board until DeSantis took away the ability to vote.

    Geeze. you are a moron.
    Now NO ONE gets to vote for the board. Not a single person or citizen gets to vote for the board.
    The board is no longer elected. It is appointed by a Governor that has no connection to the local area.

    Why did DeSantis appoint millionaires?

    Is he not a "man of the people?"

    I'm not a lawyer nor a business guy. Agreed this isn't a federal issue. The link mentioned taking it to SCOTUS if need be. I'm taking the link's word that it was a valid option.

    What I'm curious about is how much DeSantis fights this. If he makes a big stink about it, then he was, indeed, blindsided. If he doesn't, then that indicates to me he knew it was coming and doesn't care. He'd made his point and still keeps the Disney Golden Goose for tax revenue. Win-Win!

    The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District has not started yet - no board exists

    Once that takes shape, the citizens get to directly vote for the Governor, and the senators, who pick the board/approve the pick

    Right now the board is hand picked by Disney Corporation - and citizens of the state have no role in who makes up Disney Corporation -

    you are a moron thinking the Reedy Creek model is a more democratic form of governance than Central Florida Tourism Oversight District will be.
