“In the final analysis, Disney has still pretty much skated.”

Not how I see it. Their governing board has been REPLACED with conservatives.

Now the REAL work begins. Give the new board a “minute”.

I did not say I wasn't willing to be patient and see how this plays out, just expressing my opinion on it right at this point. It's a start. I don't really know what powers the governing board has for the district. Whether any of these other things below can be changed without going through the legislature, although I doubt that's the case.

I suppose it's possible that there's a game plan to whittle away at these other ridiculous perks that were given Disney. Wait a while and maybe the governing board asks the legislature to make a little change here and a little change there. This is what we're going to have to wait and see.

But under the bill, Disney would retain almost all of its exemptions from a host of regulations, taxes and fees in addition to powers allowing it to act much like its own government, including the issuance of bonds.

Actually they are fortunate to have a governing board of conservatives. The board will be run like a business i.e. efficiently.

The board has taxing authority, Disney deserves a board of liberals who like high taxes and hate rich people.

Really? Republicans and conservatives usually like “privatization.” This is government takeover over the exceptionally run Reedy Creek. While you may not like Disney’s wokeism, who does, a new government is going to be hard pressed to improve the function of Reedy Creek. I am sure there are other water districts or democrat run cities that would be better served than a district that should be a model to follow. DeSantis needs to address homeowners’ insurance and the Everglades in very, very meaningful ways.
