Sorry Desantis, but I think Disney may have gotten the last laugh

    They are subject to the same state and federal environmental regulations that everyone else is and they maintain their natural and mechanical environmental filters better than any I have ever seen in 30 years in the infrastructure design, permitting, and maintenance business in the state.

    guess I have to quote the post to profess my admiration of G8. I'm'a slow learner, but this poster IMO is gold. very open minded, critical thinky cat. I apologize for not recognizing your badassness sooner.

    Looks like Florida Ron outkicked his coverage. I’m sure (or at least I hope) his lawyers advised him of this eventuality. But they should be embarrassed nonetheless.

    I wonder what Q and 95’s thoughts are on all this? After all, they think Desantis is a genius and the greatest thing since sliced bread.

    I said when this happened I didn't agree with it, like i have with many things DeSantis has done. But let's not hide the truth here. That is Dems only want DeSantis to lose because they know he is a huge threat to win the Election in 24. They aren't afraid of trump and want him to be the nominee because they can win even with a senile person as their candidate. Joy says the quiet part out loud. I even like the election denial throw in there LOL.

    Joy Behar hopes 'two-time loser' Trump gets GOP nomination so 'Democrats will win' in 2024

    It says the board still controls the roads and things so I suppose they could just let the roads turn to shit or change the speed limits to 10 mph or something and put a bunch of cops out there to write tickets. Make it uncomfortable for the tourists and use that as a bargaining tool to re-negotiate. But I don't think it will work, people love going to Disney too much.

    Already been stated, Ron really didn't lose since his priority from the beginning was the optics rather than the substance of his stunt with Disney and Reedy Creek.

    So turn Disney into a backasswards Waldo, FL speed trap, except essentially run by the state govt? Yeah, that would be about the most Flori-duh thing to do.

    Recently, Too Hot has been chock-a-block full of topics where CINO's want more and bigger government, with "liberals" suggesting keeping the freedom and autonomy with private entities.

    This is why Disney and the bond holders haven’t sued yet. Good luck to DeSantis’ board trying to get this repeated. That just increases their legal quandary.

    The Rule Against Perpetuity
    A common law property rule that states that no interest in land is good unless it must vest, if at all, not later than twenty-one years after some life in being at the creation of the interest.

    Don't forget the Cy Pres doctrine to make a complicated mess even more confusing.

    This law will change nothing in the short term, other than suck money out of public schools, give it to parents of existing private school students, and drive the price of private schools up even higher.

    I laughed because your post assumes DeSantis engaged in forward-thinking in making his decisions. I’ve only seen reactionary “look at me” governance from him.

    The more I think about this, the more I chuckle. King Charles III's youngest grandchild is Princess Lilibet "Lili" Diana, the daughter of Harry and Meghan. She'll be two on June 4th and they live in California. The average life expectancy of a female in the US is 77.28 years (81.75 in Canada & 83 in England).

    Using the US number, Lili can be expected to live another approximately 75 years. Add another 21 years in case this becomes a RAP issue, and Disney has their property tied up until the year 2119.

    The other 4 grandchildren are 3, 4, 7, & 9.

    Bravo, Disney, brilliant!

    I’m not sure the Rule against Perpetuities is even good law in Florida anymore. But man is it funny to read it deployed in this fashion.
