According to the documents we reviewed, the Board plans on introducing a “Superior Authority” section to the RCID Land Development Regulations. The proposed new section would give the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District authority over not only District planning and regulations but also those of the cities of Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake. The new section, which would be section 7-20.13 of the RCID Land Development Regulations, ensures that the District has absolute authority over the “reviewing, processing, evaluating, commenting on and approving, approving with conditions or denying applications for development orders throughout the District, including within the jurisdictional limits of City of Lake Buena Vista and the City of Bay Lake.”

Another change within section 7 of the RCID Land Development Regulations seeks to replace the Planning Board, which is a separate Advisory Board within the District, with the Board of Supervisors. The amendment would replace the Planning Board as the “local planning agency” with the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors would then be able to make development decisions and the amendment says that DeSantis’ hand-picked Board would be “the final decision-making authority for the District” and that “no further administrative appeal is available” once the rubber stamp Board has made a decision.

moRon #DeFascist turning even more fascist by the day. That’s one fragile and heavily bruised ego

What’s next? Super Duper I’m King Authority??

1. Is that anything like Wile E Coyote's claim to be a Super Genius?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

2. Is he going to declare himself Gawd next?

[LoisB]

5. He will have to fight TFG for that title.

3. There will be some litigation to watch

Disney has better attorneys than DeathSantis

4. Super Duper I'm King Authority

Why not? Who's going to stop him? After squeaking by in 2018, Florida re-elected this nitwit in 2022 with nearly 60% of the vote. Whatever DeSantis does is by definition what Floridians want from their god emperor. Vox populi, vox dei, and all that.

6. I don't think they can apply this to Disney retroactively. Disney would be "grandfathered." At

least that would be the way it would works Ma. and NH.

10. Probably how it works in most civilized States.

Florida has become a fascist state with Texas barking at it’s heels.

12. You have to remember

Nothing is being done directly to Disney. This is a public district for which the state has almost complete control.


The only check on the State of Florida has is the voters and public perception. If the public supports DeSantis and the state legislature and refuses to vote them out of office over this or other issues, there is very little Disney can do.

7. So these changes can be made without any public authorization, just the gov and his

personal board?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

8. Time for court.

[Bev54]

9. So who will win this showdown if it goes to SCOTUS? They are blatantly pro corporation

but also authoritarian.

13. He's going to put Disney on "Double-Secret Probation"

14. He's going to lose. They are trying to dissolve a city by

waving their magic wand.

15. Weaponization?

Thus looks like government weaponization against people and corporations? I think that House Weaponization committee should investigate?
