This doesn’t sound like a Desantis victory. At least not according to one of his new, highly partisan, unqualified, members of his new Board.

I read it to mean 21 years after the death of the last living child of William or Harry that are already born. The youngest of which is now about 2. Any children born after the agreement are not considered.

I'd note that people in this family have a strange ability to live nearly 100 years, not even factoring in any advances in medicine the next 100 years might bring.

Ron better pack a lunch. This might be a long time.

Dr Ronny Jackson suggested 200 years for tfg. All these people are weird.

In their final days of controlling the Reedy Creek improvement district’s board, Disney executives and attorneys found a way to poison the authority of the incoming members appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis and effectively oversee the area’s development.

Bridget Ziegler vows transparency from position on new Tourism Oversight Board

By ABC7 Staff
Published: Mar. 1, 2023 at 1:50 PM GMT+1

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Sarasota County School Board Chair Bridget Ziegler says she’s honored to be appointed to a new board to oversee the area formally known as the Disney-controlled Reedy Creek Improvement District near Orlando.

Ziegler says its about balance and transparency. “Ensuring that no corporation has special privileges,” she said.

“Certainly, we understand that the tourism area is a point of pride in Florida and we need to maintain and ensure efficiency and beautification. However, we want to balance and make sure there’s transparency,” she said Tuesday at a rally for Gov. Ron DeSantis in Venice.

The new board was formed after DeSantis stripped control of the district from the Disney Corporation earlier this week. The district was created in 1967, partly as an incentive for Disney to develop its theme parks which now dominate the area. It gave Disney control over road and infrastructure development, the ability to levy taxes and issue revenue bonds, among other things.

Disney angered DeSantis last year over its opposition to a controversial education bill called the Parental Rights Education Act. The bill, which DeSantis signed into law, limits discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. Detractor of the law dubbed it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

When Disney employees criticized the company for not denouncing the legislation, Disney relented and joined with other groups to fight the new law.

DeSantis then retaliated by prompting the Legislature to pass a bill dissolving the Reedy Creek district and replacing its board with new, handpicked members.

The new board is named the Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board.

Ziegler will continue her role as chair of the Sarasota County School Board. “I am honored to serve the governor and Floridians. I am a mother of three, I have been a working mom of three since day one, and any mother that’s working mother knows that we are very good at juggling lots. So, I have no doubt that ill continue to do so,” said Ziegler.

Ziegler is no stranger to opposing Disney. Last year after the Venice High School Marching Band was told they couldn’t perform at Disney unless they covered up the Native American school logo, Ziegler took to Twitter.

“Shameful to see Disney continue to use children as pawns to advance their woke political agenda,” Ziegler tweeted.

The chair of the Sarasota County Democratic Party, Daniel Kuether, said they were surprised at Ziegler’s appointment. He questions how a Sarasota County School Board chair qualifies for the position.

“This is just an example of Ron DeSantis using his power to the fullest to do whatever he pleases. He’s surrounded himself with extremists like Bridget Ziegler in order to do his bidding as we’ve seen with ‘Don’t Say Gay.’ We clearly know he has other ulterior motives in placing her in this appointment,” said Kuether.

The board will meet for the first time next week. Ziegler said the meeting will determine the first steps the board plans to take with the district.

According to the former district’s website, the district encompasses four theme parks, two water parks, a sports complex, 179 miles of roadway, 67 miles of waterway, and the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista.

It also includes an environmental science laboratory where the continuity of water quality is monitored, an electric power-generating and distribution facility, a natural gas distribution system, a chilled water distribution system, water and wastewater collection and treatment facilities, a solid waste and recyclables collection and transfer system.

More than 40,000 hotel rooms and hundreds of restaurants and retail stores also sit within the district’s borders.

The district is responsible to oversee land use and environmental protections within the District, and provide essential public services (e.g. fire protection, emergency medical services, water production and distribution, wastewater services, drainage and flood control, electric power generation and distribution, and solid waste and recyclables collection and disposal.

It regulates the EPCOT building code; and operates and maintains all public roadways and bridges. and funds its operations, services, and capital improvements by assessing taxes and fees to the landowners and lessees, within the district, and by issuing ad valorem and utility revenue bonds.

TOPLINE Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) appointed five political allies Monday to the board that will now oversee Walt Disney World’s special district, giving donors, political activists and other GOP businessmen and attorneys power to make decisions about Walt Disney World’s property after Florida lawmakers penalized Disney for opposing the state’s law known by critics as “Don’t Say Gay.”

The Mouse brings so much to Florida, in terms of tourism, in terms of jobs, and many other things. DeSantis is determined to kill the golden goose just because the Mouse is LGBTQ+ friendly. Sad.

Big crowd. Hope the FL taxpayers are getting their money's worth.

Looks like a room full of old white people. How very on brand.

IT HAPPENED.

DeSantis waited until news of Trump's indictment to push through a repeal on Florida's resign-to-run law, which he has been in violation of for months.

Trump news is big.

Make sure you pay attention to opportunistic fucks like this, though, too.

Hell of a time to let people know you’re going to change the resign-to-run law.

He is not doing because they are LGTBQ but to pander to those who hate that they are. He doesn't give a rat's ass about Disney's opinion, unless he can use it to get the right outraged.

Florida cancels 54 science textbooks over ‘prohibited topics’ like Uranus

by ANDREW HALL
APR 18, 2022

Florida cancels 54 science textbooks due to references to the planet Uranus. The Board of Education is ecstatic and is also looking to ban any astronomy book that references the planet as well as the term black holes.

The planet Uranus is suggestive and may lead impressionable students to a life of sodomy.

Officials from the Board of Education said the books were banned because they did not adhere to the state Republican Party’s platform regarding the ‘Christ-based heterosexual missionary position.’

Teachers and other educated members of society are quick to point out that the planet Uranus took its name from Greek mythology. Uranus was an early god who personified the sky and has nothing to do with buttholes.

Florida’s vocal evangelical community pointed out that the First Commandment states that students shouldn’t worship non-God gods. There are many parents who are afraid their impressionable children will become interested in planetary motion, interaction, and, yes, even intercourse.

Governor Ron DeSantis leaped to defend the Education Board’s decision. “Critical race theory is being forced down our kids’ throats and Greek gods are pushed up our kid’s butts,” he said. “The liberal left is grooming our kids to hate white people and worship at the altar of anal exploration.”

Higher barriers in front to hide the platform heels, Trump flag stalking him in the back. He can’t completely control the environment now like he does in FL, but he sure is gonna try.

My add-on question would be: has SCOTUS ever decided on the validity and reach of "long arm" state statutes?

Many, many times. (Unsurprisingly, SCOTUS's recent decisions limit the application of long arm statutes more than prior caselaw.)

This morning, Governor DeSantis quietly, unceremoniously, and with zero pomp and circumstance, signed the Permitless Carry bill into law.

I can’t say I’m surprised by the way it was done considering even the Governor must know how wildly unpopular this bill is with Floridians.…

Edit: This was the 26th state, btw, tipping the US into majority of states allowing concealed carrying of firearms without a permit.

DeSantis launches civil and criminal investigations into Disney. That's how I reads it.

[Gregg]

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"

and the worst of all, "Never screw with Disney Lawyers".



Which is so true that I checked that none of the quotes or image I used belonged to Disney, which both are and now I am hiding behind a phalanx of Assault Dachshunds.
