DeSantis-backed board will pay $6.5 million in legal fees as it battles Disney
The amount is more than triple what the district typically pays.

New figures released Wednesday find the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District anticipates it’ll spend $4.5 million in legal fees in 2024, after already incurring $1.9 million in costs this year. The figures were presented as part of the district’s larger budget proposal led by Glen Gilzean, the district administrator.
One of the more contentious budget items set to be excised was $2.5 million in Disney World perks for roughly 400 district employees, a tab the district picked up for decades. One firefighter who spoke during the public comment period in the meeting broke down in tears over the change, saying he otherwise couldn’t afford to take his family to the parks
So the board is now so broke they're having to cut all the benefits that city and state employees used to get to pay the legal bills they're racking up in a lawsuit that DeSantis himself has walked away from.And they're still going to lose, which of course will bankrupt them entirely in settlement and paying Disney's legal fees as well.
You can't fix stupid. Maybe people will think twice about voting for idiot racist republican blowhards. I doubt it, but maybe.
