They aren’t getting their special district back, so might as well really.

Iirc the special district still exists, Desantis tried to get rid of it initially but backed out of that plan because it would have shifted financial burden to the counties where it’s located. Instead Florida passed a law changing it so Desantis could appoint the board and renamed the district.

Oh no public money now has to be used to do all those things Disney paid for, leading to higher taxes. Yeah we showed them.

Ron knows that the taxpayers with the newfound burden were less likely to vote for him anyway. Larger urban areas in Florida lean blue, rural areas are red. Ron will screw Orlando relentlessly to make panhandle voters happy.

Actually most conservatives in FL are likely to believe this was Disney’s fault…

The headline is misleading. He’s saying they will lose and should just drop the lawsuit. He’s saying they can’t win against the state and that since their “skirmish” Disney hasn’t made a peep.

He’s bragging and still saying the same things. He raised the same points as before and has the same issues.

Edit: typo

You’ve almost verbatim repeated what is in the headline. The only part you didn’t repeat is, verbatim, a quote from Ron DeSantis. I’m lost as to what you find misleading.

I suppose it’s interpretation. I did t read the headline as bragging or continuing with the same fight but rather a plea to get them to drop the case. Because he’s moved on. I feel like my explanation provides more context to that missing piece.

I did read the OP title as Ron wanting to back down so your clarification helped at least one person. :)

Sounds like his team finally convinced him that this is a losing fight.

SO if someone hypothetically shot DeSantis in the back, it’ll be fine and there will be no consequences once they’ve ‘moved on’
