WESH 2 news was given an inside look at the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, which included a brief interview with the new district administrator, Glen Gilzean.

In his first interview since taking the $400k job in early May, Gilzean said that he is "excited about the future" and "bullish and optimistic that the future is going to look really good."

Asked about his relationship with Disney, Gilzean said, "I would say, under this independent government that we have, all of our ratepayers have now an opportunity to have a fair and balancing using the analogy. My job is to be the best umpire here to call the balls and strikes."

In responding to a request for comment by WESH 2, Disney says that since Gilzean has been on the job, he has not been in contact with the company. The district says he has been in touch with Disney about some bus routes and utilities.

You needed to go to the #1 party school. 😉 The Publix next to FSU's campus...and right across from fraternity row...was quite buzzing on Wednesday nights. I learned quickly to avoid it on that night.

Really? I've never heard of that and I've been to multiple Publixes around UCF campuses while a student haha.

What good does DeSantis provide being in the Senate ? His personality is as lackluster as his policies and with Trump back in the White House his political future is based on his success. Nobody is gonna be checking for those type of politicians any longer if the next four years turns out be garbage.
