Central Florida Tourism Oversight District loses a board member after just a few months in the job

Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board member Michael Sasso has resigned this week from his board position after less than four months in the job.

Sasso was appointed to the board that replaced the Reedy Creek Improvement District by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at the end of February 2023. Other members of the five-person board are Bridget Ziegler, one of the authors of Florida's controversial Parental Bill of Rights law, Ron Peri, a former senior pastor of Evangel Baptist Church and now CEO of The Gathering, and lawyers Martin Garcia and Brian Aungst.

In his position as a board member of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, Sasso is being sued by the Walt Disney Company as part of the lawsuit against the entire board of the district and Governor Ron DeSantis.

There is no word yet on his replacement, and the next Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board meeting is scheduled for June 21.

Wegmans is much better than Publix for just about everything

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.

Lucky Florida. All the Publix’s in my area are where the local senior swinger clubs convene 🤢

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.
