According to several local Florida news outlets, the Florida Legislature will hold a special session on Monday February 6 2023 to consider a state takeover of Disney World's Reedy Creek Improvement District.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, the Reedy Creek reorganization will be presented in Senate committees by Sen. Travis Hutson, R-Palm Coast.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said that the legislation will result in Reedy Creek board members being appointed by the Florida Governor and Disney paying upwards of $700 million in Reedy Creek debt.

The action by DeSantis comes in retaliation to Disney's public opposition to the parental rights law, which took place under the ex-CEO Bob Chapek.

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.
