Florida Judge hears arguments in Ron DeSantis appointed Disney oversight board's lawsuit against Disney

Jul 14, 2023 in "Reedy Creek Improvement District"

Posted: Friday July 14, 2023 5:00pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

In the first face-to-face court hearing in the ongoing Disney vs. DeSantis/Central Florida Tourism Oversight District legal battle, a Florida Judge in a state court has listened to the arguments in the case brought by the CFTOD.

Disney argued that recent actions taken by the state have rendered the litigation irrelevant. Disney also says that Florida law mandates the state court to put the lawsuit on hold until the company's federal case against Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Tourism Oversight District is resolved.

After an hour of listening to both sides, Judge Margaret H. Schreiber of the Florida 9th Circuit Court took the matter under advisement, meaning more time is needed to deliberate and review the case thoroughly before a decision is returned. Both parties have until Wednesday, July 19, to submit their competing orders.

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.

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.
