George Santos is charged with 13 counts of fraud, lying, theft, embezzlement, and making false sworn statements. But while that case is in New York, its origins trace back to Melbourne, FL.

3/ Melbourne and Merritt Island FL are located in Brevard County which is home to Kennedy Space Center. Its also where Moms For Liberty originated, #1 for arrested capitol rioters, and home to #RandyFine...as well as many other shady circus characters.
Obnoxious lies by DeSantis: “They don’t want to have to pay the same taxes as everybody else, and they want to be able to control things without proper oversight.”
Disney pays the SAME % rate property taxes to Orange & Osceola County PLUS EXTRA taxes to #ReedyCreek district. /1

My deep dive last year describing what the #ReedyCreek Improvement District actually is. For the millionth time, it’s not a tax break, it’s not corporate welfare, it’s EXTRA TAXES #Disney pays AND they provide the services & don’t ask counties to do so mediaite.com/opinion/conser… /2
It is also a LIE that Disney is operating w/o oversight. The RCID building codes (the “Epcot Codes”) meet or exceed all state & federal requirements. Same with their environmental standards etc. FL legislature studied RCID in 2004 & gave glowing review. /3 mediaite.com/opinion/anothe…

3/ But let's start at the beginning.
In 2018, Disney spent 20 million dollars helping to pass Amendment 3 which took the ability to expand casino gambling in FL away from the legislature and placed it with the voters.

I'm pretty fn sick of the corrupt politics in Florida. Casinos, bigotry, Disney, election fraud, Russia, Elon, insurrection...Mormons? That's right, Central Florida has it all.

DeSantis’ spokespeople have been furiously tweeting and emailing that “partisan” media are making up “hypotheticals” and promising he’ll “fix” all the #ReedyCreek #Disney problems. But my articles & others like it are the ones dealing w/reality & law as it currently exists. /1
They’re the ones who passed a bill w/o a plan, who have been promising a plan for days & still have nothing to show. They promise Central FL taxpayers we won’t have to pay any extra taxes if RCID is dissolved. How?! /2
The laws on the books right now state that #ReedyCreek dissolves 6/1/2023 & their municipal bond debt will be transferred to the taxpayers of Orange & Osceola County. That’s not a hypothetical. It’s reality. /3

The relationship between Florida & Disney started
in 1965 when Walt began buying up worthless swampland in what was then the middle of nowhere
Disney wanted land, power, and control and they wanted it cheap!

Wasn't just cuz Walt wanted to build another Theme-Park,
“Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow”
or EPCOT
Disney wanted to build a self-sustaining 'imagineered' city where folks would live, work & play under the auspices of Disney

A large focus of the right-wing conversation is on Senate Bill 4-C & taking away the Reedy Creek Improvement District
is this a political punishment, is this against freedom of speech & 1rst amendment

legit concerns & I share some of them,
they miss the point of this move by @GovRonDeSantis & Florida GOP,
Ending #ReedyCreek is about putting Disney in its place & taking back control of Florida politics from the Mouse

Conservative Media Cheering DeSantis Crackdown on Disney Are Ignoring What a Catastrophe It Would Be for Florida mediaite.com/a/brvti via @mediaite #sayfie #ReedyCreek #flapol
Let's dig into this. One of the main points = Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) is SUPER complicated & has been around for over 50 years. It's a >$100 million annual operating budget to provide services over a 25K+ parcel that stretches across 2 counties. /2
Orange County includes Orlando and several other well-developed suburbs and cities. Osceola remains far more rural outside of the tourist corridor. Both counties are currently facing significant challenges related to skyrocketing housing prices, transportation needs, etc. /3
