Board transferred all it's power to Disney shortly before DeSantis' appointees took over

If true, who tipped off Disney? And was DeSantis aware that Disney knew?

100% one or some of the previous members took MASSIVE bribes. They need to investigate the previous members finances and then arrest them and the Disney agents who arranged the bribes to created this corruption.

Disney knew the takeover was coming because it was done pursuant to legislation and was well-publicized in advance. Yet Disney's move is one of the stupidest things that I have ever seen them do.

Governor DeSantis and the Florida legislature have a number of possible countermoves: have the legislature, ethics commission, and statewide grand jury investigate; have the new Reedy Creek board composed of DeSantis appointees sue Disney and use discovery and motion practice to make the case a PR and legal nightmare; propose and adopt legislation that would terminate the old Reedy Creek Board and set up a new governing district with expanded powers, including extra taxing and regulatory power against Disney; and publicly condemn Disney as a bad corporate citizen for its final, dishonest power grab intended to subvert the rule of law.

Disney will end up caving, even if only after suffering a substantial loss in reputation and public standing. DeSantis holds the high cards in this fight, which may well define his second term as governor.
