According to an article just published today in the Orlando Sentinel, the day before the Florida House voted to give De Satanis (R-FL) control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the private development district that Disney set up decades ago to facilitate its Orlando investments, Disney had the District effectively sign over all its power for the next 30 years.

The agreement allows Disney to build projects at the highest density and the right to sell or assign those development rights to other district landowners without the board having any say, according to the presentation by the district’s new special legal counsel.

The Mouse roared so quietly that no one heard it, until now. That sound you are hearing are MAGA’s Tears:

“We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it,” board member Brian Aungst Jr. said. “It’s a subversion of the will of the voters and the Legislature and the governor. It completely circumvents the authority of this board to govern.”

Yeah, you go do that, you fascist schweinhund.

You Take on the Mouse, You get the Teeth!

P.S.” Hat-Tip to The Mouse that Roared (1959), the film that featured Peter Sellers in three roles, and the earlier 1955 novel by Leonard Wibberly. One of my favorites. It’s a fantasy in which a tiny European duchy declares war on the United States and forces the USA to agree to peace on its terms.
