> I think that's going to cost the taxpayer in Florida a pretty penny It might, but Disney becomes a taxpayer as well and the county/state would not necessarily be under an obligation to maintain the roads and property to the same level that Disney presently does. This presents a huge challenge to Disney, because they need the property to be maintained at this level and need to have the flexibility that the special district affords them. Can you imagine the regular government permitting required to do what they do? Right now if they need to fill in a wetland area to build a hotel—no one outside of Disney need be involved in the yes or no of that decision. Whether or not it’s legal will be for the courts to decide…however, should it stick, make no mistake…this hurts Disney far more than it hurts the local tax payers. If it didn’t Disney would have ended this special deal long ago.
