"the new board members said the old board made a 30-year development agreement with Disney just before the state-controlled board took over that stripped them of much of their power. "We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it,” said board member Brian Aungst Jr., the Orlando Sentinel reported. “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.”"
"He went on to say, according to WESH, “I can’t think of a more naked attempt to circumvent the will of the voters and the will of the Florida Legislature."
Disney stripped power of board before DeSantis takeover, new board says
"The previous board, which was known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District and controlled by Disney, approved the agreement on Feb. 8, the day before the Florida House voted to put the governor in charge. Board members held a public meeting that day but spent little time discussing the document before unanimously approving it in a brief meeting. 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."
