A comment on Vote to dissolve Disney’s special district, eliminating privileges. Parent comment
You say "handled by the county" as if it's a burden, but that's literally the purpose of government.
The real burden is now on Disney, who has to demonstrate to the governing body that any given desired improvement is worthwhile to be approved.
Part of that is usually the "developer" contributing to the project cost.
Everyone is focusing on the money, but this is really about the ability to bypass government control.
Which is why Disney was so insistent on bearing these costs in the first place.
