Disney - Are they playing 3D Chess? 'no records exist' for Moody's probe into Disney agreements

[TheBlackAdder]

.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody came up empty on a public records request that sought to gain insight into agreements the Reedy Creek Improvement District’s board made with Disney ahead of a state takeover.

The district, which oversees government services for Disney World, determined “no records exist” for the request filed on March 30 by Moody’s office. A similar request filed by the Orlando Sentinel also yielded no documents.

Moody sought “documents discussing an intention or goal of circumventing, avoiding, frustrating, mitigating or otherwise attempting to avoid the effects of anticipated actions by the Florida governor and the Florida Legislature.”

2. The mouse ate the receipts.

Someone on another forum said: "DeSantis keeps slamming his ____ in a drawer over and over again."

8. Ouch!

3. depends on what you ask for

Moody sought “documents discussing an intention or goal of circumventing, avoiding, frustrating, mitigating or otherwise attempting to avoid the effects of anticipated actions by the Florida governor and the Florida Legislature.”

no such records exist because he asked for records of a very specific nature. if he asked for records of the completely legal and publicly announced meeting held on the changes, then they could provide him with those. but instead he chose to imply wrongdoing in his obnoxious snot-nosed brat asking, and Disney told him to go fuck himself with his accusations.

4. That was my thought as well

Their goal was to prevent future problems with the board. That doesn't exactly line up with the request. And there may not be any documents--nothing written, nothing to produce.

Check. (Mate TBD)

6. Moody demands to know when Mickey stopped beating Minnie

11. *she

[RockRaven]

5. "Sorry, no records like *that* exist..."

That meaning "discussing an intention or goal of circumventing, avoiding, frustrating, mitigating or otherwise attempting to avoid..."

You didn't ask for the "perfectly innocent and coincidental..." records. Plausible deniability strikes again!

[Thomas Hurt]

7. Moody didn't expect to get any, he just wanted to perform a bit of political theater...

to imply that there was underhandedness going on. Dust with a little christofascist conspiracy theory and serve.

[Lunabell]

18. She

Ashley Moody.

9. Disney...

...has stated the everything they did was legal, above board and that they had public announcements and public meetings, the records where available to substantiate that. They just did it faster and better then the Swampland Mussolini.

Did none of those fools read Carl Hiaasen's book "Team Rodent"? You don't fuck with the Mouse.

[MMBeilis]

10. Hiassen's books are wonderful. He has given state government officials, Chamber of Commerce.....

.....folk, tourism and sugar industry promoters heartburn and peptic ulcers for years. All of this before "Florida man" and idiot Desantis. Haven't read the one you mention, will look for it.

12. I know that when I'M planning something illegal or underhanded,

I take pains to meticulously document everything. In triplicate.

So, Harvard, you gave this guy a JD? You got some 'splainin to do.

[In It to Win It]

13. I just want Disney to slap DeSantis and company around a little bit

14. I have little doubt those plans were in a file folder

labeled Contingency. I’m sure there are a lot more after this one. They figured out a way to buy all that land cheap. I’m sure they’ve figured out a way to maintain control of it.

15. IIRC, the previous owners didn't know they were dealing with Disney.

The company had sent out various Huey, Dewey, and Louies to negotiate separately, with no obvious connection with each other or the company.

I'm basing this on a (maybe flawed) recollection of an article in the December 1974 issue of Playboy titled "A Real Mickey Mouse Operation." (Just to show that yes, I did occasionally read the articles.)

[Phoenix61]

17. You are correct. It was definitely a stealth purchase.nt
