Nothing in there even vaguely supports the claim from your earlier post.

Is there “more to the story” than I fit into a single line? Of course… but unlike yours… nothing in the “more” was inconsistent with what I posted.

Cho (Hollywood reporter?) does get one critical fact wrong. Disney does not retain any special powers. The district that was created to accomplish that retains almost all of those powers… but the power to control that district just shifted from the corporation to the state.
