Loading ...Disney Pulled Fast One On DeSantis, Used ‘Royal Lives’ Clause To Preserve Power
“This essentially makes Disney the government…”
Weeks before Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) announced a new hand-picked board to take over Disney’s long-held special taxing district in Orlando, the company enacted a new rule which stipulates that any changes to the district must be made to benefit Walt Disney World. The agreement gives Disney development rights throughout the district, and “not just on Disney’s property,” and gives the company veto authority over any public project in the district.
The Feb. 8 document, first reported by the Orlando Sentinel, grants Disney “prior review and comment” over any changes made to properties in the district, formerly known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District and now known as the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.
That document also states that the declaration shall be enforceable “in perpetuity” or, if that is deemed unenforceable, “until 21 years after the death of the last surviving descendants of King Charles III, King of England.” –NBC News
According to the BBC, the “royal lives” clause used in the agreement date back to the 17th century but are rarely used.
“According to the BBC, the “royal lives” clause used in the agreement date back to the 17th century but are rarely used.” Wouldn’t that mean it was implemented when FL and the rest of North America were still British Colonies and therefore would become null and void once the US won it’s independence? If it went to the Supremes(if even necessary) would be declared null and void and Un Constitutional.
