"In January 1990, RCID was granted a $57-million allocation of tax-free state bonds over an agency with plans for a low-income housing development and all additional government applicants in a 6 county region as state distributes the bond proceeds on a first-come order. Disney was criticized for the move with a Republican gubernatorial candidate filed a lawsuit to stop the RCID from using the funds. Also, one legislator moved that would limit the RCID ability to apply to the program and other talk about stripping Disney of the RCID.[8]"
I've read this paragraph 3 times now, and I still don't understand it. Every sentence is either oddly phrased or grammatically incorrect, and the result is an unintelligible blob of words. I'd revise it, but I'm not even sure what idea(s) the writer intended to convey. -- 2602:30B:8260:5109:F4A1:8F1A:207B:6071 ( talk) 06:54, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
Politics through time is funny. The expected POV for this topic has changed its polarization from one end of the US political spectrum to the other.

So there's somewhat of an edit war between editors who want to include the dissolution date in the infobox, and those who want to exclude it. To try and stop that, and so we can actually establish a consensus I've opened this section to discuss.
Should we include or exclude the dissolved date in the infobox?
Be approved by a majority of the resident electors of the special districtor
Be approved by a majority of the landowners voting in the same manner by which the special district's governing body is elected. I suspect it is very unlikely that Disney or its executives, as the sole landowners in the district, or the Disney employees who live in Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, will vote in favour of dissolving the district. And to address concerns over this being a huge pile of OR speculation, we have reliable sources like Hollywood Reporter and LA Times that assert this. It also seems very likely that Disney will use their lobbyists to put pressure on the state legislature, and/or launch a series of court cases as asserted in Yahoo Finance. Per the WP:CRYSTALBALL policy point, which is a subset of the WP:NOT polic,
Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation or presumptions. Wikipedia does not predict the future. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred.It strikes me as presumption that this bill will remain unchallenged in any way, and come into effect in June 2023 as it currently stands. Accordingly, while we can mention that a bill was passed to dissolve the district, and the circumstances surrounding the rather rapid pace of that legislation being drafted and passed, we cannot presume that the district will dissolve according to the plans laid out in the bill.

I like to fill in info boxes with as much data as I can, but in this case I agree with Sideswipe9th that it has not actually happened yet. Comfr ( talk) 19:43, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
What SideSwipe9th said, and also, there is no "dissolved_date" field in this infobox. The closest thing is "extinct_date" which, again, hasn't happened yet. Trivialist ( talk) 23:25, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
@ Mmw09 and HapHaxion: starting this thread so we can actually discuss what's going on with the district.
I'm seeing conflicting reports on how the district is described in relation to today's announcement. On the one hand I'm seeing a handful of sources like WFTV9 and WBPF stating that the district was dissolved. On the other, I'm seeing sources like Deadline, Miami Herald, and CNN stating that the district was not dissolved and that DeSantis has simply appointed a new management board and that the district might be renamed in the coming weeks/months.
May I suggest that we slow down here a bit, take a survey of all of the available sources, and figure out what the balance of reporting on this is? Sideswipe9th ( talk) 20:26, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the previous board passed legislation to restrict the authorities of the new board. Orlando Sentinel. This legal dispute may need its own section to cover the issue, so starting a place for that discussion. OriginalOranges ( talk) 21:43, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
Current wording:
In the second sentence, the word "district" would appear to most readers to be referring to the "the district [that] was created on February 27, 2023", but what it's actually describing is the original RCID. -- NapoliRoma ( talk) 21:59, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
