Former Reedy Creek goes silent on firefighters' contract around Walt Disney World

That’s what happens when you have no power to increase your budget because of an agreement made by your predecessor and you are trying to sue (and pay for lawyers) to overturn it…

That's not true at all. The district can levy taxes and set ad velorem fees as necessary.

Maybe I am misunderstanding but what motivation does the new board have to not just give the union whatever they want?

If they agreed to a contract with much higher wages with the idea that Disney will be forced to pay whatever is in the contract, you run the risk of upsetting mayors and city councils across the state because there will be upward pressure on wages expected for their fire departments.

The Republican appointed board giving 100% in to a unions demands? Who would have thunk it?

Thumb in eye of woke corporation versus kowtowing to union demands. Decisions. Decisions.

From what I have read, the board is talking with the union. Wouldn't expect the board would be proposing to increase the compensation under the contract. But maybe so.

I mean this BOD is not exactly apolitical...

firefighters at the theme park were among the few employees who publicly welcomed them

Thank you very much for your support. The contract from the woke corporation was not good enough. Don't you deserve better. Isn't Ron DeSantis a great guy? I wouldn't put it past them (him).

I was also taken aback by the $400k number. Is that what the previous administrators were paid?

This says its $45k more than predecessor.

I make a good salary for a similar type of position...but it is nowhere near $400,000k. That being said, when there are few "taxpayers" to complain about the salary...does he (or anyone) care?
