I don’t know if anyone else has seen this, BUT,
Scott Randolph is a tax collector for Orange County, FL. Apparently, there are statutes suggesting that what Desantis and the Florida Legislature did, they cannot do without the approval of the residents of that special taxing district.
For more clarification, someone else posted the following state statute.
189.072 Dissolution of an independent special district.—2)a)
In order for the Legislature to dissolve an active independent special district created and operating pursuant to a special act, the special act dissolving the active independent special district must be approved by a majority of the resident electors of the district or, for districts in which a majority of governing body members are elected by landowners, a majority of the landowners voting in the same manner by which the independent special district’s governing body is elected. If a local general-purpose government passes an ordinance or resolution in support of the dissolution, the local general-purpose government must pay any expenses associated with the referendum required under this paragraph.
<I’ve bolded the most important part for emphasis>
This enclosed statute would appear to confirm Randolph’s assertions. Besides, I trust the above expert more than I trust Desantis. I was wondering if there is some confirmation of this.
