Very little of that piece said anything about what the supposed deficiency was. Just a claim that the mail notice wasn't made. Not sure how anyone could prove that.
According to
Florida statute, local governments — in this case, the Reedy Creek board — are required to take three steps when making changes to special district agreements such as the one that established Disney’s quasi-governmental status. They must hold two public hearings, advertise those hearings in a local newspaper, and offer notice by mail to “all affected property owners before the first public hearing.”
In a statement to the Associated Press, Disney
said the agreements took place in public.
“All agreements signed between Disney and the District were appropriate, and were discussed and approved in open, noticed public forums in compliance with Florida’s Government in the Sunshine law,” the company said.
Disney’s first hearing on the issue was held Jan. 25, and the second on Feb. 8. The company advertised proceedings in the Orlando Sentinel. The last requirement of Florida law, however, that all affected property owners be given notice by mail, was skipped entirely, according to sources familiar with Disney’s proceedings. The missed mandate means the company would have to restart the process for its 11th-hour resolution to be valid.
I am not a lawyer, but I've been following enough of this to understand what standing is. The Governor doesn't have standing. The new board doesn't have standing (and didn't even exist). As far as I can tell, only an affected property owner would have standing.
