Mayor: Dissolving Disney's special district would be 'catastrophic' to Orange County budget

The Orange County mayor said he and his staff are trying to sort through the ramifications of the Senate vote to strip Disney of its self-governing power.

Mayor Jerry Demings said he doesn’t think the people who are voting on the decision have given any thought to the outcome.

The mayor was at Full Sail for an economic summit. The main focus was transportation and a sales pitch for his plan to increase the county’s sales tax by 1 cent to help pay for public transportation and road projects.

Demings said those investments would improve the county’s economy and help ease the affordable housing crisis.

Financial hardship, death, illness, injury of Americans are simply not on their radar.

the vote would have gone differently.

In other words, the devastation to Orange County's budget is a feature, not a bug.
