The Sentinel has been doing this kind of reporting about these taxing districts for at least 25 years that I know of. They used to spend a lot of time going after Disney (a.k.a. Reedy Creek Development Corporation) as Disney negotiated such status from the State of Florida as part of the deal to build DisneyWorld. Disney never advertised in the Sentinel, and lo & behold Disney seemed to always be a major target of the Sentinel's "investigative reporting."

Funny, but I never remember seeing any TV advertising in the Sentinel either? What a coincidence!
Yes Steve, and the realtors must be fuming in Orlando too, with 70,000 people who want to live in Central Florida, but didn't chose Orlando.
