This is the Way - Florida votes to remove Disney’s special tax status

Looks like he found a way to punish Disney for stopping the political contributions, punish the citizens of the two local counties Disney operates in (Those counties primarily voted against DeSantis), and fill his coffers at the same time.

Also, what definition of popular are we using? He only got 49.6% of the votes. Half his state didn’t even vote for him. Seems like they should have omitted the qualifier altogether, no? Originally Posted by Mistershark

That's why it surely FLEW thru the Legislature.

Correct - SB 4-C, dismantles ALL of the state’s special tax districts created before 1968.

And it is not going to cost taxpayers more because while that means employees and infrastructure would likely be absorbed by the counties, which would become responsible for things like sewer and road maintenance. In exchange, the counties would collect the tax revenue that Disney currently pays itself.

That bond debt will be made up in taxes that Disney now has to pay. That is what some are missing. Those bonds are supported by revenue that Disney pays itself (ie the special district). That revenue will now be paid to the counties to cover the debt

Anyway, even if Disney fights it in court or negotiates a settlement it's a victory against Woke corporations spouting woke bullshit to please a small group of their employees Originally Posted by berryberry

... Exactly - there's other ways to raise the money.

Truth is... this idea of tightening things on Disney
has surely been in the works for a few years now.

Yeah Salty - Libs like to ignore the facts. The vast majority of the Florida population supported the bill to not indoctrinate children in grade K-3 that Disney was upset about

This was a great day for Floridians. Not only did:

1. Disney's special tax breaks get revoked,

2. but the best Governor in America signed the redistricting bill (which no doubt the libtards will target in court even though it is far more compact than any of the blue state gerrymandered maps)

3. AND he also signed a bill that bans critical race theory in schools and work-place training !!!

A god damn trifecta of success against the woke libtards pushing this crap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Florida law bans critical race theory in schools, work-place training

So you’re pro billion dollar corporations not paying taxes and being exempt from environmental scrutiny? Does that apply to Exxon-Mobile too?

Disney LOSES nearly $50 billion in stock value since waging war against Florida's anti-grooming law. Going woke is doing wonders for their shareholders and business
