That didn’t take long! The FL House now gets the bill.

Florida Senate passes bill to strip Disney's special self-governing status

The Florida House still has to vote on the measure, which would dissolve the special taxing district that allows Disney to operate much like a local government.

The entire state, esp. central FL, is going to suffer if Disney suffers economically. If you've ever been to the Orlando area, it basically revolves around Disney and the tourism industry. DIsney is the crown jewel of that and employs huge numbers of people. So do all the other thousands of tourist attractions. AND all the motels, hotels, fast food joints, restaurants, souvenir shops, etc.

But Disney is what gets them to central FL.

DeSantis is stupid, short-sighted, and petty.

Will this bill prevent Disney from making money?

I am cool as long as marvel and Star Wars stuff keeps getting published.

Did I write that? Or is everything so black and white to you that that's what you understood?

Maybe you even need help understanding the concepts of "less and more?" That might be your starting point.

If they are not prevented from making money, how will they suffer economically?

Wow. If you have to ask that question...

That's comedy GOLD!

I wish the CEO of Disney would tell them: "Bring it on. We were thinking of moving to Georgia anyway"

 

[Mycroft]

Wow. If you have to ask that question...

So...you can't answer the question. Thanks. You are dismissed.

LMAO....YOU cant answer the question

Vindictive Bastages!

At the sake of being somewhat civil I will not say what I think of Republicans in all elected offices everywhere!

Use your imagination, for what the expletives might be, then double it!

 

[Mycroft]

I asked the question.

 

[Lursa]

I asked the question.

Yes, we saw. It's cringe-worthy that you dont know that answer.

 

[Mycroft]

Yes, we saw. It's cringe-worthy that you dont know that answer.

And it appears that you don't either.

 

[Lursa]

And it appears that you don't either.

Post 2 clearly demonstrates that I do. 😁

And you didnt even realize that!

 

[CaughtInThe]

Republicans are for tax breaks/etc for companies until they aren't.

But at least DeSantis is making lots of friends.

Why? You think Disney is going to up and move Disney World and Epcot out of the Orlando area?

 

[Rawley]

I wish the CEO of Disney would tell them: "Bring it on. We were thinking of moving to Georgia anyway"

DeSantis calling his bluff: "Go for it Mickey"

 

[JasperL]

Will this bill prevent Disney from making money?

Probably not. In fact it might offload $2 billion in debt onto Florida taxpayers.

If they are not prevented from making money, how will they suffer economically?

Good question. I mean, if I tax your wages at 99%, you're "not prevented from making money," so how could a 99% tax rate cause you to suffer economically. Deep thoughts required on this one. 🥴

 

[CaughtInThe]

Come on Mickey. POUR $$$$$$$$$ into Democrats campaigns!!!!

 

[Lursa]

Why? You think Disney is going to up and move Disney World and Epcot out of the Orlando area?

Your response is about as limited as Mycroft's. Wow.

Here's a hint, altho it was spelled out in post 2: it's about employment. "Do the math."

We've done the math. FL clawing back governance of the development won't change the number of visitors to Orlando or change the number of people employed in industry. Not one bit.

You know what will? Other states and LGBTQXYZ+ groups organizing boycotts to Disney World and the state of Florida.

Will they get taxed at 99%?

Oh ok. Sources please.

LOL why do you think that 'status' is valuable to begin with?

Maybe 🤷
