Oh please, while you are demonizing disney, take a peek at the power of 'the villages' another special tax district for its republican owners.Revealed: how Disney hijacked Reedy Creek to become its own government
A new report reveals how Disney took control of Reedy Creek’s governing body and used it to maximize profits for half a centurythespectator.com
Boom! Bombshell time. Disney's true corruption has been exposed, and theyve been doing it for decades. The state of FL granted them the special taxpayer district to build a community, and they were lavished with tax and environmental breaks, but Disney never built what they promised. Not only that, Disney controlled the board, bribed their district employees and even paid their taxes for them for decades!
This is criminal, folks. Its both federal and state violations, and people will be going to jail. It make take a few years to sort it out, but justice is coming. I made a similar thread of this before when the investigation was first started, and the woke Disney lovers in this forum claimed it was all a lie- guess what, its now blown up in their faces!
And the kicker is, Disney could have avoided all this had they not gone woke and picked a fight with DeSantis. Textbook poetic justice.
IN 2019, RESIDENTS of The Villages, an iconic retirement community in Florida, were suddenly hit with a 25 percent hike in their property taxes. In the master-planned community of 130,000 across the state’s Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties, many residents are on fixed incomes. The tax hikes were intended to subsidize new developments south of the community, rather than cover new amenities or upgrades for current residents. The entity known locally either as “the developer” or “the family” benefited from the tax hike and could then escape paying fees associated with the expansion of their development. This week on Deconstructed, host Ryan Grim takes us to The Villages to meet residents who banded together to rollback the tax hike but who were ultimately blocked by powerful players. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the local political machine run by The Villages fought the residents, leading to one of their champions being thrown in jail.
Hiking their residents taxes in order to pay for the expansion of their business. Why don't they use their own money?
You disney haters, please defend the actions of 'the villages' and DeSantis.
