Florida Senate, on a 23-16 vote, just passed legislation ending Disney’s tax privilege, self-governing power & special exemption status

What right is Disney Inc being denied?

Do you deny that a corporation has a right to free speech? That is the holding in cittizens united. (I thought the Sup Ct decision was simply wrong on that.)

[Mac-7]

Not according t Fla law. The bonds will now be owned by the counties, not by Disney

Ok

lets say its a water treatment plant

Disney will have to pay whatever the state wishes to charge till the bonds are paid off

 

[Missouri_Mike]

As they should be. Expressing an opinion on a law should not be...yet here we are with you defending it like the Big Government loving authoritarian that you are

Big Parent is kicking the shit out of your Big Government plans. And no we aren’t going to have any discussion of how much grooming you are allowed to do. The answer is none so deal with it.

 

[Mac-7]

the will own a water treatment plant. They will now have to run it and pay for the upkeep and deal with almost a billion dollars in bond debt.

See post #889

The problem with Republicans endorsing this kind of governance is that they have no room to complain with when Dems use it to fuck with them. That's fine, as far as it goes - they deserve it. But the rest of us don't deserve it.

Why don't you all just take your culture wars and shove them up your big dumb asses?

The rates for it would be the same as for the rest of the county. It is not just a county assets and they cannot charges Disney more than they do anyone else

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Yes they can for the right reasons. That was not the case here. They took it away for the sole reason that Disney spoke out against them.

The thing about making grandiose woke stands is the can backfire big. Most people had probably forgotten about Disneys sweet ass tax deal, until they threw themselves into something they shouldn’t have. Attention brings scrutiny to areas you may have preferred stay hidden.

Dude, this is Big Government at its finest. Say something bad about the Government and be punished.

You are cheering now, but wait till Big Government comes after something you support and punish them.

but they are too short sighted to see this.

You wish

Its not a county-wide treatment plant but one only for Disney

And Disney will pay through the nose till the debt is paid

The deal was just as sweet for the state, probably more so even.

county water is county water, they cannot charge one part more than the other part.

Yes they can

and they will

Yep, just like this administration has done repeatedly using social media as their proxy. They are punishing those that speak out against the current administration.

"We are in regular touch with social media platforms” about COVID-19 related misinformation, including misinformation about the COVID-19 vaccine,” Psaki said. “We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook.”

Don't believe for one minute they don't do the same for any other information(Hunter Biden) that they deem to be "misinformation."

You are cheering now, but wait till Big Government comes after something you support and punish them.

As pointed out above, it was done and continues to be done by this administration.

 

[bodecea]

I guess Disney will now lay off all it's fire fighters, EMTs and it's own police.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Yes they can

and they will

Not if they don't want to lose in court.

Judge "Why are you charging this group for more their water than the rest"

County "Well, they pissed of DeSantis".

Which they can tax Disney to fund.

Yep, then there will be worse retaliation, on and on. The spiral continues.

The ends of the spectrum just refuse to learn.
