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

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Yep, Disney paid for all their own emergency services, now those services for those 25,000 acres will have to be paid for by the county. And the amount of taxes they pay will not change at all.

So, Disney DID revive Song of the South?

Oh, PLEASE don't throw me in the briar patch!!!

DeSantis is a great Governor and those Hollywood shitheads can just go and suck on a queers cock.

Another authoritarian fighting the "culture wars" via government mandates. Where's the fun in government if you can't use it to shove your values down someone else's throat?

 

[Nostra]

From the sponsor of the bill...notice the reason for the bill.

Fine said that the bill gives Disney more than a year to reorganize the district and to rethink its criticism of Florida laws.

So?

Woke Kalifornia Disney execs are still free to spew their lunacy.

Next?

You are correct, in California free speech is not punished by the State Government.

But in Florida it is. Dissent in Florida will not go unpunished.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Disney isn't even close to that, this is a blip in time. It's a hot topic now, but that will blow over
Central Florida has to be a mecca for the theme park for optimum business.

It is shame too, I would like nothing more than to see them close their doors and see where Florida makes up the lost tax dollars from?

DeSantis reflect the values of Florida and we are damn glad he is shoving this down Disney's throat.

However, as much as I hate the Disney shitheads I would rather have him push Constitutional carry.

Let's just hope that both Disney and Florida go bankrupt. They deserve each other.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

That is the whole point of this, cannot allow them to speak out, they must remain silent and compliant.

Which is why you never use government to dole out favors, because strings are attached....ALWAYS....and the government ALWAYS wins.

I'm sure you are. Some people think that's the purpose of government.

He's more interested in political retribution against critics.

Per their annual statement, Disney owns 18 hotels there with 24,000 rooms. They are Not going anywhere.

I imagine their campaign contributions may shift locally however...

In your scenario, punishment=taking away special favors Disney never should have had.

This was a mutually beneficial arrangement for both the state and the company. The company might be worse off with the change, but so will the state be.

Exactly. That's why I don't have much sympathy for Disney. Business aren't blameless here. They lobby for special perks. They need to understand what they sacrifice when they accept them.

It was a mutually beneficial arrangement for both the state and the company. Both of them came out ahead due to it.

And now, because of government action, GOVERNMENT comes out ahead, as always.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I do not think it can be shown the government will come out ahead. They may well end up losing money in the long run with the added cost they will now incur. All because Desantis got his feelings hurt.

Special tax districts are not unique to Disney or Florida.

The Disney dipshits are more interested in kissing China's ass and sucking queer cock.

They shouldn't have tried to take on DeSantis. He ain't a RINO pussy or Democrat turd.

Yes, he's a real manly man. Do you have posters on your bedroom wall?

 

[Billiejeens]

What is Disney doing to attempt to thwart the government? If that's the case, then I could agree with this. But if all they've done is state their opposition to the legislation, no, then punishing them opens a door they may never be able to close...

We may have a different idea as to what "thwart" means.
