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

[struth]

The state doesn't pay for it. Disney does. The citizens of Osceola and Orange counties do now.

why do they pay for a private companies infrastructure?

 

[struth]

That law was passed by Conservatives looking for Disney to invest in their state

An area that had no infrastructure and Disney offered to pay for roads, water, electric, sewers

Now, thanks to Republicans, the two counties taxpayers will pay for it

why do the taxpayers have to pay for a private companies roads, electric and sewer?

 

[rightwinger]

And DIsney is the main taxpayer in the two counties.

So how does that hurt the people?

Disney used to be the sole taxpayer for that district

Now it looks like the counties will pick up the tab

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

What the Florida Senate did by voting to end Disney’s tax privilege sends a clear message that DeSantis will not be manipulated by corporations or their lobbyists. In Washington DC, that is a dangerous power to wield

Florida Senate Passes Bill to Eliminate Disney’s Special Tax District

The state’s Republican-led House is expected to approve the measure as Florida takes aim at the company’s opposition to gender and sexuality legislation.

It sends a message all right. It shows that DeSantis is a far right wing Nazi who does not believe in free speech. That is interesting because far right wing fascists claim their free speech rights are being denied. They are the ones attacking free speech. David French is a real conservative like myself who has not sold out to the far right. Her put it best when describing you fascists. "Free speech for me but not for thee."

Actually, you are dead wrong. The Florida Legislature was controlled by the Far Left until the 1990's, including when this was passed.

This is why the Leftards were pissy about this. They support oligarchy.

Let the people of Orlando rule over the Disney property, and let Disney pay taxes to support the schools in Florida- where homosexual techniques will not be taught to kindergartners, much to Disney's chagrin.

Actually, it shows the contrary- out of state oligarchs like those who run Disney don't get a say.

Florida voters do.

 

[ThisIsMe]

How to you propose Disney actually do something to overturn the law?

Don't know, ask them, they are vowing to help repeal the law.

Just heard it on the radio. There are estimates that this will cost Disney up to $200 million per year.

Not to mention they're going to have to apply for a permit for absolutely everything now. Bye-bye to the days where they can just pop up a building or add a bunch of wild animals to a property without a permit. Nightly fireworks? They're going to be paying out the ass for that permit.

It could also cost Florida as they rely on sales taxes. Fewer visitors means less revenue. This is cutting your nose off to spite yourself. Apparently blue states are more business friendly.

It shows that free speech rights are under assault from Republicans. Disney has free speech rights as well.

Because they do. Are you unware of that?

They have free speech rights, sure. But they also have the right to pay taxes and be ruled over by the people of Florida. The idea of Oligarchs ruling over themselves is unamerican.

It is a wonderful place!

They don't. Disney is the one that pays Osceola, and Orange counties bills. Not the other way around. Disney pays for their total infrastructures, including police, fire, sewage, water, roads, power. Not to mention provides 77,000 jobs as Floridas largest employer. They also bring in billions with the 58 million people that visit Disney World every year.

Florida needs Disney. Disney doesn't need Florida.

Do you really believe that some dipshit wannabe that barely won his election by 32, 000 votes, is really going to win against the largest money maker in the state, that was around before he was even born?

You really believe that?

Disney will continue to pay the taxes they owe to Osceola and Orange counties, and even more now. They won't be self-governing.

 

[Flash]

Desantis margin of victory 32,000 votes

Disney employees 77,000

Disney annual tourist figures 58 million

Loser citizens of Osceola, Orange counties that inherit $ billion tax bill, and cost to support police, fire, sewage, water, roads, etc.

Anyone who thinks this is a winner for Republicans

Delusional

You are the one that is delusional. It is a winner for DeSantis.

Trump won Florida by several hundred thousand votes. Those people will vote for DeSantis.

DeSantis was not that well known four years ago but he is now. Besides, he was running against a corrupt dumbass Negro, which always brings out the number of Moon Bat assholes to the polls. The announced Democrat candidates aren't that well liked, especially the front runner Nikki Fried.

I suspect Desantis will win by 60% of the votes, providing the Democrats don't steal the election with unverified mail in and harvest ballots in Democrat districts. Florida Republicans won't let them get away with it unlike was done in the 2020 Presidential race.

yeah, i was…nobody but me made for my driveway, My company pays its own water, sewer and electric bill…not the taxpayer

It sends the message that the Libtard California assholes need to shut the fuck up about how we Floridians should raise our children. They can take their filthy Groomer shit and go fuck themselves.

I think they got the message loud and clear.

However, don't you butt hurt Moon Bats fret too much. There is a stipulation in the bill that Reedy Creek can be reestablished again next year by another vote by the Legislature.

It looks like DeSantis is doing the right thing and telling Disney to shut the fuck and if they do and grovel a little bit and fire their Groomer CEO maybe, just maybe, they can get their Reedy Creek corporate privilege back again.

Good politics against the Left Wing queer turds.
