You never ever answered my initial question though. Why did Disney deserve to have this? Idc why it was removed. Find me a "conservative" company that has the same privilege. Then we can talk about if I take the same stance as you.

If they turned their Reaganomics millions into billions during the tech boom, then that was money reinvested in our economy.
One hell of a hill to die on. Democrats supports pedophiles
Decent example honesty. Remind me, which party has been giving constitutional rights to businesses for YEARS? Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.
If freedom to assemble and to protest on public property comes with consequences from the gov, is it freedom?
If walking through an open door (through which you are waved or pushed) is trespassing and worthy of months of incarceration, is it politically motivated prosecution or justice according to the law?
Is it freedom if you can be monitored, your phone tapped, your calls intercepted, your browser windows and history read in real time, your family stalked on their own land, neither unannounced nor invited, and then you, your family, your cattle, or your pets harrassed and shot there, without due process or recourse afte the fact, and the abuse of the court system brought to full bear on what remains of your life?
If you can be arrested and detained indefinitely by your own gov on foreign soil without due process, just cause, or actual charges, just because, is there really any gov of the people by the people and for the people?
We can do this all day and night...
If you wear the right armband on your sleeve, and have the party behind you.
I'd be interested to see how Florida intends to finance this.
Also, there is going to be some pretty extensive litigation coming out of this that the Florida taxpyers are going to be footing the bill for.

Florida taxpayers could face a $1 billion Disney debt bomb if its special district status is revoked
The Florida legislature on Thursday cleared a bill that would dissolve Disney's special improvement district, effective June 2023.
Because your initial question does not matter. You can keep asking it but it does not matter. Disney and Florida came to an agreement decades ago and it up until a week ago was deemed beneficial by both parties. So the better question is what changed? The only thing that changed was the GOP legislatures didn't like something Disney did. The Villages and Daytona Speedway have similar arrangements with the state. Why weren't those arrangements looked at?
This may raise property taxes in the two counties by 20%. The counties inherit about $1 billion of Disney's debt. They now have to share emergency services with Disney World. I would love to hear how this decision makes life better for Floridians.

Florida will figure it out. Don’t worry.
It does matter. You just don't want to answer it because it makes your narrative fall apart. It can be removed at any time, for any reason. Disney put itself into the situation. No sympathy from me.
Florida will figure it out by raising taxes in two counties. If I lived in Orange county I would not be thrilled about inheriting $1 billion in debt and potentially having my property taxes raised.
Yeah, by raising taxes. DeSantis penalizing the electorate to stroke his own egotistical power trip.
Lmao. Great. Orange County is liberal. Let them suffer. I don’t care. Cry more.
If I were Seaworld or Universal. I’d be pissed at the special privileges that a child trafficking company gets for tax breaks for crimes against humanity
That is a red state. Your California politics don’t work there.
This is so incredibly selfish and a **** outlook on things. This is the attitude a child would have. Not to mention the conservatives in Orange County will be paying the same taxes.
I don’t care. Disney molests kids.
lmao. Wait till Ron DeSantis is in Disney’s Hall of Presidents at Magic Kingdom.
awkward
And for the record, I'm not against dissolving these special districts. I always have and always will be against giving big businesses/rich individuals big financial breaks/loopsholes that allow them to skirt putting in their fair share of tax revenue. Advantages that aren't afforded to small businesses and less affluent individuals who could benefit much more greatly from these tax breaks.
I'm just opposed to the manner in which it is being done is all. If you want to eliminate, study the impacts doing it will have and come up with a plan before voting on it. Don't do it with zero plan just because you want to punish a company for not bending the knee.

I thought Republicans were pro free speech as well? Now we have a governor taking legal action to punish a company for practicing their constitutional right to free speech.
So are you only pro free speech when it's the type of speech you like?

lmao. Try gaining some self awareness, room temp IQ guy.
Twitter, You Tube, Biden Govt, Hollywood, Big Pharma laughs at you.
you are in an anti-pedophilia thread supporting a company who supports pedophilia.
grab a mirror. You need one. You aren’t intelligent as you think you are.
Then I would assume you're equally as concerned with Matt Gaetz and his friend and their underage sex trafficking and DeSantis' close relationship with them?
And Texas contracting with and financing a child sex trafficking facility that was actually trafficking the same people they were supposed to care for
Quick! Need to change direction off of democrat pedophilia support!
damn, Democrat pedophile infestation. Like a roach infestation of democrat pedophiles here.
You support pedophiles and you’re self defensive that people are calling you out on it.
im done. You are sick.
Im guessing here, i was not in fl when their tax break, or independence, started. (I assume that is what this comment is about, sorry if incorrect on that, but i dont really want to read 19 pages to be sure.)
Regardless, i suspect they got the break because you have to understand where orlando is and what it was until disneyworld came in. It was mostly swamp land (hence the old joke about selling swamp land in florida). I bet the agreement was independence for development.
Now ... orlando is so huge and diverse, disney is no longer the only show in town (literally lol). So if disney leaves (which they wont bc the wx is awesome almost yr round), then ... meh. Im so glad my Gov had the cojones to make this move. Disney has betrayed their audience and image.
It does seem like a spiteful decision, and reactionary to Disney's recent statements. But maybe local government feels that a company like a disney shouldn't be making whats essentially political statements and alienating half the country. It's a conservative state and right now it seems leaders are concerned with conservative values. If you ask me, Disney fired the first shot by making these statements that didn't really seem neccesary. It's not like trans and gays can't go to Disney, and it's not like their programing isn't becoming more progressive. Disney is doing what it feels like is important to them. But they also wanted to make a pointed statement aimed at Florida conservatives and republican officials.
So government said, fine, you're going to take up an unnecessary fight with us? Well guess what, no more special privileges.
Not that i like spiteful decisions like this.. but you could write a damn 1,000 page book on both parties and media members making spiteful decisions. Oh well.

“More lives than there are genders” is a figure of speech you cannot formally teach 3rd graders in Florida.
Somebody must've groomed Madison to buy that black bra. lmfao
Winner
That makes sense as to why it initially was done that way. Now though, the privileges can be removed.
