DeSantis said last week on Laura’s show that they knew from the beginning that additional legislation would be required.

Disney is making bond payments now for traditional county infrastructure built to support the park. The legislature can just direct those payments continue under the same terms. Might have to redefine some legal terms, but the court will find that continuing the payments best serves the bondholders and nothing would be gained by making the state sell new bonds to pay off the old ones.

Only libs can’t understand basic math.

tax payers = leftist plants for leftist attorneys, encouraged/funded by leftist organisations.

This will be revealed in time.

Sounds like we are going to need to build hundreds of new Court Houses, EVERYONE is going to court and opening a judgement demanding money from people they don’t like I would saw the profession of lawyer shows quite a bit of promise.

No member of the twitterpated I, or user of emojis.

However, I can see where an 'ok groomer' emoji would be
most useful to represent demented democrats..

Yes, seems like the media leapt to the presumption that Disney gets to walk away without paying the taxes, although DeSantis and the legislature believe they will still have to pay them.

4 Unhinged Leftists consumed with Liberal Lunacy consumed with anger and imagined power to dictate their will on the people of a state. This will not go well for them They are likely to be awakened to the fact that their personal political desires are not primary at a state level.

Bet they all have kin and other Disney connections. Florida taxpayers want to tax the hide of Disney. They need simmer down before it gets ugly.

Florida can tax Disney and it’s huge property holdings any way they want to.

Disney has no idea what is coming down the pike. Florida residents are outraged at the games the groomers are playing.....

Dismissing special privileges which nobody else has access to is unconstitutional?

On what planet? And how do they think Illinoisans feel? We’re saddled with far more than that thanks to unfunded pension liabilities, which are apparently still growing.

Can’t pay the bond debt? I’m sure there is legal recourse to start seizing assets to sell to settle the debt.
