Shouldn’t he run policy changes past his donor class first?

and Trump’s was paid for by Pfizer, Dow and Bank of America. Was he beholden to them?

Shall we take a look at every politician's donors? DeSantis is doing the right thing here, and people on a conservative forum are sniping at him. Lame.

Trump is from Florida. Put him on the board that babysits the Disney moral degenerates. He’d feel right at home.
To: M_Continuum
President Trump funded his own presidential campaign. Phizer, Dow, BoA we're not under threat, like Desantis threatened Disney…
Distortion seems to run deep from these that bend a knee to Desantis.

Dumb idea. Create another board?
How about just pull the status and then send them a bill for taxes not paid going back to when the status was put into place?
In WA state, in 2008, we got a call from a state auditor informing us that they had change the way software maintenance contract revenue was being recognized and that we owed $435,000 in back taxes, payable that day. The auditor was identified by their number (#324).
They were calling all of the software companies and doing the same thing. We had to lay off a bunch of people to pay the bill. Happened September 13, one day after the credit market froze, our banks turned our lines of credit into loans, and Lehman went to zero.
No more boards. Just send them a bill.

How much of normal municipal services (police, fire, roads, etc.) are now provided directly by Disney? If Disney is charged local taxes, will Disney abandon those services and insist the government in the form of that special taxing district provide them?
I'm reminded of when a Dayton mayor tried to annex the local Air Force Base. Since the Air Force provided all the normal services, it would have been a case of the city collecting a 2.5% city income tax from every employee of the base but not doing anything.

Then it shows that DeSantis is not beholden to Disney. Why ya’ll trying to make it a bad thing? Disney was one of Trump’s top 5 donors, where’s your disdain?
Distortion? You’re projecting again...

Trump may be living in Florida now....but he will always be a New Yorker...with the mind of a New Yorker...with the politics of a New Yorker.
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Is yours a general complaint, or specific to his allegiance to donors? After all it’s a real big problem for American politics.

All politicians are beholden to donors. Every last one of them. When one of them acts in the interest of his constituents despite that, it's a matter for celebration.

I hate Disney as much as anybody else, but don’t we always say corporations don’t pay taxes? Isn’t that our argument when the left wants their “windfall profit” tax? Is something different here?
