Watch — Ron DeSantis: Florida Lawmakers will Consider Terminating Special Districts, Including Disney’s Special Tax and Governing Jurisdiction

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announced on Tuesday that the state legislature will consider a proposal to eliminate Disney’s special tax and governing jurisdiction in DeSantis’s fight against the megacorporation’s woke politics.

“I am announcing today that we are expanding the call of what they are going to be considering this week, and so yes, they will be considering … termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968, and that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District,” DeSantis declared.

The Reedy Creek Improvement District is Disney’s special governing and special taxing district for the Walt Disney World Resort. The Florida legislature authorized this in 1967 to boost economic development and tourism within the district’s boundaries. This includes 25,000 acres.

Eliminating this special district would serve as a significant economic blow to the Disney corporation.

Hmmm. Seems "blow" is pretty much in the dizzknee vernacular these days anyway. The Reedy creek deal was how FL got dizzknee-whirled to settle on the site. The original deal should have had a sunset clause in it.

Boom. Big corporate cronies want to muck around in woke politics - let them also suffer the consequences.

DeSantis doesn’t screw around. I like this guy so far, he’s saying and more importantly doing all the right things.

Maybe Florida should revoke its business license.

Acting in a manner supporting adult sexual topics being
presented to young children and grooming them for pedophilia
should warrant that.

Just kick them out!

Someone else can buy the plant and be back in business in
short order.

the special deals were given (10% to the first pedo?)
because of child rape and trafficking.

how about they lose NUNC PRO TUNC,
and have to pay ALL their back taxes waived for corruption??

I will vote for DeSantis before Trump next general election. Trump has too much baggage that the MSM will hit on 24/7. I’m sure they are already looking for some ancient scandal on DeSantis. Still, he’s my favorite at the moment.

I wanna see them get taken down for this.

What a betrayal of the trust we all had for the organization.

Right. Private organizations shouldn't have any free speech rights.

Oh, wait...

Reedy creek was much more nefarious than first thought. orlando was a sleepy little town supported by a Naval training Center. There were strip clubs and quite a few bars. Typical off base stuff. but the taxes and debauchery were nothing like the tourism brought in by disney.

Orlando got in bed with the rat and is now paying for it with over priced housing, traffic up the wah-zoo, and more lgbtxyz and pedos than sodom had.

my point

be careful what you wish for, never meet your heros and If someone offers you a hundred bucks for 'doing nothing' , you can be sure you will be paying them back at least $200

and someone somewhere is saying "who the hell didnt pay off or get enough dirt on desantis"? "I want someones BLOODY head on my desk by monday!"

If Trump runs I don’t think DeSantis would, or if he did he would be running for VP. A Trump/DeSantis ticket would be perfect. I can hear liberal heads exploding already. Libs that survived until 2028, are going to completely melt down with the DeSantis/Trump Jr. ticket.

No doubt the msm will go after no DeSantis just as hard. He’s NOT in the “club” therefore must not be allowed in the offal office. They won’t let that happen again as they did with Trump. The lame stream has soured too many against Trump(and most of them have no idea why they dislike him other than the lame stream said so) for him to be viable in ‘24.
