St Augustine is a favorite!
We love to visit and vacation.

We’ve always lived on the Space Coast.

I took my scouts to the springs near the Suwanee River. We swam there several hours. My scouts climbed out on a tree extending out over the river. There arose a shout.......Manatee!! Manatee!! Everybody came to look

Then the word...... Oh! it’s just Mr. bert. Nevermind

You must think DeSantis is kidding around. You don't know DeSantis.

DeSantis is a politician. Disney is still the single largest business entity in the state. He's not going to harm the golden goose, not over 'don't say gay'.

DeSantis was a Marine before he was a politician. I’m hoping that influences him more than the politician part.

Disney’s not some storefront in Florida. They have a massive footprint and it’s their main base of operations and attendance. It would be very difficult — and costly — for Disney to retaliate in any meaningful way.

DeSantis has them by the balls…

He's a politician now. All that matters is winning the next election.

“Disney is still the single largest business entity in the state.”

Largest single business entity in what way: largest land area, largest number of employees, largest company that has not paid a stock dividend in 12 months?

What exactly are you claiming that makes them too big to be held accountable?

Does he? He needs to talk to his legislature then.

"The bill would eliminate the Reedy Creek Improvement District, as the Disney government is known, as well as a handful of other similar districts by June 2023. The measure leaves room for the districts to be reestablished, with a Republican legislative leader signaling a likely restructuring of a 1967 deal that lawmakers struck with the company that allows it to provide services such as zoning, fire protection, utilities and infrastructure."

“By doing it this early, we have until next June or July to this put together, so we’re actually giving ourselves more time to be thoughtful,” Republican Senate President Wilton Simpson told reporters after the vote. “I don’t know how the end will come, but I know that this is a very worthy process that we’re taking and I think whatever comes out of it will be better than what we have today.”

What criteria would you use to decide that?

That is what I’m asking you. You have said: “Disney is still the single largest business entity in the state.”

Point blank: May we see your data?

Are you a native Floridian, like I am? I see you’re from Missouri now. Just wondering.
