DeSantis threatens Disney’s special status in Florida

Ron DeSantis on Tuesday said that the state’s legislature will consider terminating the special status of a municipal district operated by Walt Disney Co., the Wall Street Journal reports.

It’s an escalation in the weeks-long feud between the Republican governor and Disney.

“We are expanding the call of what the state legislature will be considering this week,” DeSantis said, per Bloomberg. “They also will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968, and that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District.”

Disney’s board should be sued for a a trillion dollars, and all top management should be toast.

The City of Tomorrow was not just supposed to be a typical ride/park attraction.

Go to San Francisco and you can see the city of tomorrow today!

There shouldn't be any tax advantage for anyone, person or corporation.

And certainly, one should be able to 'thrash' elected persons all the time without harm.

Having political payback via government action isn't something that should be favored. Think of speaking out against Obama, Biden etc and then suffering via government action.

When I grew up in Florida, we used to be able to go swimming or water skiing in lakes without fear of alligators. Moccasins, yes, alligators, no. Ok, there were a handful of lakes that had alligators, but you didn’t go skiing in those lakes. You could even go rafting or tubing down the rivers. Can’t do that anymore.

Would love to be a mouse in the corner of the executive suite today...this will END Disney! Imagine just having county law enforcement take over, how many complaints would no longer just disappear..

They made their bed....so now sleep on it

I learned to ski in Winter Haven in the early 70’s. You DID NOT fall off the skis as the lake was full of alligators

Oh my...DeSantis does NOT mess around. If Disney wants to insert themselves into politics then let them pay taxes like the rest of us...

Exactly!!!
