“they should not have special tax status”

That goes way back to orlando giving disney all this compensation just to get them to come there.

Land, Tax breaks and on and on.

There was competition from other cities at the time that also wanted disney in their city.

Absolutely, though at that time there was no guarantee of success.

I am old enough to remember the jokes about buying swampland in Florida.

But that was then and this is now.

Disney’s Florida property is miles outside the Orlando City limits and was even farther away in 1967
