I’m old enough to remember when the left was in favor of eliminating favored tax status for multi-million dollar corporations.

Corporations are considered people under the law.

Make them be treated as people, or allow people to be treated as corporations.

The creation of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, and the control it gave Disney over 27,000 acres (11,000 hectares) in Florida, was a crucial element in the company’s plans to build near Orlando in the 1960s. Company officials said they needed autonomy to plan a futuristic city along with the theme park. The city never materialized, however; instead, it morphed into the Epcot theme park.


The city never materialized,

This is a surprisingly balanced article for AP?

Disney+ and CNN+ should merge. Two pluses equals a big minus.

Don’t underestimate the damage already done to SS Disney although the leaks for now may be below the waterline

Seems reasonable to me that this now requires their CPA to issue a qualified opinion. Or to note the business risk in their management letter. If the Governor signs this, it will need to be addressed in all kinds of statements and filings.

Folks, this will require a huge response from Disney management, a major distraction to their leadership. This is not a mon-and-pop bakery getting sued here.

Insurers, contracts being hammered out, other business partners, SEC, Wall Street, all have a hook in this mess.

Sure would be a great time to be working at Disney. /snark

Maybe they should stick to the entertainment business and stay out of polarizing political and social positions. Sticking up for issues like human trafficking or child abuse is acceptable. Woke stuff is not.

All special districts were eliminated, not just Disney. Most special districts before 1969 are now subject to approval by voters (the legislature). It wasn’t just Reedy Creek, but it is the it one...

AP says Disney is a major political player in Florida. It is? What other laws have they lobbied against?
