  • You live in Florida? I do. Things are getting worse here, and they were already bad before I got here. You had basically a center right political system (*chef’s kiss*), crime was an issue but it

Florida Senate passes bill to strip Disney's special self-governing status

So, now the state is going to have to start maintaining those 25,000 acres, provide emergency services, etc.

Sounds expensive.

:roll:  Republicans are so stupid

 

It gets better.

It's actually worse. The Disney special district has ~$1bn in bond debt. If the status is revoked, that debt may have to be assumed by the 2 counties. But they are run by Democrats, so I guess who cares.

Farmer said the current bill as written could leave Orange and Osceola counties to assume the nearly $1 billion bond debt the Reedy Creek Improvement District carries, as required by Florida law.

"So this is not supposition, this is not conjecture, this is Florida law that says those 1.7 million people are going to have to pick up this bill,” Farmer said.

According to the RCID’s annual financial report for 2021, the district carries a long-term bonded debt of $977,215,801.

EDIT: See you picked up on it as well. Looks like the debt is closer to $1bn though.

A billion dollars is a small price to pay for Governor TryHard's virtue signaling.

You mean, OUR NEXT PRESIDENT?

And, here's the law on it

(2) Unless otherwise provided by law or ordinance, the dissolution of a special district government shall transfer the title to all property owned by the preexisting special district government to the local general-purpose government, which shall also assume all indebtedness of the preexisting special district.

Not only is this move blatantly authoritarian, it’s politically dumb. 
 

You’re pissing off the state’s largest employer, and an organization that has incredibly deep pockets.

Maybe their leverage was that they assumed FL Republicans weren't stupid and self-destructive enough to dump a billion dollars onto their taxpayers for no reason.  Apparently they were wrong :lol:

Funny how the people so vocal about cancel culture, always support exactly that, when it rears its ugly head.

At this point you are either with the groomers or you are against them.

Sex change surgeries and puberty blockers for young children. These people are disgusting monsters.

Ron DeSantis’s Misguided Attack on Disney’s Legal Status

https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/04/ron-desantiss-misguided-attack-on-disneys-legal-status/

Quote

The Walt Disney Company, for example, enjoys a brazen carve-out in Florida’s tech-regulation bill: an exemption for Disney+ that was not granted to Netflix, Hulu, or HBO Max. By contrast, the rules that apply to Walt Disney World could be better described as "tailored,” for, despite the insinuations of many Florida Republicans, Walt Disney World’s accommodation is unique not in its type but only in its particulars. As it happens, Florida has 1,844 special districts, of which 1,288 are, like Walt Disney World, "independent.” The Villages — where Governor DeSantis made his announcement about the review of Walt Disney World’s status — is "independent,” as are Orlando International Airport and the Daytona International Speedway. Clearly, Walt Disney World is a weird place: It is the size of San Francisco, it straddles two counties (Orange and Osceola), and, by necessity, it relies on an infrastructure cache that has been custom-built to its peculiar needs. To claim that the laws that enable this oddity to work represent a "special break” is akin to claiming that the laws that facilitate special installations such as Cape Canaveral or the World Trade Center are "special breaks”: true, in the narrowest sense, but false when examined more closely.
