Disney will win. Thus is all legacy policy regarding Reedy Creek because the state Florida made these deals to attract the huge investment from Disney creating a massive amount of jobs. This company is the largest private employer in the state. They are doing a good job running Reedy Creek. Residents in the area are overall happy.
WHATS THE PROBLEM
If it ain't broke, why fix it.
I don't think the other 49 Governors would do what DeSantis is doing. Trying to punish a company simply for political points. It shows how small minded DeSantis is. Many fiscally conservative Republicans on the right that are pro business are against this type of policy. DeSantis is really becoming an alarming rightwing extremist


As usual you only read the MSM headlines and don't do the research to find out what is really going on. Disney had the old Reedy Creek Board, that were their appointees, pass some poison pill laws just before they left that the new board can't change for decades. Totally stripped power from the new legal board. The courts will decide.

I wonder when the mainstream righties are finally going to come to the obvious conclusion that Big Tits is toast?



Interesting, he sees Paul Ryan as a credible threat if Ryan were to throw his hat in.

Let's cut to the chase
I know exactly what's going on. Desantis is trying to punish a company simply due to politics.
It's anti business

Actually if you go back to the building of Disney World the state gave them tremendous powers that are usually restricted to governments. It is time for them to have those powers restricted or alternately give those same government powers to all companies to be fair.

Why now? Because Disney upset right wingers by supporting diversity?

Exactly
It's time because DeSantis is livid about a company that is OK with gays and diversity.
What happened to common sense conservatives that supported businesses.

Whatever happened to unicorns? I mean, as long as we are wondering about creatures that never actually existed.

Kinda way past time for Florida to stop allowing Disney and the Seminoles to more or less run the state. They are not exactly benevolent entities with regard to anyone else trying to do any significant business in the state.

Disney doesn't run the state
A ton to do in Orlando
Disney has tons of competition such as Universal's theme park which I actually prefer.
The Seminole Indians do run the state when it comes to gambling
No competition
I'm staying near the 6th largest casino on the planet, Seminole Tampa Hard Rock. It's massive due to no competition. Vegas casinos gaming areas are tiny in comparison.
No competition due to Tallahassee politicians raking in the Seminole political donations. Desantis and his minions have been bought by the Seminoles

You are impossible TP. Pissed off at Desantis because he changes Disney's rules and at the same time pissed off at him for not tightening up on the Seminoles. Just face it in your limited world Desantis can do no right.
