The Florida Senate passed on Wednesday legislation to end Disney’s special tax and governing jurisdiction.
The Senate passed S. 4-C, which is the legislation that would dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District, otherwise known as the special tax and governing jurisdiction for the Walt Disney World Resort.
The legislation passed with 23 votes in favor of the bill, and 16 against the bill.
The Florida legislature authorized the special district in 1967 to boost economic development and tourism; however, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Florida Republicans proposed the legislation to eliminate the special district after Disney has continued to oppose DeSantis’s Parental Rights in Education Bill and also pushed to incorporate “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in its stories.”
DeSantis said state lawmakers would consider the proposal this week to strip Disney’s special district. Florida state Rep. Randy Fine (R) followed quickly in suit to propose the legislation to eliminate this corporate welfare for Disney.
The Florida state House will likely take up the legislation on Thursday; the Florida House State Affairs Committee passed it favorably out of the committee on Tuesday.

It is delightful to watch Florida give Disney every bit of what they deserve.
Pedophiles and groomers hardest hit.
Shut that grooming center down!
Whats the price Disney needs to pay to call off the dogs?
“Whats the price Disney needs to pay to call off the dogs?”
Clean house. New CEO, and whack that evil monster woman who was bragging about gaying up Disney content.
These articles are written so people assume that ONLY Disney is being targeted. That’s not true.
“Under the proposal, which passed 23-16 on Wednesday, independent SPECIAL DISTRICTS THAT WERE CREATED PRIOR TO 1968 and haven’t been renewed since then will be eliminated. It includes a provision allowing for re-establishment after they’re dissolved.”
Can he deal with the DC GOP swamp scum when he gets to Washington?

Honest answer? No. But he’ll give it a heck of an effort.
Gosh, I wonder if it crosses DeSantis’ desk if he will sign, or veto...
Just kidding. 🤣😎
That’s great to get that out for the constituents to see.
Disney should worry about keeping alligators out of their waters, so children don’t get killed.
Disney has 40 square miles of untaxed turf.....a small part of that is the Magic Kingdom.
They are devoping huge residential areas under it’s special relationship. The surrounding counties can use the tax dollars.
Don’t buy the garbage that the taxpayers are gonna get hurt.
More BS...
The local media here in North Fla are adding the caveat that it passed on a party line.
Oh well...
Working young families in a post CoVid World with high inflation won’t be going to Disney even on a free vacation. Disney has been a No Go Zone for years. You need a private bodyguard to go to Disney.
“devoping huge residential areas under it’s special relationship. The surrounding counties”
Celebration is one of those

Disney has filled their tray at the liberal agenda cafeteria and now needs an all American diet.life without Hollyweird and Disney is a good start.

***********
Prolly not. Whole different ballgame up there, and the GOP in DC works closely with the Democrat Party to protect the interests of the Swamp. As Trump quickly discovered.
Does anyone know what this tax break is worth to the “groomer”?
