Florida Senate Passes Bill to End Disney’s Special Tax Jurisdiction
Sean Moran 20 Apr 2022
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.
Fine said in a statement on Tuesday, “Disney is a guest in Florida. Today, we remind them. @GovDeSantis just expanded the Special Session so I could file HB3C which eliminates Reedy Creek Improvement District, a 50 yr-old special statute that makes Disney to exempt from laws faced by regular Floridians.”

I guess it looks good in the House? This would really torque Disney, how did they not think this could happen?

Disney is still under the impression that they made Fl and Fl can't do without them. That ship has sailed. Disney could fold tomorrow and some company would swoop in and replace it.

The torqueing will be done my shareholders who see their value being wiped out by the company malfeasance.

GET WOKE, GO BROKE!
Like so many before them, Disney has WOKE themselves straight into bankruptcy.
Will never understand why so many corporations are willing to sacrifice 99% of their customers to appease 0.8% of the population, many of whom are not even in their customer base.

You'd think that they would have figured it out by now...
But Disney opposed Apartheid in South Africa and 'celebrated' Mandella and the ANC (communists) getting power.
So they have been pushing agendas for a long time.
But on this, they had the examples of:
K-Mart not ditching Rosie after she went full rabid batsh*t on Tom Selleck over an NRA ad he'd done...
(K-Mart was the single largest retailer of guns in the US at the time).
JC Penney's after running the 'two mommies' ads...
Just to name two.
Shut up and run the store, for pete's sake, and keep the "message" crap out of it.
