Florida’s Republican-led Senate passed a bill on Wednesday that eliminates a special taxing district that allows Walt Disney Co. to govern the land where its theme park is located.

“The measure potentially delivers a blow to the company’s operations in the state,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The special district, created in 1967 and known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District, exempts Disney from a host of regulations and certain taxes and fees related to emergency services and road maintenance.”

The report noted that the special taxing district reportedly saves Disney tens of millions of dollars per year.

The bill now heads to Florida’s Republican-led House where it is expected to pass. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) has already signaled that he will sign the bill into law.

I look forward to the left melting down about Disney having to pay their fair share.

Someone explain this to me like I am Sheila Jackson Lee. Did Desantis do this because Disney is getting too woke and likes pedophiles?

That’s great!!

Hopefully the state of Florida will keep going after them - especially in regards to the vaccine as well.

Disney threatened Florida over the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

The state is reminding Disney that they are guests and are saving millions of dollars because of special accommodations made for them.

all they had to do was keep throwing the alphabet people bone by putting in an occasional gay person in a show and then removing it for China releases. but they just had to shite where they eat.

They opened their fricking yap about the Anti-Groomer bill aka "Don't say Gay" nonsense and took a very active position on it.

Desantis said "ok, you want to get political..."

I bet the Disney shareholders love the fact that their CEO virtue signaled their company into millions more in new costs

This is one of those things that sounds like a huge win now, and could have devastating effects for the actual residents of Florida down the road

When Florida passed these laws in the 60s people were furious, and then Disney literally changed the entire future of central Florida and made it what it is today

Desantis should come out and say that the revenue generated from this will be aimed at improving low-income minority schools. Heads would explode.

the bill does not have the word "gay" in it once. It's made up by the libtards to attack it.
