Well that, and maybe it’ll serve as a lesson to all your perv leftist allies to stay in their lanes and stay out of schools. But I see that lesson has already been lost.

Now they have to add tax to everything the sell. That’s the tax burden. Big deal.

So are you admitting the Florida republicans are using their office for political retribution against a corporation? Seems like something true conservatives would adamantly oppose.

Kingsolver, 49, is one of at least 35 Disney employees arrested since 2006 and accused of sex crimes involving children, trying to meet a minor for sex, or for possession of child pornography, according to a six-month CNN investigation that examined police and court records, and interviewed law enforcement officials and some of the men who have been arrested.


This was back in 2014. Just recently 4 employees were arrested on sex trafficking.


This is just a stupid statistic. Disney has 200K employees and probably has had close to a million since 2006. You would have to go to the 5th decimal point to register a number not 0. The far left and far right political tribes in this country are a cancer.

Wouldn’t like a .75% sales tax on everything sold at Disney and some property tax on Disney land take care of that?




You know, some people don't even know that Disney buys bulk electricity and that they only pay a fraction of what other businesses pay.

In fact, I think the deal with Tampa is that they simply pay the cost. No profit is made by the utility company.

Do you know how much TAX revenue that costs those areas?

On a $5000 dollar electric bill (and that's a drop compared to what Disney uses) the tax is over $800 PER Duke Energy.


And that is done with EVERY utility Disney has.


It's a MASSIVE amount of taxes.


Now.. What about the other people? Do you think that area is somewhat helping to pay for that loss of PROFIT by the Utility company and in taxes?

When Disney looses the copyright, Blue Bayou can use the name. It will be everywhere.

Being able to bypass all of that and control it yourself when you are as large as Disney is a massive advantage


It’s done so the developer isn’t paying for the development (at least not as much). Even private communities (gated) can use bonds to pay for things like ponds and drainage if the storm water system is interconnected and benefits the public. Many developers push the envelope on this including things such as the road embankment in the overall cost. Typically asphalt can’t be included if it’s a gated community.

I don’t like it, but I’m tired of playing by a different set of rules. Republicans have tried being the business friendly option and constantly get shite on. So, I’m willing to try being vindictive like democrats for once.

I just want to point out the OP said a few years ago that he feared for his relatives because they lived in the same city, San Francisco, as Rueben Foster.

He's a liberal bitch.

. Here is the actual tax collector telling you how it works

quote:
Dissolving the Reedy Creek Improvement District would be a financial burden on the county, according to Orange County Tax Collector Scott Randolph.
He added that there would be zero fiscal gain for the county.
“If that district goes away, it is zero revenue, but they take on all the debt and all the obligation,” Randolph said.

Randolph said that financial obligation is about $105 million a year to operate services in Reedy Creek. For example, the district runs its own fire department, sewer services and handles all the road maintenance.
Additionally, Randolph said the county would also be taking on, potentially, $1 billion to $2 billion in bond debt.
If the county is absorbing additional costs from Reedy Creek, Randolph said the money is going to have to come from somewhere.
“If Reedy Creek is dissolved, my guess would be Orange County would have to raise property taxes 15 to 20%; now that’s not your whole tax bill, right, because your tax bill involves school and other things, but your Orange County government portion of your tax bill will probably have to go up 15 to 20% to take on that cost,” he said.



He's wrong. Disney can be taxed and I'm willing to bet that the State Gov will make it so.

Their bond payment is their property tax lol. It just that now it will be called a property tax instead of a bond payment.

Are you shitting us? I know you are a fricking moron but this is worse than usual.

DISNEY PROMISED RETRIBUTION AND APPEAL FOR FLORIDA PASSING A LAW THROUGH DUE PROCESS AT THE WILL OF THE CITIZENS. Then proceedes to lie and lie about the true text of the bill in concert with national media.

But it's the republicans playing politics?

frick off frick off.

November can't come quick enough. You frickers are out of control.

The problem is Disney’s new taxes won’t come close to the existing bond payments. The county gets the new taxes from Disney, but they don’t absurd Disney’s revenue streams. That difference in amounts will be made up by the tax payer.

However, I don’t see that happening because I see Disney and the govt working out another special exemption deal shortly before June 2023, albeit not with a big press conference

Disney already pays property taxes to the two counties. Disney pays a separate tax (I think it's a tax but it may just be nontax payment / contribution) to Reedy Creek that could go to the county but that revenue is not enough to cover Reedy Creek expenses, so it operates at a loss annually. Presumably running a $10 million deficit every year won't work for the counties like it works for Disney.

The bill also applies to the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, the Daytona Beach Racing and Recreational Facilities District, the Canaveral Port District, the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority, Tampa Port Authority, the Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority, the Tampa Sports Authority, and more.

Just like every large business in a utilities footprint.

I am sure you have some kind of proof because that is fantasyland material.

That's just the ones that have been caught. It's pretty obvious that Disney execs and employees, at a minimum, support sexual grooming of kids.

It's obvious by their reaction to a bill protecting kids from grooming. I mean it is.
