Florida House passes bill to dissolve Disney’s special self-governing status

that allows the Walt Disney Co. to self-govern its Orlando-area theme park, sending the measure to Gov. Ron DeSantis for his signature.

DeSantis, a Republican, called on the Legislature to back the measure during its special session this week. House lawmakers passed the bill in a 68-38 vote after the Senate's 23-16 vote on Wednesday.The legislation would dismantle Disney’s special district on June 1, 2023. The district, which was created by a 1967 state law, allows Disney to self-govern by collecting taxes and providing emergency services.

Interesting to know who ‘liked’ this and why?

So NBC is like CBS? Retweeting this story until people get upset and visit Desante's home with pitchforks and touches.

Happy to see Disney bankruptcy

Disney and DeSantis just made a big profit…$$$…tax payers now pay instead of Disney..

Disney is relieved of its responsibility of providing municipal services in the district.

Good

I really don’t know… how is this bad for Disney?

gee, wonder what happened after 50 YEARS to 'trigger' this? 🤣

Literally 'yesterday's news' Funny. I haven't seen you guys post a story about the good Rev AL telling people 'it's time to fight again'. Then again. We don't talk about 2020

This is classic authoritarianism - punishing a private business because they said something the Republicans didn’t like politically.

❤️ DeSantis — Disney is no longer for families. It’s become political.

Go woke, go broke

Disney should be neutral. The CEO should reverse course. This is not the GOP of the old. Wind of change is real.

This is along with CRT mobs is simply radioactivity given off by Biden not holding Trump accountable for the riot on 1/6... But it's the press letting him get away with it. Let him hire Garland without anyone else interviewed basically, then imply DOJ's back to normal IMPEACH

DISNEY HAS THE POWER...IF GOV DESANTIS SIGN BILL, DISNEY NEED TO CLOSE ALL PARKS, AND CUT OFF FLORIDA TOURISM....PAY EMPLOYEES FOR UP TO A YEAR TO STAY HOME UNTIL THIS WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH THE COURTS

Me watching DisneyWorld Legal Team go to work.

No reason to stay Disney. Florida is a lost cause. Why do you think Trump moved there.

🎈🎈🎈

Wow! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Shut it down and move to Colorado!!!

Good, corporate fat cats should stay out of politics and sex education! I wouldn’t give a shit if they closed down! Disney RonDeSantisFL BoycottDisney

I support Mickey in the Happiest Place on Earth. I DON'T support Goofy in the governors mansion.

Lots of liberals/progressives upset a Corporation is being forced to pay their 'fair share' of taxes today

I would argue that this is backward, Disney should be given the right to govern the entire state of Florida.

Blame the rainbow people for this

Honestly, this is no longer about Disney. It’s about FL becoming a fascist state where the Governor basically tells the legislature what to do, and they just go along. We are no longer a functioning democracy of a state.

I thought Conservatives were against raising taxes?

Upon its complettion it was named best run city in the state. 50 years later these cunts ruin Disney they force it lay off workers as costs rise because it cant run its own operstions. I almost wish i will end up in hell just to watch yhese florida legislators burn down there.

So they’re really leaning into putting out there that you can’t trust any incentives offered by the Florida government anymore if you’re not willing to just nod and go along with what the GOP wants. I’d be reconsidering any future investments out there.

Welp everyone’s taxes in Florida is about to go through the roof. What a weak man

This is huge. Any business that has moved to a different state for the purpose of reducing their tax burden should sit up and take note. elonmusk - Texas isn’t safe.

Why would a state allow a company that hates and mocks them to continue to have special privilege's. If your anti capitalism i would think you love this, it gives them less favors and requires them to pay more now. Of course most are only anti-capitalism when it suites them.

If you are planning a conference in Florida, count me out. I want nothing to do with a state that bans books and legislates hate. WaltDisneyCo Gartner_inc salesforce Microsoft my family has 75 years of history in Florida. Florida does NOT deserve ride “It’s a small world”

How stupid
