Property taxes are usually made up of several elements so its not uncommon for the total rate to differ for different payers. And general property taxes usually fund the general fund and are not segmented to only fund certain projects. It’s the main revenue source for counties.
It’s not off topic. A lot on here and elsewhere are saying that the next move is (or ought to be) a winding down of park operations in FL. As some have pointed out, how is that any different from the course they’ve been on the last two years? What new, exciting, grand projects are in the queue, ready to break ground? Nada. Point being, if they cut operations, or dialed back on future E-tickets…how’s that any different from the status quo that existed prior to the “Don’t Say Gay”/RCID brouhaha?
one could almost infer this is a tactic to get political contributions flowing again while scoring some culture wars points
“Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
every person has every right to not only threaten to get a law repealed but to actively work towards that end.
Why not give specifics? Which taxes does Disney not pay? Why are those who applaud this so unwilling to talk specifics?
Disney said they were halting all political donations before one party launched an attack against the company. I wouldn’t expect that to continue. Disney may or may not be able to influence future elections through political contributions but none of the people who sponsored this bill turned down their donations in the past. They used them to get elected.
So would wdw have been if it was bought after RCRA/superfund
Wouldn‘t a free market capitalist want to see the people vote with their wallets and stop buying products from Disney vs having the government step in? Isn’t Laissez-faire a core economic philosophy of free-market capitalism that opposes government intervention? Somewhere Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Then again if he was still alive he’d be labeled a RINO and probably would be sanctioned by the RNC. Strange world we live in today.
Very good point,
You’re entitled to your opinion, of course. But for historical purposes, here’s the trajectory of state control since 1992. Note who’s controlled the state for the last 20+ years. if anything, the most enduring impact will likely be that opposing Disney will become the equivalent to being pro-gun and pro-life in a contested primary. Nice going Chapek!
Something that’s universally popular?
That’s just kinda indicates where the pendulum will go from here. Politics 101.
Don’t feed the low comprehension troll
Maybe so, but Disney has the law on their side on this one if they can show it was done as retaliation. Also, they aren’t equivalent. One is a private entity who says they are going to support groups trying to fight and overturn a law, which is a protected act. The other is the actual government who is expressly forbidden from doing exactly what they just did.
Yes, you are helping me make my point. "Every Person" including the FL elected officials, and they did it.
Again, my point is a large number of those Rs got political contributions from the mouse. You can’t just ignore that. If it’s no big deal than why are they so upset about it? Why the need to retaliate?
They have every right as people to vocally oppose Disney for not backing the bill. Using the power you were given by the people to attempt to silence a dissenter is not right. Free speech protects people from government suppression. It doesn’t protect the government from criticism.
