In case you didn't notice... Disney employees are parents, have kids, and maybe don't have opinions on how their way of life is handled socially too.
And how about we have elected politicians legislate based on what is beneficial to constituents and not as a means of retaliation against a private sector company.
Of course they are. But how is a bill addressing classroom instruction for 5-8 year olds attacking Disney employees? Especially when the majority of parents in the state on both sides of the political spectrum support it? Including a number of Disney employees themselves? Not to beat a dead horse -- but I think it's pertinent to the topic about how we got here.
It has a big impact on employees of RCID. They may not work directly for TWDC but a firefighter or EMT who works for RCID doesn’t know right now if they will have a job a year from now. About 400 full time emplyees work for RCID and a bunch of contractors.
Sorry. I'm replying to an earlier response about the original legislation.
The sponsors of the bill to dissolve RCID agree with you. They had no issues cashing the checks when Disney donated to their campaigns (including Ronnie) but now that Disney opposed something they wanted to do they should stay out of politics.
OK. I have nothing to say on the original legislation one way or the other. I do have a big problem with using the power of political office to attack someone who opposes you politically which is what the RCID bill does.
That’s not what it is. You shouldn’t need to constantly mischaracterize something if it really is so popular.
The question still stands though. But I'll leave it at that.
I won't argue with you there. I am honestly curious to see how this plays out legally. I suspect that the legislature/governor knows this could get struck down and their motive is more about "sending a message".
Not really though because your question mischaracterizes the bill and fails to recognize the impact it will have.
Something that Republicans once held sacred. Oh, how times have changed!
We will never be able to separate most business from the government. The government relies on low-bid contract work too much. The biggest stand out are private defense companies laying in bed with politicians.
How is a company paying more not standing on its own?
RCID allowed one of the biggest businesses in the state to “stand on their own”
One example, the funding of infrastructure by RDIC bond issuance allowing for WDW to finance off the books.
