What are you even talking about? What favor was done? Was Disney paying for their own services the favor? Developing a model building code that the state endorsed for several decades the favor? The double taxation?

Well you see, when political donations are given, they are given to have a certain elected official win, they don't just evenly donate their political donations. So there would be interest of reasons. Disney has had plenty of breaks like any major company.

I am not saying it needs to be the same for people as the government seeming more vindictive or openly saying something was in direct response to an opposition.

That’s still more vague gibberish. Can the innuendo and just say it.

Calm down.
I have no innuendo. I pretty plainly asked if people think corporations should have large donations to political parties or politicians that only those at the top decide on, which happens with big companies including Disney. You are looking for something not there and are unkind.
So nevermind. Not everything need be so volatile.

I wish Disney would stop all political donations. I know I'm being idealistic, but the whole thing leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.

Thank you for understanding what I was asking. I feel the same way. Them announcing they were ceasing all political donations made me realize, I don't want them doing that in the first place as the company including 150,000 people is never a monolith.

I thought freedom wasn’t free, but it is… for the taking.

I’m hoping this is the speak softly part and there is a big stick just out of sight. Otherwise, all hail King Ron.

Poster didn't say anything about income taxes. Doesn't FL have property taxes, sales tax, junk taxes, fees etc?

Property tax doesn’t go to the state or the people responsible for doing this it’s local. Sales tax goes to the state but there’s no need to move there to pay it. I’ve paid plenty of sales tax to FL without ever living there.

The bolded part is also easier to fight in court. If the new board steps out of line there is nothing to stop Disney from suing. Disney recently sue Orange County on tax assessments for the resorts and parks. If the board spends money frivolously or refuses to approve something that can be handled one off in court and would be easier and cheaper to win.

They sue Orange County every year over taxes, and every year they win.

So my apologies for being late to the party, but what does all this mean for Disney? Does this make it harder for them to add to the theme parks or property or is it just a inconvenience in name only? And fee free to respond like I am five and have no clue what any of these big terms mean :)

Everyone arguing about intent. Lol

DeSantis doesn’t give a rip about this.

This is all about trying to pry away the 30-35% gop voters that are lock step with another candidate, no matter what.

DeSantis knows without that, he has no chance of getting the gop nom.

This is showboating.

Can’t wait till the lawsuits start, or until DeSantis is asked in a debate why he’s going after Disney when the villages get the same deal and he doesn’t care.

Because that is exactly what Disney would have to do.

I haven't followed from the beginning, but what kind of lawsuit are you envisioning here?

Depending on the type of lawsuit, if one is even filed, intent may or may not be an element Disney has to prove. Intent is an issue for the fact finder and is almost always determined based on conflicting evidence.

I don’t know what lawsuit you’re thinking of where the proof has to be 100%.

You’re right. Disney will probably just roll over and not care. Lol

Disney does not sue the property appraiser every year.

You caught me. Disney has only sued Orange County 4 out of the last 6 years since 2016. The Orange County Tax Appraiser's Office doesn't do an assessment every year. Disney only sues when they do one. I sure can't sneak one by one you. Great job fact checking!!! :hilarious:
