We all knew that was coming. Regardless, he's term limited here in Florida. Changing that is not something he can get the legislature to slip through. It would require amending the state Constitution, which has a much higher threshold in the state. Either way, he's gone in 3 years, and this is a case that can drag on through the courts for a decade if they so desire.
Oh, I bet he can get the legislature to get that taken care of. Why wouldn’t they? Gotta keep Disney on blast. And I’m sure the next governor just wouldn’t have his… je ne sais plotz.
I see you're one of those "both sides are the same!" people, who completely misses the nuisances that typically only originate from one side.
Not just a comment. Disney stopped donating money.
Which apparently was their biggest sin.
'All very fine people'
Publicly… but do we really know what they’re doing behind the scenes? I’d be shocked if Disney isn’t still greasing palms with PACs and other “harder to track” ways of donating, there’s too much money involved for Disney not to be playing the game.
It is really embarrassing. None of this would be a big deal if certain politicians hadn’t taken their victory laps saying they took down “woke” Disney. Bragging about the “new sheriff in town” really aged poorly.
No, I’m calling out the only bash, derogatory comments on one side and the other side is perfect…last I heard, no political commentary on this site. Perhaps it’s time to purge this thread once again…
There is plenty of upside for him and the rest of the FL GOP to keep this up. Every word spent on this by them and the media is a word NOT spent fielding questions about the other issues affecting FL and its residents that they DON’T have good answers for. And enough of the electorate allows them to get away with it. We have to stop believing that some people can eventually be shamed or embarrassed into changing course by “losing.” What does that even mean anymore in today’s environment? You just declare victory anyway, or point to the evil entity that’s “not you” that rigged the results.
So far the state of Florida. If the district takes action against Disney it will be paid for by the district. The district will use money it collected from taxpayers within the district. Since Disney is virtually the only taxpayer in the district the end result is Disney paying both sides of any litigation.
But this particular topic concerns Disney, which is undergoing what appears to be a political spat with the state of Florida. This is a particular topic that's impossible to discuss without mentioning the political ramifications that may end up affecting guest experiences and shareholders stake in the company. Which is why this topic is being discussed here, on a Disney forum, which normally restricts political discussions if they have nothing to do with Disney. Which this is about how politics are affecting or could affect Disney, and our shared experiences and/or our economic stake in the company.
Can a district sue a developer for an agreement that it itself legally entered into with itself?
That’s fine, I have no problem with that…just everyone tone down the bashing…if it was coming from the other side, this would’ve been purged by now. That’s all I’m saying…
I understand your concern, but this particular subject is going to be impossible to avoid either side from bashing the other. Some are going to be vehemently anti-DeSantis pro-Disney, some are going to be pro-DeSantis and anti-Disney, and some are going to be somewhere in between. Both sides can hammer out their differences without the typical name calling and insults that are typical of political discourse on social media.
The anti-Disney folks here continue to baffle me. How many times does a company have to go against one’s values before you throw in the towel? I mean, I won’t judge anyone for their kinks, but this is ridiculous.
Had a Democratic governor tried this, I would be just as willing to bash them.
