I didn’t assume. I was born, grew up, and live in east TN, own a theatre here. My family lives in Dandridge, just our Sevierville. Dolly’s family’s property is near my family home. My family and fiends work or have worked at Dollywood. Dolly is generally apolitical. This is a well grounded fact.

Because the ~100M in tax rcid was collecting was a rcid one - is not a county tax. It’s a tax that would simply go away if rcid did. The county would need new taxes to replace it.
It's going to get the assets.
Franklin County is a small county on the NW Florida Gulf Coast. Eastpoint is basically a fishing village with a few oyster shacks and an IGA. This will impact that community which is already struggling due to the dying oyster harvest.
There's some damn fine shrimp and grouper that come out of those waters..

Spin his "evolution" after the fact however you would like if it makes you sleep better at night, but for those of us who lived through the 2008 election, he was against gay marriage.
But hey, we're making things up in this thread like the bill says "don't say gay" so making things up is fun!
Hey, have you heard the one about the Russian dossier on Trump?
Oh, oh, that laptop of Hunter's?! TOTALLY fake!
See, it's fun to play make believe!!!

Ok, so I'm just going to answer each point of your shotgun in one sentence.
First two are irrelevant after he became the first President to support gay marriage.
When quite literally the author has said it is, the nickname is valid.
I own and have read the Mueller report which confirms a lot that is in the Steele Dossier.
Republicans supported vast changes to the prosecutor generals office of Ukraine, as did the UN, so the main point of the "laptop" existing is laughably invalid. But sure, the emails from Hunter's hacked iCloud are there.
Have a good night.

So you admit what I said is a fact - he ran for president being against gay marriage.
Thank you for validating my point.
And the Russian hoax was paid for by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC and Hunter's laptop is real. And Hunter was paid millions both for his incredible insight into Ukrainian politics and the energy industry. He's a genius!
Oh, and I have a copy of the bill right here, if you could direct me to the page and line number where it reads "don't say gay", that would be great.
Facts are fun!

I like how you pretty much ignore everything I said and then went "lol, see, I'm right!
".Irrelevant.
Not an argument.
Crossfire Hurricane is not based on the Steele Dossier, neither is the Mueller report (which has been validated by the Republican led Senate committee). You are also wrong as to the origins of the Dossier's funding.
Hunter's laptop is real, even though you have no evidence (aside from hacked emails that were put into a PDF nearly a year later).
Hunter was hired because of nepotism and his financial background.
Expected nothing else, I live and breathe this stuff (hazardous to my mental state, obviously) but we really should be getting back on topic.
Do not get in bed companies with officials is wishful thinking . It will never happen. The you help me I help you will always happen.

Ah.. the politics of spite. Perhaps we could just settle things with a Chapek v DeSantis cage fight (although there would probably be a bitter battle about who got to enjoy top-billing).
Decisions made in such circumstances, to push one point of view or another, rushed through and ill conceived, rarely conclude well or are to the benefit of the wider community.
Ask yourself this, if they were not embroiled in a spat, would the question of RCID even be on the agenda?
Politicians and business leaders alike need to understand that the majority of people, at heart, sit broadly in the center, and that this relentless polarisation is toxic.
A mentality of "You're either with us or against us" on almost every issue is a slight on the electorate. It is an impediment to democracy and represents a great disservice to the public regardless of their affiliations.

You dont even realize you proved my point.

If RCID is disbanded, what will be the practical consequences to WDW and the company? They weren't going to build a nuclear power plant anyway.
I guess it could hurt future financing of things like garages at Disney springs but is that really a big deal?
Opponents of this keep bringing up how it would hurt Orange and Osceola counties and increase property taxes in those counties. There has to be something that would hurt Disney. Politicians are a lot of things but they aren't stupid. They wouldn't do something just to make a statement that will be a negative for residents of those counties but not harm the target of the legislation.

You must not have been paying attention for the last 20 years. Political discourse has been poisoned by the rise of hyper partisans that now believe their primary duty is to a political party and their primary goal is to beat the other side. I don’t see how that thought can’t be described as stupid and self destructive. Last I checked all public officials take an oath to serve the people they represent, not just the people who voted for them.
First you said that I “assumed,” then you apparently know what I think and why I think. My original context was Dolly is a good model for Disney because she mostly avoids political opinions in her brand. Meanwhile Disney is a constantly pushing woke culture and shoving left wing activism down people’s throats. She’s not a villain because she doesn’t put herself on a platform to be one. Plus she often shows charitable acts of good will. With all due respect, even though you are an apparent mint reader, as a life long resident of Dolly’s home town, I really don’t need your schooling on Dolly Parton.
