The lawmakers will not have to handle any ensuing court case or fallout from it, but they would have to face a governor who could become hostile to them if they seek reelection or higher office.

That line item budget veto can be a powerful tool.
Disney saying they’re afraid would be a huge win for the governor. It’s exactly what he is saying he wants, companies to be afraid of saying things the state dislikes.

I thought they already did, til 2026..aka when Desantis can no longer be governor
You don't think, if Disney is afraid of retaliation from the governor, that other companies wouldn't take notice and either cancel plans to move there or even move out of the state because of it? It is now a very hostile place to do business and the rule of law is completely thrown out the window.

There was something in the news somewhat recently about Disney filing plans for the buildings going in that area, could still be on hold though. Not sure.

Have you seen what MSG has started doing? They’ve banned all of the employees of law firms engaged in litigation against them from attending their venues and are using facial recognition to enforce it. It hit the news when the stopped a woman who is not involved in any of the cases from seeing the Rockettes with her daughter and her Girl Scout troop.

Good. Full culpability. The rot isn’t just at the head, but down to the core. If this turns around it should reflect bad on the entire fetid state.

The state is likely still hoping their generally favorable tax/regulatory environment will counterbalance their unfavorable workforce/HR policy issues and public perception challenges that undoubtedly would persist for any companies looking to expand or relocate to the region.
Comparatively lower cost of living and a more warmer climate compared to other large metropolitan states will also continue to attract a large swath of migration and future customer base regardless.
Full disclosure: Not saying I agree with these arguments, just presenting a likely justification why they may feel like they had “enough goodwill to burn” to still be above water.

So how long till Disney announces they are going to fight this? Seems like an win now that they can argue.

I think publicizing what is happening could be beneficial, but not by framing not as a fear.

Legally, there is still nothing to fight.
Good point.

The bill will be approved by the governor soon. There will be plenty to fight.

Soon, but not yet. They don’t even have to announce anything.

May this person face the longest lines they have ever seen, step on lego, and have their app glitch.
They may not, but we'd all better accept the fact that nothing new is now coming to WDW in the near future, and that prices are going to skyrocket due to the extra burden the new board will place on Disney to do anything at all.

It’d be petty and framed as an attack on the government and the First Amendment, but I also wouldn’t mind these people being charged more or just banned.

If you were Iger, D'Amaro or Vahle you would just be itching to do it wouldn't you. It would be so delicious.
Much better to take the moral high ground of course, and that is exactly what they will and should do.

Literally no sane person is talking about that. This is a discussion about the Reedy Creek changes.
