You missed it. The point isn’t ‘corporations’, but legislatively granted special privileges that its competitors do not enjoy.Suddenly corporations are bad according to republicans. Just reflecting some of the logic I see here.
The screaming and yelling had nothing to do with the Disney vote and everything to do with congressional districts. Doesn’t make their actions correct, but let’s be honest about the protest reasons.Yup, it's really going to benefit Disney to dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement District. I guess these loonies are cheering?
So was that some of the legislators hollering, or just random protestors?The screaming and yelling had nothing to do with the Disney vote and everything to do with congressional districts. Doesn’t make their actions correct, but let’s be honest about the protest reasons.
The fact they are screaming and yelling during the passing of the bill makes it seems that is why they are screaming and yelling. Maybe they should have only been screaming and yelling during the passing of the congressional redistricting bill.The screaming and yelling had nothing to do with the Disney vote and everything to do with congressional districts.

I like Gov Polis, but no, we don’t.And let the offers to Disney begin. Colorado wants them.

They were screaming and yelling during all of them because they were angry that the Republicans entered these bills, didn't allow any study or even debate on them, and then went straight to a vote. Democrats already have little power in the legislature thanks to extremely gerrymandered districts, but at least they've been able to debate and hopefully get a chance to sway public opinion. In this area, Republicans are showing, they don't really care about the process. Democrats have no power, so all they had left was to scream loudly in objection to voting on things no one could discuss or research.The fact they are screaming and yelling during the passing of the bill makes it seems that is why they are screaming and yelling.

It was legislators, but they were protesting the maps. The timing of the Disney vote happened because the Speaker called the vote on all bills despite the protests.So was that some of the legislators hollering, or just random protestors?
Debate closed on the maps for Dems (the majority and minority leaders agreed to a time limit). Some Dems wanted more time on the maps. Thus the protest. When Dems continued protesting, the Speaker called the vote on all the bills. Really, they should not only be upset with the bills, but their party leadership for agreeing to a time limited debate.They were screaming and yelling during all of them because they were angry that the Republicans entered these bills, didn't allow any study or even debate on them, and then went straight to a vote.

The Democratic Party in Florida being dysfunctional? No freaking way!Debate closed on the maps for Dems (the majority and minority leaders agreed to a time limit).

Limited debate isn’t uncommon. Though, the amount of time was inadequate. So, yeah.The Democratic Party in Florida being dysfunctional? No freaking way!

Of course it’s good since The Villages is mostly Republican.So, The Villages are good, right? They get to keep their special status?
Weird that the law picked the date it did to go after special districts like Reedy Creek. I wonder if that will come up in any potential legal action? Or, the fundraising tweet DeSantis put out today? Or, the apparent attempt to punish speech?
The special district did not mean that Disney paid less taxes or got any special breaks, they just had more control on how the money was spent. Honestly, this won’t impact Disney at all from a financial standpoint, it will just take longer for permits to get approved. Actually, it will probably lower taxes for Disney since they paid a premium to have full control over their roads and emergency response.I guess Disney will go back to paying their fair share.
Disney will pay the same taxes they have been. But, the Reedy Creek services that Disney pays for will transfer to the county along with a whole bunch of debt. Some of the lawyers have said that Orange and Osceola counties will have as much as a 25% property tax increase next June to cover the operating costs of police, fire, etc. and debt service that Disney formally paid. Also, because of how Florida law is, those counties could now be on the hook for up to 1 billion in bond debt that transfers from Disney. This is for roads, utilities, etc that were originally Disney projects.Of course it’s good since The Villages is mostly Republican.

Disney is building a new exit off I4 that goes directly to the Disney Springs area…going to be fun to see how much that will now cost the state and local county.
Shows you have no answer . Highly intelligent lib response.DRINK!!
Disagree.There are some very good public policy reasons for sunsetting these sorts of special tax districts. The one invoked here isn't one of them.
Link to that polling?Disagree.
When they decided to throw down resources from a corporate level to fight a bill that passed with 70% approval and nearly that polling approval it became a political battle.
Morning consult poll of florida voters asking specifically about the major content of the bill.Link to that polling?
That's not a link.Morning consult poll of florida voters asking specifically about the major content of the bill.
Really.That's not a link.
So you can't post anything to support your claim. Got it. The House voted along party lines you idiot.Really.
Thanks captain.
Do your own searching.
People -especially parents in fla once asked about the real content of the bill (not the don’t say gay bullshit) are in favor of the bill by a large majority.
The state house voted by a large majority for it. They are up for reelection - how do you think the ones who voted for it will do?
If Disney had just kept quite it would have saved it’s shareholders alot of $$.
Conservatives seem to have a hard time providing links to back up the shit they spew out, then fall back on the old “do your research” schtick.So you can't post anything to support your claim. Got it. The House voted along party lines you idiot.
Do you have to think to breathe?
That’s rich coming from a convicted felon like yourself.Conservatives seem to have a hard time providing links to back up the shit they spew out, then fall back on the old “do your research” schtick.
im going through the same thing with the pedo Chode right now. (I dont need to provide proof Chode is a pedo, just do your research)
If you want to know why fla is turning ruby red it because of the anti-loon factor.So you can't post anything to support your claim. Got it. The House voted along party lines you idiot.
Do you have to think to breathe?
Still have nothing but a lot of blabbering. Typical.If you want to know why fla is turning ruby red it because of the anti-loon factor.
Both the education bill and the disney bill were no brainers.
Thankfully those who voted for it and more non loons will sweep to another sweep this november. I won’t link then either. Deal with it.
Here is something I have been struggling to find. What resources did they throw down? All I have seen is a really benign quote that they don’t support it.Disagree.

If I could find one word to best describe Desantis, petty would be it.
Besides saying they were going to support groups who would work to repeal the law? that signals $$$Here is something I have been struggling to find. What resources did they throw down? All I have seen is a really benign quote that they don’t support it.
And what difference does the approval have to do with anything? Our Country’s majority has always approved of things that were awful and we change our mind on which is made possible by open discussion.
It’s all just incredibly weird. I have zero opinion on the school law, believe taking away the preferential status seems reasonable (if well planned), and yet find what the GOP did really frightening.
If I were Disney I would be acting like an abused spouse… show up with bruises, be afraid to talk about them, share support for the decision… (I really don’t mean to make light of domestic abuse but I really like the idea and couldn’t come up with a better metaphor)
Good grief.Here I thought corporate well fare was bad.
That’s because you’re a dinosaur. No offense.To be honest, I always thought "Disney Gay Days" (yes, that's really a thing) was completely incongruous with Disney's "family friendly" brand.
If it wasn't for the gays. Most of Disney's musical catalog wouldn't exist.To be honest, I always thought "Disney Gay Days" (yes, that's really a thing) was completely incongruous with Disney's "family friendly" brand.

So why not end it at any point in the last 55 years?No, that’s the mixed economy we enjoy today. e.g. politicians craft tax breaks for union companies that non union ones don’t get.
That sort of political favoritism and thumb on the scale is not the market operating freely.
