A day after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would use the state Legislature to revoke a development agreement Disney signed with the Reedy Creek Improvement District board, a state legislator has filed an amendment to nullify that agreement.

I could care less. I don't support Woke companies to begin with.
Its proving the point no one is above the system not even Disney.
Desantass breaks the law that a Governor in Florida has to step down if they run for President! Xi and Putin change the laws to suit them , too ! Desantass is a Fascist Dictator!
he is just sooo stupid
This is typical of any other MAGA political stunt, egregious as they may be it wins widespread MAGA support but doesn't stand up in court.No judge is going to see this as anything else but an attack on Disney's free speech and a personal attack because Desantis didn't like what Disney had to say.Desantis is throwing a tantrum and his level of immaturity disqualifies him from the pressures encountered as an American president.
Old pudding fingers is upset because Mickey Mouse has a more manly voice than he does
Hahaha! Keep it up, meatball! There isnt a single state, or country, that wouldn't bend over backward to have Disney build a theme park in their area. The entire reason that Florida has no income tax is due to the amount of money Disney and it's visitors brings to Florida. Charlie Crist tried to warn you guys!
Fellow Floridians, blame meatball Rhonda for the job losses, layoffs, and a huge reduction in tourism. Thanks, Meatball Ronda!
Disney should develope in georgia
Fact that White Supremacy support DeSantis tells it all.
DeSantis banned abortion, Black history, immigration assistants, any gun regulations, LGBTQ rights,…
Under the contract Disney was supposed to build a city in Disney world and they never did so they did break the contract
MAGA has two prospects for a 2024 presidential run,and neither candidate has maturity level of a grown man.
DeSantis would make a very scornful spouse.
Does FL have room for me?
Thank God Desantis is still fighting for what's right
Hmm. A state involved in private business. Sounds like the literal definition of fascism.
Disney it's like bud light today. screw you
Agreed…. HOWEVER…
Disney (a corporation) should never have been allowed to self govern. Do they allow We Rhe The People to self govern?
Disney was built on bad land and Disney transformed the land into a beautiful park. Gov. DeSantis wants to overturn the development agreement. Americans vote for our representatives and also Americans can impeach our representatives. Now he is a treat to Disney with a prison building. That is a very dishonest proposition. Florida needs a better representative that is not a treat to a park built for entertainment. Disney has the rights to a development agreement with the state of Florida and not with our state representatives. Our representatives should represent a state with better views. Disney maintains the park and provides jobs for the people in Florida, brings visitors to the park and offers security. The people of Florida should protect Disney and the agreement that the state gave to Disney prior to building the park. Floridian's fight for your state. Change the governor. I don't want him for president. He is destroying an entertainment park for kids. Stop the abuse of your government representatives. Florida needs a better governor that cares about the state.
I am a Florida resident and think what the governor and his puppets in the legislature are doing us wrong in so many ways. First, how is going after Disney benefiting any Florida families and children? It is not! All the Governor had to do when they spoke out on legislation is tell them he didn’t care what they thought, pass the legislation and declare himself the winner of the battle. Instead, at tax payer expense, he started a feud with our largest employer, revenue generator and taxpayer. Worse, his press conference yesterday was disgusting. Amused by his stupid ideas for revenge he suggested housing convicted Florida criminals, which would include pedophiles next to the single
most visited (by families and children) destination in the world. This was vile and disgusting. It is time to act for the benefit of Floridians..the actions against Disney are NOT supported by the majority of Florida residents. The inspection of rides is such a waste. State inspectors don’t have the skills to inspect the technologically advanced…at what cost. Huge cost to Floridians. Setting aside contracts…anti-business and unconstitutional.
Freedom of speech does not mount to freedom of consequences. These companies have fucked over many Americans for years to not hiring people because they’ve spoken out on something they don’t agree with but when a company gets hit with something now all the sudden freedom of consequences doesn’t apply? You have a right to freedom of speech but freedom of consequences does also apply you’re not going to be arrested by the government but they can’t take action. Just point this out.
Is the attorney on narcotics. The attorney sure looks like she on something and Disney lose
I spent $ 10,000 a year at Disney on vacation. I will not spend a dime in Disney. I been to Universal several times in last 6 months
Disney is on the way to going out of business.
It may take 10 years, but its not going to last now that pedophiles within and around it want to openly sexualize children in every way from movies, around their parks, in shool systems and everywhere else.
GET THE MOUSE OUT OF YOUR HOUSE..
Thought Republicans are for free market?
If DeSantis looses, it will be the end of his presidential bid. He must win this fight or he'll be a laughing stock like he is now
THIS is SIMPLE: GO DeSantis…!! NO…Disney…! Disney does NOT deserve these “special” taxation decisions…. AGAIN: YES, DeSantis; 👎🏼👎🏼Disney!! 😐😶😬‼️
Fox not supporting desantis but tramp. Desantis should punish fox tooo
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 16
Keep messing around gov . If I was Disney I'd do a strike shut so many things down for a week show them what would happen to Florida. Also I thought republicans wanted private corps to have rights?
I’m
Go DeSantis keep up the good work.
Republicans are dumb as shit. 😂🤣
In response to the lawyer, you are wrong lol What people of Florida should be against is a corporation blatantly trying to nullify legislation legally passed by the State Senate and House. Everything done by the State Government was legal and the agreement between Disney and RCID is NOT in the public interest, it is all about Disney's interest and is therefore an illegal agreement and it also violates the Sunshine Law.
It will come down to Disney has better lawyers and way more money than the state of Florida has to litigate and will ultimately win and the tax payers will pay for DeSantis being petty
DeSantis sure loves to be humiliated.
There's 1800 special districts in Florida alone, most corporations receive such unique privileges as incentives in many states; for example to open a factory in the state, use local suppliers, build affordable housing…etc. If what DeSantis did were OK, then any governor can weaponize these privileges making the same argument "no other company has that". DUH !!! that's why it's a "privilege". Disney in Orlando has the Guiness record for most tourists/year; at peak it brings in 80 million/ year; not even a pilgrimage tops that. Like many, I'm surprised with how idiotic DeSantis is, it's very revealing.
