DeSantis may be an asshole, but Disney never should have been allowed to have its own private little kingdom.

That's just how Florida operates apparently.

I'd love to see them pull out of the state entirely. Florida is a shithole with no reason to enter its borders if you remove the theme parks

They won't do it because that would be absurdly expensive, but it would shit all over Florida's economy so it would be great

Florida still has amazing beaches, wildlife, some of the biggest tourist spots in the US... so yeah it would hurt but they'd be fine. And I hate DeSantis.

this does nothing, it's all posturing

if the original bill went through as passed from last year, then yes all the debt would've been transferred, but this new reworked bill keeps the same debt in place with the current district and instead he will get to appoint 5 of his own lackeys to a board of "oversight"

They don't have to.
Florida taking over the district reduces Disney's financial obligations to the Ready Creek area. Local towns have to take on all the shit Disney used to fund before.
https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2022/05/24/florida-special-tax-districts-like-disneys-reedy-creek-explained/

https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/21/us/reedy-creek-walt-disney-florida/index.html
Lawmakers left town without a plan to unwind a half-century of Disney control or for how to ensure Orange and Osceola county residents wouldnt be on the hook for funding Reedy Creek services or its $1 billion in debt. Amid the fallout, Reedy Creek told its bondholders that Florida could not dissolve the district without assuming its debts.

Fucking over small towns to own the libs.

i wish disney would pull out of the state but they're not likely going to do that unless pigs grow wings and fly.

they cant physically move the parks. And weather in Maine is not inviting.

they should look into doing some sort of legal structure change so all of their winnings from the parks get taxed in CA instead, and they should move all of their non-park related jobs to CA as well, and then call desantis as the cause

Let's move a giant theme park as far north as possible so we can take advantage of all that nice weather in Maine!

Come on, bro.

To be fair in a few years Maine's weather will be pretty great compared to Florida having 24/7 hurricanes

Friendly reminder that everything - everything - DeSantis does is hollow showmanship meant to elevate his clout on the national stage.

Between climate change-fueled hurricanes and rising sea levels, red tide that's getting noticeably worse every year, and diminishing marine life, Florida will slide into ecological ruin in the coming decades (especially considering that even under the best circumstances, it will take years to reverse DeSantis' efforts to turn the state into a Red haven). Granted this will be long after DeSantis has one way or another left the state high and dry, but if Disney has the foresight of a gnat, internally they're already thinking of somewhere to move Disney World once Florida becomes untenable.
