they should make that a question when you try to join the republican party..."do you know or associate with any pedophiles or sex traffickers?" "no."....."do you want to know any pedophiles or sex traffickers? we have a buddy program."

in reality, Disney really shouldn't have ever been granted this status as self governing, it was originally granted because Walt wanted to build an actual "city of tomorrow" with real residents living in it, but when Walt died and his brother Roy took over, that idea went out the window, and the self governing situation should have went with it then.
the real problem for florida is that Disney spends a LOT of money on Reedy Creek, and now, they won't...florida will. they have 175 miles of road to take care of now, 67 miles of waterways, two cities, and over 1Billion in debts, which local governments must assume when the special district is dissolved. florida will also have to hire more building inspectors, health inspectors, provide trash collection, etc. to cover what Disney took care of as a self governing entity.
the bill that was passed is one page long...which shows you exactly how much thought went into this decision...which is exactly what i expect from a bunch of florida republicans led by the second biggest douche bag in the party, ron desantis. they passed it with NO consideration for any of the things mentioned in the article...it will cost florida more than 1 Billion per year to maintain that district, and the entire affair was a punishment from desantis for Disney not supporting his homophobic bill

it figures these morons would crow about a business decision. the entire company was just sold, to Warner Bros. Discovery, who don't want to go in that direction. they want to have everything they offer on one channel. that's the entire reason cnn+ is shutting down. they had plenty of business, and WILL be back, on a different platform.
i guess when you suck as bad as the republicans do at everything, you take what little "victories" you can get, even if they aren't actual victories...

I agree that I don't really care about a business having their special tax status removed necessarily.

But to do it based off some bullshit political bending of a knee reasoning and not based on actual economic research is not acceptable in the least here in America. This is the type of shit that makes dictatorships not work and hurts our nation.

Greene lawyer argues her efforts to deny Biden victory qualify as ‘legitimate political speech’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) attorney on Friday argued that her efforts to deny President Biden’s 2020 electoral victory qualified as “legitimate political speech” and slammed a legal challenge to remove her from the Georgia primary ballot as a plain attempt to deny thousands of her constituents the right to vote.

The opening statement from attorney James Bopp came during a hearing to determine whether Greene is eligible to serve in public office. A group of Georgia voters are challenging her candidacy, arguing that her alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol effectively disqualifies her from running for or serving in Congress.

In his opening argument, Bopp argued that Greene’s efforts to deny Biden’s victory – including her calls for a response to Congress’s certification of the election results – are protected under the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

‘I’ve had it with this guy’: More McCarthy audio bashing Trump revealed
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told colleagues that he “had it” with former President Trump according to recordings of House GOP calls in the days after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

The calls also show that Trump told McCarthy that he takes some responsibility for the riot.

The recordings back up reporting in The New York Times, adapted from the upcoming book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future,” that McCarthy had vehemently denied on Thursday morning. The report revealed top Republican leaders going farther in bashing Trump than previously reported.

McCarthy told House GOP leadership colleagues in a Jan. 10 call that he “had it” with Trump.
