.........But, it seems intuitively obvious that the newest law to punish Disney World will have UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES that will punish some county residents to the tune of an extra tax of over $500. It will discourage future paying Disney customers from coming to Florida (it is like a negative PR program) It will label Florida as a NOT-SO-FRIENDLY-TO-BUSINESS STATE.
........This seems like a "cut off the old nose to spite the face" type of situation. All the parties in this change situation will likely end up looking Bad...... Florida, Disney, and proponents of this new law. Not a win-win, but a lose-lose-lose!
