Disney can hand off all the costs of road maintenance, waste disposal, fire protection, policing, etc. possibly repayment on bonds. And who would be paying those costs? Taxpayers of course. Another dumb move, right up there with banning 40% of math textbooks.
Then, they should lose their tax exemptions, right?

I find it ponderous that there are those defending Disney for continuing to avoid "paying their fair share" of taxes!
