Disney vs Desantis
 
I am sure this will have an effect on my future voting:

MSN

Hope the link works, if not do a Google search, the Florida taxpayers could be on the hook for $2 BILLION if this goes through.

I hope this does not go completely political.....

I do not think the Governor made a smart decision.

You would believe MSN????????? of course they are going to attack Desantis. Personally, I am done with Disney. They are on a downhill slide they may not recover from.

You just did. ;)

Shouldn't be affecting us up here. Mini-He is on a "we'll get even if you don't agree" rampage. Only going to get worse as the next few years come and go.

And you have every right to do that. They did something, you disagree with it, as an American you have every right to not patronize them.

Sadly, THEY apparently do not have a right to say what they believe. There is NO doubt why this action is being taken, it is a government action to retaliate against a speech that the government disagrees with - isn't that covered someplace in the constitution? Isn't free speech something we hear all the time on this forum. Or is freedom of speech only free when one agrees with the person being censored?

I hope some will look beyond the reason this action is being taken and see it is a direct attack on democracy in our country and a direct violation of the constitution.

"Some"........will. The special interest focus will be tolerated/allowed tocontinue until they eventually out numbering the some!

This topic doesn't seem like something VT would start a thread about. After 11 years on this forum, and viewing hundreds if not thousands of his comments, I almost think his account was hacked ...

VT here, I found the article interesting, I missed there were only 2 counties involved, but the potential financial impact was what I was trying to point out, made national news this evening. It will be interesting to see what happens next.

I really was not going to post this, probably my last close to political post. I will just go back to helping people.

The potential financial impact is interesting. I have been looking for some information on this so I appreciate you posting the link.

Thank you Governor. It's a start.

Surprised this was allowed because it is very political. However, I think it's important to know about about matters that affect people's taxes.

Just my two cents, but to me, the Governor's appropriate title is "Moron DeSantis" -- that's about as political I will get because I don't want to get banned ... :icon_wink:
