    Eh, it's fine. Seems like the special district was important to Disney once upon a time because they were developing wilderness into a theme park. Now, the heavy lifting has all been done. The district remains and is now under the control of DeSantis loyalists, but they're just in charge of essential services. It's not like they can realistically deny Disney firefighting services or something for saying the wrong thing.

    I'm put off by DeSantis abusing the power of his office to take revenge on a political enemy, but the substance of his revenge looks pretty small potatoes. Probably, Disney's loss of control over the special district was probably long overdue anyway. Really the only thing bad about it is the ugly way DeSantis abused his office to kick it off in the first place.

    Almost blew up in his face when the municipal debt got pushed off to the residents.

    All depends.... will DeSantis/conservatives use the board on this new quasi public to further their culture war agenda or attacking private companies over their content?

    Disney turned ant-woke, pro-business, freedom loving DeSantis into pro-woke, anti-business, freedom hating.

    At least, we now know what DeSantis stands for ... DeSantis.

    I’ll have to look at the details more but my understanding was Disney was in charge of things like code enforcement. I’m sure many of my clients would like to be able to enforce building and zoning codes as they like but I think the problems with that would be obvious.

    Willow got canceled
    DeSantis didn’t do it, Disney did because nobody watched when they realize it was just a lesbian show that’s set in the willow universe
    @Salvy
    I’m pretty sure this not the last Disney show getting canned

    I'm glad to see it fail, I take more enjoyment out of seeing woke trash fail than the trash content they are putting out. However I'm sure they will continue to pat themselves in the back and hand eachother awards for being woke... cough

    Truthfully, sounds like a news headline.
