Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is folding to woke Disney, pushing a bill in the state legislature to quietly restore their special tax breaks after posturing publicly against the megacorp.
DeSantis is making the capitulation even as he and RINO Republican leaders in the state claim that they are punishing Disney – the exact opposite of what is happening.
“The bill maintains the current tax-exempt status of property of the district and bonds issued by the district,” the analysis of DeSantis’ measure states.

DeSantis is using sleight of hand to claim he is cracking down on Disney when he is really giving them what they want and enabling Disney’s campaign contributions to fill Republican coffers in the years to come.
DeSantis’ Disney punishment bill advances.
Proponents say it’ll “even the playing field” for other companies.
I asked the House bill sponsor what would change in what Disney’s special district is currently doing.
He said, “That I can’t answer.”https://t.co/XPa91SM32C

So Ron DeSantis is letting Disney keep all its Reedy Creek-related tax breaks. (See screenshot from a staff analysis of the legislation.)

Now, the false claim: This bill puts Disney on a level competitive playing field with other private businesses.
But Disney will *still* have its own personal city government.
Other than changing the board, the bill leaves Reedy Creek pretty much untouched.
