Actually, they pay a much higher tax rate than if the Reedy Creek District did not exist. In fact, that is what should have been done- the special district should have been ended instead of placing unqualified political appointees to the board.Disney is all about greed. They want special rules and special taxes. Probably pay a lower rate than a min wage worker. Desantis needs to take a page out of the Gavin Newsome playbook and tax the heck out of them.
The district was not slanted to only Disney's benefit the surrounding area was well served by it also.
There is a RU connection as one of the appointees was an engineering major at RU but left the field to become involved in religious organizations.
It is an expensive vacation and I do not blame anyone who decides it does not provide value for the cost, but it is absolutely a discretionary expense and as a person who loves capitalism, I say let the market decide.
Bottom line is you are ill informed on what Reedy Creek did and what it provided to Disney. I would say you should educate yourself but from your few posts it is clear knowing about an issue means nothing to you in the formation of your opinion.
