Yeah, and they might just end up regretting it. Disney's been paying for a whole bunch of what would normally be municipal services and doing a better job with them than many communities. There was quite a bit of discussion about how revoking Disney's special tax status could affect the taxes in neighboring communities when the subject first came up last year.
But would it be Florida regretting it?
For DeSantis this is basically an ideal situation; he gets all the positive press, but the problems that follow aren't a state government issue, they're a county or municipal government issue. All he has to do is blame the lower ranked governments.
