Ron DeSantis on Disney tax status in Florida: 'There's a new sheriff in town' | USA TODAY #Shorts

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said "there's a new sheriff in town" when asked about changes in Florida tax law that will affect Walt Disney World's special taxing district.

Florida legislators will hold a special session this week to tackle several hot topics. Walt Disney World's special taxing district is among those expected to generate widespread attention.

Last month, a public notice was posted in Osceola County about a bill making major changes to the Reedy Creek Improvement District. While no details were provided, Gov. Ron DeSantis' staff told Fox News the legislation would give district control to a state-controlled board appointed by the governor.

"The corporate kingdom has come to an end," DeSantis' communications director, Taryn Fenske, told Fox News.

you know what kills me, disney has done a better job governing itself than our governement has done in the same amount of time. in the past 52 years, disney has had only 63 deaths in 60 incidents (this involves everything you could possibly think of).

Do people not realize Disney does not pay any Taxes. That’s what DeSantis is fighting for. He wants Disney to pay taxes like everyone else. No free rides.

[justsayin]

Next he wants to build a wall around Disney and have them pay for it!

Ron and don are the country’s biggest con.

[melanieg]

Did a Republican just say that a big corporation was going to pay it's fair share in taxes?
