self-governing??? Not doing it to well


Reedy Creek has been heavily relying on outside fire departments. The Orange County Fire Rescue dispatched 33 calls to the Reedy Creek area between September and November of this year, an increase from 18 during the same time period in 2019. The Osceola County Fire Rescue dispatched three calls during this time, having dispatched none in 2020 or 2019.

he's a very popular governor. we are getting a lot of transplants above the usual amount because
we didn't destroy our businesses and kept kids in school over COVID

Plus Desantis set up monoclonal antibodies sites - I dont think any other state did that -
or if so not on the massive scale he did, until Biden cut off the supply to Fla

I imagine he's easily going to win re-election.
Last time it was a squeaker and we almost got that corrupt crack addict

But he cant "do anything he wants" it's passed the Senate and still has to pass the House

He is going to win in November, Florida is a Red State, and what you got is the Baby Boomers numbers aging and snowbirding in Florida, no one moves to Florida cause of its politics or DeSantis

And the Florida Legislature isn't, nor hasn't, revolted against anything DeSantis said or does, especially in an election year

no clue what you mean here (bolded)

I thought one of the right's principles was the weaker the Government the better the Government, and here we have a Governor going after a private entity because they oppose one of his policies

I haven't seen anyone crying about the many tax breaks given to corporations by states. It happens all the time. This is a stunt. It isn't about paying their fair share. In fact, they hold massive amounts of bond debt that would be transferred to the taxpayers. I guess our resident racist forgot about that part.

Texas, gave Elon a big break to build a plant in Austin. It does happen all the time.

And if it was proved Musk runs a racist work place as many have claimed. They can take it away if they see fit

Beto O'Rourke said he would revoke tax-exempt status from religious organizations that oppose same-sex marriage

Why shouldn't they pay the tax like Seaworld does?

What happen to big corp paying their fair share ?

I live in one of the reddest Right Wing states in the country- Texas.

But one thing Texas knows how to do is draw companies into our RED ass state through tax abatement!

Is it fair? Well, not in terms of putting the tax burden off on smaller companies that have to pay their fair share of taxes.

But, Big Companies can bring a lot of money into a state- such as Didnyland!

And big companies employ a lot of people!

Florida may not want to look their gift-horse in the mouth!

But, of course if Didnyland land decided they would rather go somewhere where they can get a huge tax Abatement such as Texas for example- I am sure Texas would be glad to give them an abatement!

Perhaps Didnyland should consider moving to Texas and giving Florida the Boot!
