reported Florida lawmakers were crafting terms that would allow Disney to retain its autonomy over Reedy Creek Improvement District – months after they revoked the company’s special tax status.He also affirmed that Florida taxpayers would not face a greater financial burden from Disney’s debts – raising doubts about the Mouse House’s ability to regain the full extent of its former special tax status.
“We will have an even playing field for businesses in Florida, and the state certainly owes no special favors to one company,” Redfern added. “Disney’s debts will not fall on the taxpayers of Florida. A plan is in the works and will be released soon.”According to the FT’s report, Bob Iger’s shock return as Disney CEO last month is expected to pave the way for a compromise after the Mouse House’s previous boss, Bob Chapek, infuriated Republican Florida Gov.
Chapek’s abrupt exit made it more likely that “something will get sorted out” between Disney and Florida’s Republican-controlled state government, according to state Rep. Randy Fine, who wrote the bill that revoked the company’s special tax status last April.
