According to the Orlando Sentinel, the Florida senate has passed the bill to dissolve Walt Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District 23-16.

Governor Ron DeSantis has been targeting Disney and their “special privileges” ever since they took a hard stance against the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

The self-described purpose of the Reedy Creek Improvement District is “to support and administer certain aspects of the economic development and tourism within District boundaries.” The creation of the district means Walt Disney World and other landowners pay for local essential services like water, electricity, fire protection, and emergency medical services instead of taxpayers.

As we reported earlier today, removing the district could transfer Disney’s $2 billion debt to local taxpayers.
