Well obviously Disney got a plum deal back in the day, which should probably be migrated to fairer terms now.
OTOH, watching the video, this politician is total disingenuous slime, I'm a bit angry just listening to him, and I'm not from Miami, or even America.

Orange County's population has grown 10x since 1950, which has been a huge boon to Florida (from a tax base perspective, from a representation in Federal government perspective, etc.). You could argue that the subsidy is now too 'sweetheart' of a deal since Disney can't exactly move the park, but isn't that the literal opposite of the Republican economic platform?
- digsy 5y ago>should probably be migrated to fairer terms now. Maybe so. But this wasnt a re-negotiation. This was payback for Disney pausing donations to Republican politicians.
