DeSantis: The Authoritarian

.... This gets into my regularly stated opinion that businesses should focus on their business and stay the hell out of politics. For Disney in regards to the Reedy Creek tax district nothing has effectively changed except for the appointees on the oversight board.

Now that Bob Iger has taken over, the response is to basically ignore Florida state politics publicly and quietly work privately to keep things on track -- while focusing on its customers. "Basically, the company is saying that it's not going to worry about things it can't control. Instead, it's going to focus on what it can: delivering great experiences for its customers."

"We work really hard to make higher education affordable for Floridians, and we’re proud of that. We have the most affordable higher education in the country," DeSantis said at a news conference last week. "We have had inflation. The costs have changed. If we want to hold the line on tuition, then you've got to say, you need to be a U.S. citizen who lives in Florida. Why would we subsidize non-U.S. citizens when we want to make sure we want to keep it affordable for our own people?"

While some Republicans who backed the law have been silent on the issue, Scott has criticized DeSantis' proposal as “unfair."

He recently told reporters in Tampa that "it’s a bill that I was proud to sign. … It’s a bill I would sign again today.”
