Some people are gullible. Unbelievable how the media reports how it would cost taxpayers if Disney gave up their tax district and merged into Orange County. I have friends that work for Orange County, and they all know it would be a windfall for the residents.
Disney pays property taxes… to themselves.
Disney funds just 2 small fire stations that could not handle a moderate fire in any of their resort buildings.
Zero schools funded.
Zero permits to build.
Zero building inspections.
Zero zoning laws.
Zero impact fees.
Zero funding for dumping their waste water into the waterways.
Zero ride safety inspections.
Orange County provides schools, fire service, police, EMS ect for free
If they were merged into Orange County they would pay over a billion per year in property taxes alone.
