amongst a whole host of details, there was this, tooIger spoke at length about the company's situation in Florida where it operates four theme parks, two waterparks, numerous hotels, and the large Disney Springs shopping district.
he dealt with why Disney pays so much property tax etc..., RICO, and how if this was about leveling the playing field as desantis claims then there are many other special areas like Daytona and The Village which should also be targeted. He finished up speaking about the $17B over ten years planned investment in florida and with this:The company has over 75,000 employees in the state and attracts "tens of millions of people" to Florida.

We employ thousands of people and by the way, we pay them above the minimum wage substantially above the minimum wage dictated by the state of Florida. We also provide them with great benefits and free education, so I’m gonna finish what is obviously kind of a long answer by asking one question. Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people and pay more taxes or not?"
