Broadcasting directly from Telemundo´s studios in Miami, Florida, the liberal hostesses of the network´s afternoon talk show La Mesa Caliente (The Hot Table), aired their collective DeSantis derangement by falsely claiming that Floridians will see tax hikes as a result of the end of Walt Disney World´s self-governing status via revocation of the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
In a segment that aired on February 28th, co-hosts Verónica Bastos, Alix Aspe and Giselle Blondet delighted in spreading the FAKE NEWS that Orlando’s “kingdom” will now pass their DeSantis-induced economic hardships on to the hardworking people of Florida:
VERÓNICA BASTOS: And now, if they do not have this kingdom, so to speak,
CROSSTALK: That’s what it is, right?
BASTOS: If, if (Disney) are no longer the owners, then who’s going to end up paying for all of that? We will- those of us who go to Orlando every year, or in fact, the very people who live in Orlando and will now have to pay for all the services, the price increases for everything, because I don’t think that Disney will say – “we´re no longer the owner here, so now we´re no longer responsible for that…”
[…]
ALIX ASPE: I believe that you, as a governor, should not get directly involved with what a private company does, more so when it is so beneficial to your state. In other words – I mean like…why would you want people in the state to pay more taxes…
[…]
GISELLE BLONDET: And we are the ones who will suffer harm.
“Since they are no longer a kingdom, so to speak”, said Bastos, “then who’s going to end up paying for all of that? We will- those of us who go to Orlando every year, or in fact, the very people who live in Orlando.”
Where did Bastos get that information from? Probably from equally misinformed co-hostess Alix Aspe who went on to add that what DeSantis really wants is for residents of the state to pay MORE taxes. In her opinion, a governor should have no say about the workings of the private sector, especially one that is ´so beneficial to your state´.
Correction, ladies: Walt Disney World had, until February 28th, 2023, exclusive taxation status and a host of exemptions and privileges denied to other private companies in the state. In effect, with House Bill 9-B, the people of Florida will benefit from an enormously lucrative corporation that previously operated like, yes, a private kingdom, paying their dues and being regulated just like everyone else
HB-9-B will also ensure that Disney’s municipal debt will be paid by Disney, not Florida taxpayers.
Telemundo’s audience, especially those who live in Florida, deserve to know what HB 9-B really does: it ends Disney’s self-governing status and imposes a five-member state control board that is appointed by the Governor and subject to Senate confirmation.
It also:
ENDS Disney’s self-governing status.
ENDS Disney’s exemption from the Florida Building Code and Florida Fire Prevention Code.
ENDS Disney’s exemption from state regulatory reviews and approvals.
ENDS Disney’s secrecy by ensuring transparency.
ENSURES that Disney will pay its fair share of taxes.
PREVENTS leftist local governments from using the situation to raise local taxes.
IMPOSES Florida law so that Disney is no longer given preferential treatment.
ENSURES that Disney’s municipal debt will be paid by Disney, not Florida taxpayers.
Regardless of the need to vent their liberal ire at everything Ron DeSantis does, recurring to sensationalism and lies belittles the discussion at La Mesa Caliente. The Telemundo audience deserves better than your everyday Spanish-language disinformation.
