[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]uh oh.. now the firefighters in the Disney district who backed Desantis got their free tickets taken away, and now they're mad. Oopsies. https://news.yahoo.com/disneys-firefighters-backed-desantis-feuded-143443169.html [quote]Disney World's first responders once backed Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida's plan to assume control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which had autonomous control over the land that Disney occupied. "Anything has got to be better than what we currently have," Tim Stromsnes, the communications director of the Reedy Creek Professional Firefighters Local 2117 union, told the Orlando Sentinel in January. But now firefighters are having second thoughts after the new oversight board moved to strip them of special Disney perks they've had for decades. Last week, the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, the rebranded Reedy Creek board, revoked all of the firefighters' free passes to the Disney parks and resorts. First responders told the Miami Times this made visits to the theme park unaffordable. "The removal of this benefit takes away, for some, their entire reason for working here," a firefighter named Pete Simon told the Miami Times. A number of firefighters confronted DeSantis' new board at a monthly meeting last Wednesday about the free passes and what they meant for them and their families. They said in the meeting the discounts afforded to them by Disney were a major reason they chose to work there, the Miami Times reported.[/quote][/quote] Most of the firefighters benefited because they got money instead of a pass they didn't use. You would have to go 10 times a year for an annual pass to be worthwhile. The ones who lose out are the ones who took their kids and got multiple free passes.[/quote]
