For what it's worth, it's likely residents of Orange and Osceola Counties will be taking up most of that extra tax burden. Both of those counties are relatively blue, and neither of them voted for DeSantis... so that's probably just gravy to him.

What's the backstop for the counties declaring bankruptcy?

Given I don't know what's what here, but I wonder if either of these counties could then apply some sort of out-of-county tax to Disney visitors to make up for this? Like say they work with Disney and anyone who doesn't live in those counties pays an extra $10 on their ticket. I think I read the estimated additional tax cost was around $250 for the average family/year.

I think they are solid blue. Orange went +23% Biden and Osceola +13% Biden.
