Just wondering, but why was Florida providing this in the first place?

Was this provided by the board that Florida took over from Disney, or were they just always providing it?

Florida wasn't, the district was. The district was formerly managed by Disney. Now it's not.

Hopefully Disney will pick up the tab for these firefighters. Do something good and shit on desantis in the process. Win win

"Come on in and spend $15 on a soda" isn't exactly picking up the tab...

[–] Ado@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, but $8000 to $12000, like the comment or above described, is exactly picking up the tab.
