I almost forgot that Polk County was in Florida. Thank you, Sheriff Grady Judd for reminding us. 😂

@bobbybass8505 But the opposite of that has occurred here. The Florida GOP has changed the rules without any debate to retaliate against a corporation exercising its right to free speech. How can you twist this into a Dem issue is beyond me. Desantis and the Florida legislature are not acting according to sober conservative principles. They’re acting like authoritarians who don’t care about the business environment in Florida because they want to wage a ginned up culture war.

That’s a better option than this legislative foolery.

@johnunderwood43 Disney won’t leave, it just won’t continue to expand in Florida. The development and improvements that the bonds funded are done. Disney would have continued to pay the loan for the development, but now Florida will have to. Disney is actually a beneficiary of this legislative snafu. So is Desantis, who will ride the fabricated outrage in the Presidential election of 2024. The big losers are Florida tax payers.

@rjframe4410 I think you’re wrong that this hurts Desantis. It hurts Florida, but by the time the chickens come home to roost, Desantis will be running for President.

You’re a bit mixed up. It’s the judge and jury that must approach these cases with “innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt”. We expect law enforcement to be impartial, but that doesn’t mean withholding their opinion about guilt of the accused. It would be worse if they said, “we think the accused are guilty, but who knows? Maybe they’re innocent”. You’ll note that there are dozens more being investigated that were not named or pictures. Judd is not loosely flinging accusations. He’s presenting those suspects for whom they have enough evidence to prove they are guilty . . . beyond a reasonable doubt.

@SplotPublishing I think yongyoon is aware of the Star Wars story. Otherwise, you’re 100% correct. And here’s the thing: the Reedy Creek carve out helped Disney expand and develop the park over the last however many years. It made expansion cheaper and easier. Future expansion will be more expensive (or might be if Orange County doesn’t just rubber stamp Disney plans), and that will go into Disney’s decision to invest in Florida or elsewhere. And given the current economic environment, Disney might not have wanted to invest more money in the Florida park. It might make more economic sense to put a more modest satellite park (more on the scale of Disneyland) in Texas or Louisiana (or even another country).

Are you one of those lazy parents who is against children being washed, wearing clean clothes, and with haircuts? You’re welcome to raise slobs, but why restrict other parents from seeing to it that their children have a neat appearance? If you’re that type, you are literally dirty minded, and not in some weird sexual way (although probably that , too).

I haven’t figured out all the details of what provision of the CARES Act was violated, but it was likely the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) or Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA). The information provided by Sheriff Grady Judd suggests that it was the former, and that the individuals involved fraudulently created a fake company or companies. In any case, if committing fraud is the only way you can get the funds, obviously you don’t legally qualify for the program. Unlike many people in Polk County, these McDonalds employees were working and receiving wages. They didn’t need emergency relief as much as others. Nor were all of the accused McDonalds employees. Some were white collar workers. But whatever their employment status, CARES act funds in these programs are specifically for those individuals and businesses that are experiencing hardships due to the pandemic, not for any other hardship. You really don’t know what you’re talking about. You obviously do not understand the provisions of the CARES act, and you should resist the urge to give your opinion about things you do not understand.

His county. He’s the sheriff of Polk County, Florida.

Why? If Disney wanted to build a nuclear power plant, it would still be subject to Federal nuclear regulations. What’s wrong with nuclear power? Are you some kind of anti-nuke liberal? Did you know that “The Villages” has the same self-governing set up? Why aren’t you upset about that?

@rjframe4410 Last I heard was a couple hundred million, which is nothing to sneeze at. How did the obligation go up to a billion? Also, the other commenter seems unaware that Disney already pays taxes.

@leroyrussell8766 Appropriation, huh? You sound like a hardcore communist. Maybe you should move to Cuba or Venezuela if you love state socialism so much.

@jolenegall5545 Blame the liberal governors of Indiana. Bleeding hearts like Mitch Daniels and Mike Pence that are soft on crime. They appointed this parole board.

You’d lock up half the country based on that criteria.

@rjframe4410 I’m beginning to doubt that these culture warriors are Florida taxpayers, nor are they interested in employment. Getting a job would entail bathing, clean clothes, and getting an occasional haircut, all of which is an anathema to their anti-grooming agenda. I don’t know, maybe Florida has a lot of smelly hippie businesses, uh, I mean collectives, that would hire them. Many claim to be Christian, but seem to have forgotten that “cleanliness is next to Godliness”.

@rjframe4410 I don’t think Disney will be limited to a single argument if the hypothetical judge in the hypothetical law suit allows it.

@fishingpinky3165 Liberal judges . . . appointed by Republicans? That’s a head scratcher.

What judge? He wasn’t released by a judge. Your knee jerk reaction is not based on facts, it is based on your easily curable ignorance. Here is how to cure it: watch the video and PAY ATTENTION to the words spoken. This will give you information. When and if the information is incomplete and you still have questions, the information will help guide your research. The important thing is to have questions to ask, something you didn’t do because you assumed you already knew everything. It took me all of five minutes research to figure out who released this murderous felon, and who appointed them to do it. It was the Indiana Parole Board, and they were appointed by Mitch Daniels, Mike Pence, and Eric Holcomb, the two previous governors and the current governor.

No they didn’t. You are a liar. The timeline: The Lakers qualified for the Payment Protection loan of 4.6 million and received the money. Their business had been shut down at that point while the NBA was figuring out its next steps. When there was an outcry because of the PP program being depleted of funds, the Lakers returned the money and withdrew from the program so that businesses with more urgent needs could be assisted. The Lakers’ need wasn’t AS urgent, but the money would have been helpful in keeping people on the payroll, especially considering that at that point they didn’t know if there even would be a season. “Returned” is a misleading term, because they hadn’t yet actually received the money, but that’s how it was reported so let’s just go with it. So let’s examine your statement. “they got the money” – FALSE. “and didn’t need it” – partly FALSE, the didn’t need it as urgently as other businesses. So you’ve told one and a half lies, making you a liar and twister of the truth. Maybe you’re a natural liar. Maybe you lie to yourself, and tell lies to support your self deception. (You might tell yourself that it’s OK to lie because “everyone does it”, another example of self justifying your self deception.) Whatever your motivations, I urge you give up this habit of casually lying. Ultimately, it hurts you. It will twist you as an individual. It’s a descent into your worst self.

You anti-groomers have dirty minds, and if you don’t think children should be groomed, you probably live in squalor. Children should bathe, get their haircut, and wear clean clothes. It sounds like you’re just lazy parents who don’t want to take care of your kids.

Maybe they’ll find their conservatism down there.

Person #2 was arrested for possession of a small amount of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Sheriff Judd did not indicate that there was any evidence at this time that Person #2 participated in the robbery or was aware of the plot. Unless that can be established, she should not be charged with the murder of her sister.

@wbarney59 Florida is a conservative state, and if that’s too liberal for you, you must be a Nazi.

Phantom Menace came out 23 years ago, my dude. I realize the wounds are deep. I do understand, I’m an OST guy myself. I was like you once. But Jar Jar Binks was all Lucas. Your justified rage is misplaced. But let’s say I agree with you. Can we just enjoy The Mandolorian in a spirit of good will?

Actually, no they can’t, and the terms of the bond are with the bond holders, not Disney. You want to destroy Florida’s credit rating because Disney exercised its right to free speech? Maybe you should move to Cuba, because you sound like a dirty communist hippie.

Yes, covered in the Q&A.

Check out the Polk County Sheriffs Office YouTube Channel. These press conferences are routine for all manner of criminal investigations. It’s part of that department’s transparency and public education. What you’re asking for is well beyond the scope and jurisdiction of Polk County law enforcement, unless an actual crime was committed in Polk County.

The “insane governor” in Indiana happens to be a Republican. Indiana has been controlled by the GOP for most of this century. These are the politicians that appointed the parole board.
