Why would you think the end goal is profits for the state? These are FL republicans! Its about making $ for themselves and their allies/cronies.I'm curious, what could they possible develop that could even be a fraction as profitable as Disney for the state? Disney goes away, a lot of those communities will slowly slip into mad max status when the poverty kicks in. In order to attract tourist, they'd have to - and almost certainly would - push those same people out but where would they go, south or north FL? There aren't enough orange orchards and new retirement communities on the planet to justify letting Disney leave FL.
Peep game.

You guys keep thinking that the state operates on a level thats good for the state theyre solely enriching themselves and donors at the expense of florida residents, most of whom will probably die or move again within the next 5-10 years, florida a huge transient state with an even smaller native population than ever before. Hence, why most of the population doesnt engage much in local/civic matters.
