The Orlando Sentinel has this
story about Disney spending big bucks on political campaigns in Florida .
Disney's political spending in Florida has ballooned to unprecedented
levels: It has spent nearly twice as much money as it had at this same
point during the 2010 elections, and it has spent about six times as
much as it did during the entire 2008 cycle.
Nearly 90 cents of
every dollar that Disney has spent on Florida campaigns in this election
has gone to Republican candidates or Republican-leaning interest
groups, according to the Sentinel's analysis. Republicans control the Governor's Office and Florida Legislature.
Among issues that WDW wants to influence is gambling casinos...
"Disney is betting the farm on trying to block the expansion of gambling
in Florida," said Lee, a former state Senate president making a return
to Florida politics. "They're laying down their marker … to make sure
they populate the Legislature with anti-gambling legislators."
