Garcia: It’s official: GOP is no longer the party of business

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference at The Rosen Shingle Creek, on Feb. 24, 2022, in Orlando, Florida. For much of its history, the Democratic Party was a vehicle for segregation and racial bigotry. In the 1960s, Democrats recast themselves as the party of civil rights.

A June 1904 editorial in the Springfield Republican put it this way: “The Republican Party means business, spells business, is business from its head to its heel.” “Disney thought they ruled Florida,” DeSantis said. “They even tried to attack me to advance their woke agenda.”Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District allowed the company to levy extra taxes on itself to pay for services it needed. By dissolving the tax district, Florida Republicans are dumping that burden on Central Florida taxpayers. Early estimates are that Orange County residents will see their property taxes hiked by 20-25 percent to cover the lost revenue.

It was sold by the governor as a border-security action in response to President Joe Biden’s announced plan to lift Title 42, a public-health order which has been used since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic to turn away asylum seekers at the border. Abbott seemed oblivious to these concerns. The same way he seemed oblivious to the concerns of business leaders in 2017 when Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushed for a bathroom bill that would have prevented transgender individuals from using restrooms in schools and government buildings that match their gender identity.
