It's very shocking to see how many people here don't know how government works. Even HERE, in a place where people purport to be patriots.
This report says the SENATE passed the bill. That doesn't mean diddly squat. A bill must pass both houses of congress whether in a state or federally. If the senate did indeed pass this, which I question, (only because of the speed) than it would also have to pass the house. If it doesn't, the bill is dead. At least for the time being. If it passes BOTH houses, it can then go to the governor to be signed into law.
A bill can originate in either house (senate or representatives) and if it is passed in it's originating house, can then move to the other for consideration. But just because it passes one side or the other, that doesn't mean it becomes law. Many, many bills pass one house but not the other and never become law. This is very basic, very rudimentary stuff. If you didn't understand this, please do some studying. Honestly, it's frightening that so many don't know this. No wonder so few seem to have any idea what the constitution is or does. And it's that very lack of knowledge that the bad guys exploit for their own nefarious purposes.
The FL house already passed it...
If that's the case, then great! But it was all done so quickly, it's suspicious. Also, the article has a twitter post saying it goes to the House tomorrow.
It hasn't yet passed the house.
And you are correct to be suspicious, the bill wipes $2B of debt away from Disney and onto Florida government. They need to revise it to keep them liable for paying off their debt.
