A proposal that aims to strip Disney World of its self-governing powers was passed in the Florida House with less than 60 seconds of discussion Thursday, after some Florida lawmakers disrupted proceedings on the House floor and staged a sit-in.
The House called an informal recess after the disruption began, when Rep. Yvonne Hayes Hinson (D) was speaking in opposition to the Florida redistricting maps that were up for a separate vote today in Tallahassee. When her mic was cut off after her allotted time ran out, other lawmakers marched to the front of the chamber shouting, “This is good trouble.”
When House proceedings resumed with protestors still shouting from the front of the House chamber, the three bills on the docket were quickly brought to a vote without debate.
