So apparently the company will somehow save hundreds of millions by being removed from these subsidies. So I wonder, what exactly were the conditions of the subsidies, and by being release what does Disney no longer have to abide by to save them those hundreds of millions?

I did now, didn't expect the article to actually explain how they would be saving money. But I still hold my thoughts from above, what else besides minimum wages does Disney save on? The $18 wage is not been voted on yet, assuming it passes which Disney expects it will, the wage increase increases $1/yr until it caps at $18 on 1/1/2022. do those few dollars an hour offset the entire tax subsidies or is there more to it?
