Disney sues Gov. Ron DeSantis for political retaliation
Summary by NewsWall Apr 27 23
- DeSantis appointed the five new board members and designated the organization as the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.
- They claimed they couldn't afford the extra taxes the board indicated would be required to cover legal bills to battle Disney, and that proposals offered by the governor, such as new toll roads on Disney land or even a state prison, would be a hardship on their employees.
- Mark Gibson, who owns three businesses at Disney, said he voted for DeSantis twice but is concerned about the struggle with Disney.
- Longwell stated that in comparison to Trump's battles, the struggle with Disney "starts to look a little silly."
