During a “Law and Order” press conference on Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced plans to pass legislation nulling immense power currently held by Walt Disney World Resort. His statement came hours after the state-controlled Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board revealed it would countersue The Walt Disney Company.
Though the press conference was focused on signing anti-crime bills, DeSantis commented on his ongoing battle against The House of Mouse. He argued that Disney is acting “like they have the ability to veto.”
“It is basically putting their thumb in the eye of the voters,” he said.
Furthermore, the Republican Governor promised to pass legislation nullifying the hastily-passed resolution that effectively revoked power from Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District. The former board quietly took action one day before the Disney Park was forced to hand control to DeSantis’s hand-selected committee.
The new board already voted to nullify the agreement, which Disney maintained was passed legally. DeSantis promised widespread retaliation, threatening increased taxes, government control of the Monorail system, and a new state prison steps from Walt Disney World Resort.
