DeSantis introduced a legislative proposal aimed at nullifying the Walt Disney Company's recent effort to restrict the state's ability to rein in future development at Disney World.
DeSantis responded with legislation in April 2022 that revoked the special status of Reedy Creek, a municipal district operated by Disney. In late February, hethat the Disney-controlled board pushed through covenant agreements that gave the company authority over most of the future construction in the district.
"They negotiated with themselves to give themselves the ability to maintain their self-governing status," he added. "Now that's in direct defiance of the will of the people." "Let it be known across this great nation that here in the free state of Florida, it is 'We the People,' not woke corporations," state Rep. Carolina Amesty said.The bill is set to be filed next week.
