A Disney representative noted that Florida officials reviewed Disney’s comprehensive plan for development in the district—the plan upon which the development agreement approved in February is based—in July 2022 and found that it met minimum requirements under state law.

“Just because you have different commissioners, you can’t breach a contract,” Mr. Planas said. “If they did cancel it…Disney could get damages from Reedy Creek that would end up bankrupting the district.”

This &$ Guy. Maybe put a prison next to Disney if he don’t get what he want. He sound like the Mob bosses in New York. What a joke. Not even Trump would make those type of Threats. SmDH and he wants to be president. Better stay in the swamp lands and fight teaching history

Translation: 'Guy who wears ill-fitted suits thinks Disney's lobbyists vs. him will last longer than a 1987 Tyson fight.'

Lol. Watching DeSantis trying but failing to punish Disney for not hating gays enough only to discover he’s more impotent than your average Karen running an HOA is one of the funniest political developments in history.

It’s not good to bite the hand that feeds you. I know he really,really wants to be POTUS, but this is not the way to do it.

Good. Pedos aren't welcome.

Sure.

DeSantis desire to “co quiet” Disney is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen

Santis determination to conquer Disney is inevitable. He is a failure going head long and no one can convince him otherwise. So be it.

Yeah cause you are smarter than their lawyers. Good one!

and both Federal and FL law disallow this move. So Ronny loses in court again, public opinion is already gone.

I guess the MPAA went woke and pissed off average American families...

Governor Meatball picking a fight with Walt Disney offers ample evidence regarding his profound unsuitability to occupy a higher office. Petty, petulant ego-driven acts of vengeance are not the hallmarks of a preferred leader.

Disney brings in what, 50% of Florida’s revenue?

Ron DeSantis touts new bill to assert control over Disney, suggests building prison near resortGov. Ron DeSantis mentioned the idea of building a prison on land owned by the state-controlled special district governing Disney's properties. What a mewling quim. Fort Lauderdale is the under water and this pudding slurping, elevator shoes wearing little dicktator is fighting the largest employer in his state because they hurt his wittle feewings. Just stating facts here: GovRonDeSantis says his actions against Disney reflect the “will of the people.” But according to reputable polls, it’s the will of the people to have common-sense gun laws and the will of the people oppose his abortion law. He’s out of control. Why would you want to build a prison near a place where there are children trying to have fun? Great tourist attraction

DeSantis seeks to control Disney with state oversight powersGov. Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers are ratcheting up pressure on Walt Disney World. They announced on Monday plans to introduce legislation that would end an exemption for Disney parks, allowing the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to inspect Disney rides. The announcement is the latest in a tit-for-tat between Disney and the governor that started last year when the entertainment giant publicly opposed the state’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” legislation. In retaliation, Florida lawmakers passed, and DeSantis signed, legislation reorganizing Disney World’s company-controlled government, allowing the governor to appoint the five members of the Board of Supervisors instead of Disney. Disney response.... While DeSantis attempts to control a single empire called Disney, HE forgets to pay attention to the business climate he creates in Florida as business decides not to be involved in the state! All because Ron has a hard on for Disney! It thought it was about revoking Disney World's special status. Basically, the same treatment as other theme parks like Busch Gardens and Universal Studios currently get.
