five handpicked individuals to Disney’s oversight board, including the “founder of a right-wing parent group, a Christian nationalist, and a deep-pocketed Republican Party donor,” according toPer theBoard members picked by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to oversee the governance of Walt Disney World said Wednesday that their Disney-controlled predecessors pulled a fast one on them by passing restrictive covenants that strip the new board of many of its powers.
The new supervisors replaced a board that had been controlled by Disney during the previous 55 years that the government operated as the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The new board members held their first meeting earlier this month and said they found out about the agreement after their appointments. “We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it,” board membersaid Wednesday. “It’s a subversion of the will of the voters and the Legislature and the governor.
DeSantis does not appear to have commented on the news yet, but there is presumably fiery rhetoric and retribution headed Disney’s way.
Attacking the biggest employer in Florida outside of the government. That certainly is…a choice.
Imagine what would happen if instead of human trafficking refugees, allowing every idiot to walk around with a gun in public and wasting time going to war with Disney, proper leadership did something positive for the people of Florida.
I love Disney. They are a lot smarter than Ron DeSantis could even think of being. Finally, DeSantis has been put in his place.
“Ron DeSantis loves to declare that Florida is the freest state in the nation, a deeply ironic claim given that Floridians are punished for disagreeing with him.” Truer words never spoken. DeSantis2024
Interesting how it is the left that is embracing religious indoctrination, unaccountable corporations, restrictive covenants and against public oversight.
Good! Leaders should lead, not follow, dragging their constituents into the nineteenth century!

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Board Outmaneuvered In Wrangling Over Disney Special District ControlA lawsuit is expected to be filed challenging an agreement that the new board says essentially renders it powerless. Send in the national guard and take it back. Disney is not there own country. Enough of there slave labor they bring in and not paying taxes. This can’t be true. No Republicans are outsmarted by woke people. Disney absolutely embarrassed Ron DeSantis. Everything Disney did was legal, DeSantis gets Randy creek, but must pay the bills for Disney. Absolutely embarrassing for the wannabe fascist

King Charles brought into Disney World's battle with Ron DeSantisKing Charles III is playing a bizarre role in a messy dispute between the governor of Florida and Disney World which has gay rights as a backdrop. It's outrageous that King Charles has gotten involved in Disney World's conflict with Ron DeSantis. This is a prime example of the power of the monarchy and how it can be used to silence dissenting voices. We must fight for our right to democracy! PowerToThePeople
