Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Calls For Lawmakers To End Walt Disney World’s Self-Governing Special District

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis escalated his attack on The Walt Disney Co. on Tuesday, calling on the state legislature to end a self-governing special district covering Walt Disney World in Orlando.

DeSantis said that lawmakers in a special session this week “also will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968, and that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District.” The latter is the special district established by state law in 1967, giving Disney control over issues like land use and infrastructure.

DeSantis’ move was the latest wrinkle in an ongoing feud with Disney after the company came out against a parental rights bill, which critics have dubbed the “don’t say gay” law. It restricts teachers from discussing issues of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through the third grade.

The state Legislature is planning a special session this week.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis threatened action against Twitter's board over its 'poison pill' to thwart a takeover: 'They know they can't control Elon Musk'

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a press conference Tuesday that the state will attempt to hold Twitter's board of directors "accountable" for their poison pill defense against Elon Musk's potential hostile takeover.

A poison pill, otherwise known as a shareholder rights plan, would dilute the value of each share in a company by allowing existing shareholders to buy more stock at a sizable discount. That would also dilute the holdings of Elon Musk, who became Twitter's largest shareholder earlier this month with a 9.2% stake.

The idea is to make Twitter a less attractive acquisition target to stave off Musk's unsolicited push to buy the company.

Florida's state pension fund holds 949,690 shares in Twitter as of Dec. 31, according to Bloomberg.

Ron old boy my research shows me that Twitter has 736.6 million shares outstanding. Today 125.8 million shares of Twitter changed hands. If you sell your state pension fund's shares it's probably not going to make a shitload of difference.

2. The Gainesville Sun dubbed DeSantis "Florida's Sun King."

"Louis XIV, France’s 17th century 'Sun King,' believed in dictatorship by divine right — 'L'etat c'est moi,' his mythical quote, 'I am the state.' Apt words for Florida’s own Sun King, Gov. Ron DeSantis...For Florida’s Sun King, What’s best for DeSantis is best for Florida."
