CNN-The battle between Disney and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may not be over yet.
The new board handpicked by the Republican governor to oversee Disneys special taxing district said Wednesday it is considering legal action over a multi-decade agreement reached between the entertainment giant and the outgoing board in the days before the states hostile takeover last month.
Under the agreement quietly approved on February 8 as Florida lawmakers met in special session to hand DeSantis control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District Disney would maintain control over much of its vast footprint in Central Florida for 30 years and, in some cases, the board cant take significant action without first getting approval from the company.

How is it a win when the outgoing board legally stripped the incoming board of all its power?

And what are Florida voters who give an asshole a 59% reelection victory?

Im sure Disney had several contingency plans on file from when Reedy Creek was created. It sure explains Disneys very calm we look forward to working with the new board. statement.

(4,131 posts)7. Sounds like he created a board
of people who will decide what can Disney do or not do. The governor picked the people. How's this a win? I'll reread after my coffee
