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.
