WAY TO GO DISNEY !!! "DeSantis snoozes, loses to Disney" -- LA TiMES !!!

"DeSantis snoozes, loses to Disney" -- LA Times today, page 1 below the fold


Anyone following the career of the ambitious Governor DeSantis can tell he fancies himself a right-wing autocrat.
However, he put his wanna-be autocracy up against a kingdom — a Magic Kingdom.
I am still chuckling over my morning coffee.

From the opening of the article: Did you really believe that Florida’s arrogant Gov. Ron DeSantis would get the better of Walt Disney Co. in their fight over Disney’s supposed “wokeness”?

If so, you don’t know your Disney.

DeSantis handpicked a board of cronies to take over control of Reedy Creek Improvement District — the quasi-governmental entity that Disney and Florida established more than 55 years ago to control development and management of the land on which Walt Disney World, Epcot and the company’s related enterprises sit.

DeSantis’ board has now revealed that, while they were snoozing, Disney executed an agreement with their predecessors that strips the new board of all its powers except the authority to “maintain the roads and maintain basic infrastructure,” according to one of the new board members.

Hilariously, the agreement Disney reached will remain in effect at least until 21 years “after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, King of England,” currently living. More on this delicious provision in a moment. First, let’s get a legal commentator’s opinion of where the Disney-DeSantis battle stands.
