Disney isn't going to let DeSantis walk away from their feud unscathed as the governor desperately tries to reboot his campaign
Disney is pushing back against Gov. Ron DeSantis' plan to rob them of their independence.
In a new court filing, Disney asks for damages and alleges Florida violated its contracts.
It's the latest in a lawsuit in which the Florida board says Disney shouldn't have total power over its district.
Disney isn't going to let Florida Governor Ron DeSantis walk away from their ongoing feud as he tries to reboot his stuggling presidential campaign.
In a new court filing Friday, Disney said it wants damages over how the governor has handled rescinding Disney's right to operate as its entity under the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
The Friday document is the latest in the fight between Florida and Disney, stemming from a lawsuit in which Florida has said RCID's plan to give Disney autonomous power should be thrown out.
-------------
Disney filed the court document less than a week after CNN aired an interview with DeSantis where he said that he and his allies had "basically moved on" from their feud with the company and that he would tell the company's CEO, Bob Iger, to "drop the lawsuit."

(4,128 posts)...can't win? This is a 'tell' where he's really saying he's on the losing end in public relations, may lose in court, and figures if he can goad the Mouse, he'll avoid further damage to his fast sinking GOP campaign. Fat chance, puddin' fingers! The Mouse is going to carve you up big time!

(2,726 posts)not only damages, but to shut Ron down and make sure he doesn't try it again. Disney covers all bases. And if Ron thinks he can get some corrupt judge to rule in his favor, he better think again. Disney has that one covered, too

(52,299 posts)If Republicans in Florida have a good reason to distance themselves from De Santis, it is this Disney feud. So, glad Disney is going through with it.

(8,006 posts)He's taken a vacation to foreign lands as part of his campaign where he make a fool of himself even there... further spreading the word of his lunacy worldwide. How the heck did the GQP ever ...
I hope Disney tortures him with this, hanging it around his pudgy neck like a millstone making him so famous he resigns.

(71,862 posts)... a bad problem when he suggested Florida and Disney just shake hands and drop their respective lawsuits. Pudding Fingers messed with the corporate strategy and business plans of Disney. There's just no walking away from that for him. Disney's going to pound him.

(40,003 posts)Ron-Duh wanted a piece of the action. He must realize now hundreds of thousands of people support Disney. In the legal world, Reedy Creek had many legal contracts that were pushed aside by these idiots.

I see Desantis trying to disrupt long-standing policies and programs using The Walker playbook.
