"SNIP........

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) declared that the Florida Legislature will reassert that the state has control of Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

He then mused about potentially selling off utilities, and even developing district land that Disney doesn’t own.

Said DeSantis: “People are like, ‘Well… what should we do with this land? Maybe create a state park, maybe try to do more amusement parks? Someone even said, ‘Maybe you need another state prison?’ Who knows? I just think that the possibilities are endless.”

........SNIP"
