DeSantis' Disney Feud Escalates with Punitive Measures and Prison Plans.
TL;DR
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced new legislation that would override Disney's recent effort to sidestep state oversight of its theme parks. He also suggested potential punitive actions against Disney, including reappraising the value of Walt Disney World for property tax levies and developing land near the entrances to the resort. DeSantis and Disney have been sparring for more than a year over a tax district that encompasses Disney World, and the governor has been criticized for using the feud to boost his political ambitions.
