DeSantis Urges Disney to Drop Lawsuit, Move On from Feud

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called on Disney CEO Bob Iger to drop the company's lawsuit against the state, accusing him of political retaliation. DeSantis argues that Disney should accept the end of "special privileges" and be treated like other businesses in Florida. The lawsuit stems from a dispute over a special tax district that has allowed Walt Disney World to self-govern its operations. DeSantis and his allies targeted the district after Disney denounced a controversial GOP-backed classroom bill. The governor has frequently invoked the feud with Disney on the campaign trail as he seeks the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
