Disney and DeSantis in Legal Battle Over Self-Governance and Retaliation.

TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Walt Disney Co. over the revocation of its Orlando-area theme park's self-governing privileges as politically motivated. The company alleges that DeSantis and other officials engaged in a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" after the company publicly opposed a state law that aimed to ban the discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in classrooms up to third grade. DeSantis has pushed to strip Walt Disney World's self-governing privileges, arguing that it goes against being "pro-business."
