Disney CEO Bob Iger Criticizes Gov. DeSantis' Actions Towards Disney
Disney CEO Bob Iger criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for being "anti-business and anti-Florida" due to his attempts to strip Disney of long-held jurisdictional rights in the Orlando area. Iger also defended Disney's right to freedom of speech and expressed his desire for the company to continue creating content that promotes diversity and acceptance. He highlighted Disney's contributions to Florida's economy and job market, and criticized DeSantis for retaliating against the company for exercising its constitutional rights. The meeting follows a year of changes for Disney, including Iger's return to the top job and the company's clawing back of longstanding special rights on 27,000 acres around Orlando.
