Disney sues DeSantis and oversight board over nullified agreement.

Disney has sued Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his oversight board, accusing them of weaponizing political power to punish the company for exercising its free speech rights. The lawsuit was filed after the board sought to invalidate an agreement struck between Disney and the previous board in February. The fight has strained the relationship between Florida’s government and the state’s best-known employer and attraction of tourist dollars. The fight now shifts to the courts, where Disney is seeking an injunction that would block the board from exercising the power DeSantis and the Republican-led legislature sought to hand it.
