Disney Takes Legal Action Against Florida Governor DeSantis and Oversight Board.

Disney has sued Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, accusing him of orchestrating a "campaign of government retaliation" against the company for speaking out against the state's Don't Say Gay legislation. The lawsuit alleges that DeSantis has been using his power to punish Disney for expressing a political viewpoint, violating the company's constitutional rights. The complaint seeks declaratory relief and an injunction to preserve Disney's self-governing powers in the area that encompasses Walt Disney World Resort. DeSantis' office has criticized the lawsuit, saying that no company has the legal right to operate its own government or maintain special privileges not held by other businesses in the state.
