"Florida grants board power to cancel Disney deals, sparking controversy"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill into law that gives a new board he controls the power to void development agreements its predecessor body signed with Disney. The Central Tourism Oversight District Board, whose members are appointed by DeSantis, can cancel any deals signed up to three months before the board’s creation. The move comes after a feud between the conservative governor and the entertainment giant, which started last year when Disney criticised a new state law that banned discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools.
