The Disney-DeSantis Feud: A Tale of Retaliation and Outwitting.
TL;DR Summary
Disney CEO Bob Iger criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for punishing the company for speaking out against a Florida law limiting discussion of sexual orientation and gender in schools. DeSantis led an effort to strip Disney of power it had for more than 50 years to broadly control land use in a 39-mile district surrounding its Florida resort. Disney used a legal loophole to maintain authority over its self-governing district in central Florida, appearing to circumvent a DeSantis-led bill to strip Disney’s power. The feud comes as DeSantis falls behind former President Trump in the 2024 Republican primary.
