Disney's Lawsuit Against Florida Gov. DeSantis Dismissed
TL;DR
A federal judge in Tallahassee dismissed a lawsuit filed by Disney against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the dismantling of the company's special taxing district, ruling that Disney lacks standing to sue and that the law in question is constitutional. The lawsuit stemmed from DeSantis's push to dissolve the Reedy Creek board managing Walt Disney World, with Disney alleging it was targeted after opposing the "don't say gay" bill. DeSantis's office celebrated the decision, while Disney vowed to press forward with the case, arguing that the ruling sets a dangerous precedent for the rule of law.
