Disney's Expansion Plans in Florida Face Political Turmoil
TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has filed a motion to disqualify US District Judge Mark Walker, appointed by former President Barack Obama, from overseeing a First Amendment lawsuit filed by Disney against the governor. The lawsuit alleges that DeSantis and his appointees violated the company’s right to free speech and contracts clause. The motion was filed a day after Disney announced it was scrapping plans to build a new campus in central Florida and relocate 2,000 employees from Southern California to work in digital technology, finance and product development, amid an ongoing feud with DeSantis.
