Judge Rules Ron DeSantis' Ethics Chair Must Choose: Give Up Role or $400K Disney Salary

Glen Gilzean, the chair of Florida's ethics commission, has been ruled unable to continue in his position while also working as the administrator of Walt Disney World's governing district, due to a conflict of interest. Florida law prohibits public employees from serving on the ethics commission. Gilzean, an ally of Governor Ron DeSantis, was appointed to the position in retaliation for Disney's opposition to legislation supported by DeSantis. The district and Disney are currently engaged in legal battles over control and contractual agreements.
