The High-Stakes Legal Battle Between Disney and DeSantis in Florida.

Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are engaged in a legal battle over the company's autonomy as a private corporation. The dispute began when Disney opposed a law banning discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in public schools. DeSantis retaliated by signing a bill aimed at seizing control of the self-governing special district near Orlando that Disney has been running since 1972. The ongoing legal tug-of-war could have profound implications for the state's economy, as Disney pays over $1bn in state taxes annually and employs an estimated 65,000 people.
