Disney's Lawsuit Against DeSantis Escalates Amid Accusations of Government Weaponization.
Walt Disney Co. has accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his Republican allies of "weaponizing the power of government to punish private business" after lawmakers attempted to void the company's land-development agreements at Walt Disney World Resort. The company has amended its federal lawsuit against the governor and other officials to address House Bill 1604, which seeks to retroactively void a contract that Disney signed to lock in planning approvals to potentially expand its theme parks and hotels in Florida.
