DeSantis Outfoxed by Mickey?
“The battle between Disney and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis may not be over yet.
The new board handpicked by the Republican governor to oversee Disney’s special taxing district said Wednesday it is considering legal action over a multi-decade agreement reached between the entertainment giant and the outgoing board in the days before the state’s hostile takeover last month.
Under the agreement – quietly approved on February 8 as Florida lawmakers met in special session to hand DeSantis control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District – Disney would maintain control over much of its vast footprint in Central Florida for 30 years and, in some cases, the board can’t take significant action without first getting approval from the company.”
Ron DeSantis, new warrior in the culture wars may have been outmaneuvered by non other than his biggest corporate enemy, the Walt Disney Company. The Florida Governor is actively trying to parlay his ‘anti-woke’ credentials into being the 2024 GOP nominee for President. Unfortunately for DeSantis, any errors or missteps will be exploited by his new political nemesis, Donald Trump. The ‘anti woke campaign can only go so far on the national stage and he may have pushed the outer limits of what even the GOP establishment in Washington will tolerate.
