DeSantis Pushes to End Disney Self-Government

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) “asked the Legislature to repeal a law allowing Walt Disney World to operate a private government over its properties in the state, the latest salvo in a feud between the Republican and the media giant,” the AP reports.

“The move comes after Disney announced it would suspend political donations in the state over the new Parental Rights in Education law, which opponents dubbed ‘Don’t Say Gay,’ over criticism that barring lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades would marginalize LGTBQ people. Disney is one of Florida’s biggest private employers.”
