DeSantis refuses to back down from Disney fight as bill is introduced to REPLACE entertainment giant's self-governing power with state-run board - and force it to pay more than $700M in unsecured debt
2023-01-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Disney World's self-governing power in Florida could be replaced with a state-run board under radical plans backed by Governor Ron DeSantis

  • The overhaul would also force the company to pay $700 million dollars in unsecured debt that might otherwise have been paid by taxpayers

  • DeSantis launched an effort to upend Disney's self-governing powers after the company's former CEO criticized Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill

  • The bill bans teaching of sex and gender issue in the state's schools

  • Plan for a state-run board means 'Disney will no longer control its own government', DeSantis's spokesman said
