Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ hand-picked board to oversee Disney’s tax district “weaponized” a new special magistrate who could impose $500 fines — and even shut down rides — for code violations at its theme parks, according to a published report.
“This is about one thing and one thing only: them retaliating against us,” Iger said during a call with investors after Disney reported DeSantis ally Glenn Gilzean has been appointed as an administrator on The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board.“Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people, pay more taxes or not?”
Gilzean, the former president and CEO of the Central Florida Urban League, will receive a starting salary of $400,000 and will be the state’s point person in the lawsuit filed by Disney against the new district. DeSantis had previously appointed Gilzean as Chair of the Florida Commission on Ethics and to serve on the Re-Open Florida Task Force.
