Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference Monday afternoon in Lake Buena Vista to discuss the ongoing dispute between the state and Disney World over the governing of the theme park and its 27,000-acre property.
He announced legislative and Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board actions after the board said its Disney-controlled predecessorsby stripping the new board of most powers before DeSantis’ hand-picked members could take their seats.
He called them a blatant attempt by a private corporation to subvert the will of Floridians through shady tactics. According to DeSantis, Section 163.3241, Florida Statutes , requires revocation of a development agreement if the Legislature subsequently enacts legislation that precludes compliance with the agreement. The proposed legislation would prevent compliance with “poison pill” agreements like the agreement executed by Disney and the prior Disney-controlled RCID board.
