If you’ve followed along with the Walt Disney Company for some time, you’re probably aware of the Company’s dispute with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The ongoing battle between Disney and DeSantis’ district was believed by Disney to be an orchestrated campaign to punish Disney for its political views and that this all now threatens Disney’s business. After Disney pushed back on DeSantis’s Parental Rights in Education law (known by many as the “Don’t Say Gay” Law), DeSantis pushed for control of Disney’s special tax district and insisted that his appointed board be in control of happenings in and around Disney World property. Since the battle began, Disney paused all donations to local politicians, but it seems that that is now changing.
