The Walt Disney Co. is betting big on Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. Since 2015, Disney has given $400,648 to Florida Grown, a committee supporting Putnam, but has also donated $70,000 to a committee run by state Sen. Jack Latvala and $35,000 to a new committee set up by House Speaker Richard Corcoran. U.S. Sugar Corp. and Duke Energy have given to Putnam, Corcoran and Latvala’s committees,
as well.
----------
Disney’s donation to Corcoran could be considered surprising since the speaker led a blistering battle against the state paying their advertising bill.
----------
Disney and other companies haven’t given anything to the three major Democratic candidates already in the race.
