DeSantis Calling Special Session to Punish Disney for Opposing Anti-LGBTQ Law

 

FLORIDA GOVERNOR RON DeSantis has called a special legislative session to finalize the government’s decision to revoke Disney’s control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District.

The state’s legislature voted last year to strip the media company of special taxing and self-governance provisions in the area around its Florida park after the company opposed the controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill that placed widespread restrictions on the discussion of LGBTQ related topics in schools.

“We’re not going to have a corporation controlling its own government,” DeSantis said during a news conference on Thursday. “So the state’s going to have a board to run it. So Disney will not have self-governing status anymore.” 

“We’re not going to bend the knee to woke executives in California,” DeSantis added.
