So much for DeSantis' culture war against Disney.

 

Gov. DeSantis’ new Reedy Creek board says Disney stripped its power

 

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ handpicked board overseeing Disney World’s government services is gearing up for a potential legal battle over a 30-year development agreement they say effectively renders them powerless to manage the entertainment giant’s future growth in Central Florida.

 

Ahead of an expected state takeover, the Walt Disney Co. quietly pushed through the pact and restrictive covenants that would tie the hands of future board members for decades, according to a legal presentation by the district’s lawyers Wednesday.

 

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District’s new Board of Supervisors voted to bring in outside legal firepower to examine the agreement, including a conservative Washington, D.C., law firm that has defended several of DeSantis’ culture war priorities.

 

“We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it,” board member Brian Aungst Jr. said. “It’s a subversion of the will of the voters and the Legislature and the governor. It completely circumvents the authority of this board to govern.”

 

Disney defended the agreements.

 

“All agreements signed between Disney and the district were appropriate and were discussed and approved in open, noticed public forums in compliance with Florida’s Government in the Sunshine law,” an unsigned company statement read.

 

DeSantis’ office could not immediately be reached for comment.

All because Desantis got his feelings hurt.  
 

That’s  great leadership by the Gov. 

Disney’s had gobs of trouble for the past 5 years because of their inept leadership.   Stock is down over a 5 yr timeframe which is no bueno for a blue chip over that timeframe.  Getting politically involved in a state issue by spreading falsehoods just kinda added to their s#!tty C Suite company decisions.

I honestly believe that if Congress got rid of 15 specific people from each party and replaced them with competent middle of the road people, Congress would function so much better and the cable news stations could maybe finally put on the silent good politicians instead of the headline makers.

General idea is right. I think the number is a little higher though.

What's the point of asking him questions if she's just going to verbal diarrhea all over the microphone? 

These people don't ask questions with the purpose of actually learning something.  They ask questions as a way to make a political statement.  They don't give a crap about what the real facts are.
