BREAKING NEWS: Disney sues GovRonDeSantis over loss of special district
Florida CFO Jimmy Patronis discusses the ongoing rift between Gov. Ron DeSantis and Disney.
Disney is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after the state revoked its self-governing authority in a highly publicized feud over the company's political activities. Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc., filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida on Wednesday, alleging DeSantis led a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" against the company that violates Disney's free speech rights.
"Disney regrets that it has come to this. But having exhausted efforts to seek a resolution, the Company is left with no choice but to file this lawsuit to protect its cast members, guests, and local development partners from a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials," the complaint states.
