Dissolving Disney’s 50-year-old special tax district status was “beyond the scope of what I, as a conservative limited government Republican would be prepared to do,” former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said.
“‘Going after their taxing authority … that was beyond the scope of what I, as a conservative limited government Republican would be prepared to do.’”
DeSantis has gone after Disney ever since some of its leaders came out against Florida’s so-called Don’t Say Gay law, signed last year by the Republican governor. The law bars instruction about and even mention of sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade as well as other lessons deemed not age-appropriate.
DeSantis signed a bill last year dissolving Disney’s 50-year-old special tax district near Orlando, which has allowed Disney to self-govern the land that includes its theme parks, leading to rapid expansion of parks, hotels and other attractions.
