The Republican's war against Disneyland
Ron DeSantis, the Florida Governor,聽signed legislation on Monday that takes control of a special tax district surrounding Walt Disney World that has allowed Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) to operate with a high degree of autonomy for the past half-century.
DeSantis during a press event said 鈥淭he corporate kingdom finally comes to an end,鈥�
Last year, state Republicans targeted Disney after it publicly clashed with DeSantis, who is widely expected to run for president in 2024, over a law that restricts gender and sexual orientation classroom instruction, dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" measure by its opponents.
