Ron DeSantis Finally VINDICATED

The Walt Disney Co. is ending its dispute with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis regarding development control around its Florida resort, as reported by The Wall Street Journal as a “capitulation.”

Everything we’ve done has been in the best interests of the state of Florida, and we have been vindicated on all those actions,” DeSantis said.

“Going forward, we’re going to continue to govern with the best interests of the state of Florida,” he added.

Disney initiated the opening move in the ongoing conflict with the Republican governor by criticizing a bill he supported to safeguard parental rights in education, aligning with opponents who argued it was anti-LGBT.

In retaliation, DeSantis established the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District to supervise Disney-related initiatives, displacing the pro-Disney Reedy Creek Improvement District.

Nevertheless, prior to the dissolution of the previous board, it greenlit several projects to solidify the development schemes desired by Disney. The resolution now largely entrusts these decisions to the new board.

“I’m glad that they were able to do that settlement, those eleventh-hour covenants and restrictions were never gonna be valid, we knew that. The challenge to the state oversight board to replace Reedy Creek, that’s not going anywhere, obviously that was dismissed in district court,” the governor said Wednesday.

“No corporation should be its own government,” Bryan Griffin, the communications director for the governor, said in a statement.
