for orchestrating a “campaign of government retaliation” for the company’s opposition to the “Don’t Say Gay” legislation.
Disney filed the suit in federal court in Florida. It asks a judge to declare that the state takeover of the Reedy Creek Improvement District is “unlawful and unenforceable” because the purpose was “retaliation for Disney’s political speech in violation of the First Amendment.”, Disney said it regretted that it could not reach a resolution with the governor and had to go to court.
DeSantis took control in February over the newly named Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, which took over the responsibilities of the old Reedy Creek district. At the time, Disney signaled that it was “ready to work within this new framework.” But hostilities between Disney and the governor have only escalated since then.
