Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday signed a bill ending Walt Disney World’s self-governing status and establishing a new state-controlled district, giving the governor’s mansion more power over the theme park and its surrounding acreage.
“Allowing a corporation to control its own government is bad policy, especially when the corporation makes decisions that impact an entire region. This legislation ends Disney’s self-governing status, makes Disney live under the same laws as everybody else, and ensures that Disney pays its debts and fair share of taxes,” DeSantis said in a statement.
