Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bragged Saturday that he was the first governor
to put The Walt Disney Company in its place after the mega-corporation
tried to push back against his legislative agenda.
oIAm not backing down,o DeSantis said during a speech at the GOP Lincoln
Day Dinner in Wisconsin.
oWe run the state of Florida. They do not run the state of Florida.o
The Republican governor u and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential candidate u has been battling Disney since the conglomerate publicly
opposed the stateAs so called oDonAt Say Gayo law, which bans classroom instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity across all grades.
Disney put out a statement claiming that the legislation stifles LGBTQ+ communities, but DeSantis defended it as a measure that would prevent educators from otrying to shove an agenda down [childrenAs] throats.o
oBasically for over 50 years anything Disney has wanted in the political process it has gotten,o DeSantis said.
oSo people said, aThe fact that Disney has come out against this
legislation for parentsA rights means there is no way the governor can
sign it. TheyAre just too powerful.'o
DeSantis then bragged about stripping DisneyAs longtime ability to self-
govern itself within the state of Florida.
He signed a bill into law Friday that gives a new board he controls the
power to oversee development in the 25,000 acres surrounding Walt Disney
World in Orlando.
The Central Tourism Oversight District Board u whose members are appointed
by DeSantis u replaced a Disney-controlled district, effectively wresting control from the company and handing it to the governor.
oThey are no longer permitted to govern themselves in the state of
Florida. They are going to be held accountable. And thereAs a new sheriff
in town,o DeSantis boasted.
However, Disney has filed suit against the state, claiming their First Amendment rights were violated by DeSantisA move and the old, Disney-run
board took actions before the DeSantis loyalists took over that limited
the new boards power to regulate Disney.
The Republican also took a jab at New York State during his 40-minute
speech.
DeSantis claimed the Empire state is wasting the millions of dollars it recovers by imposing an income tax, a mandate he gloated Florida does not require.
oNew York State has millions of people fewer than Florida now, and yet
their budget is twice the size of our state budget. And yet we have better roads, better services and better education,o DeSantis said.
oWhere is that money going that New York is taxing all these people for?o
DeSantis made a similar dig in March during a speech in Las Vegas.
