DeSantis board set to void stealth development agreement with Disney

2023-04-19

[NYPOST] A deal that blocked Florida government-appointed board members from overseeing a special tax district surrounding Disney World will be argued null and void Wednesday — potentially ending a heated dispute between Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the entertainment giant.

Attorneys for the board will announce that the agreement their predecessors entered into with Disney ran afoul of Florida law, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

Disney and DeSantis have fought for more than a year over control of the Reedy Creek Improvement District, where the company has had the sole authority to develop around 27,000 acres since 1967.

But a day before politicians voted in February to let DeSantis appoint a new board, the incumbent board coordinated with Disney to gut their successors’ ability to oversee zoning and development in the special district.

The tit-for-tat exchange came on the heels of Disney’s war of words with the 44-year-old governor and presumptive 2024 GOP presidential candidate over the so-called "Don’t Say Gay" bill, which outlawed the discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation in public school classrooms where students from kindergarten through third grade were taught.
