Woke Disney Catches DeSantis Napping By Stripping Powers From Florida Governor’s Appointed Board Members

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ attempt to take control of Walt Disney World’s governing board may have failed because of a previous murky arrangement, which the newly appointed board members claim deprived them of their authority.
The problematic arrangement is the most recent development in what appears to be a conflict between the governor and the business. It was quietly approved a day before DeSantis acquired additional authority over Disney’s land.

Additionally, Disney specified the agreement’s termination date as “twenty one (21) years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles IIII, King of England, living as of the date of this Declaration,” invoking an obscure property law known as the Rule Against Perpetuities.

Disney: I’m the Captain Now

In essence, Disney is now the government, said board member Ron Peri during a meeting on Wednesday. The majority of this board’s power to do anything other than maintain the roads and the essential infrastructure is effectively lost.
Disney has run its sizable theme park and resort in Florida under a specially defined area that is located between two counties for nearly 60 years. A board, formerly known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District, managed the region and had complete control over infrastructure and zoning decisions as well as control over its own fire service, thus acting as a separate municipal government. Disney had the power to choose district board members as well.

Its unique status was put in jeopardy when Disney officially opposed Florida’s plan to restrict the subject of sexual orientation in K–3 public classrooms, joining DeSantis’ culture war last year.
DeSantis, a possible candidate for the GOP nomination in 2024, made an attempt to dissolve the Reedy Creek district as a show of political muscle. But, the split would have forced Orange and Osceola County taxpayers to shoulder the cost of supporting a fire department and maintaining roads, among other things. Also, the $1 billion debt owed by the district would have been borne by the locals.
