Florida Gov. Sued Over Efforts to Control Disney World

FLORIDA, USA – Florida Governor Ron Desantis is being sued over efforts to control Disney World. Legislators, at the urging of Desantis, have targeted Disney with a variety of hostile measures including ending Disney’s long-held ability to self-govern its 25,000-acre resort as if it were a county. Last week, Desantis announced plans to subject Disney to new ride inspection regulations.

On Wednesday, Disney filed a first amendment lawsuit against Desantis and a five-member board that oversees government services at Disney World in federal court, claiming “a targeted campaign of government retaliation.”
