DeSantis and Disney Clash Over Development Deal.

A board appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to oversee government services at Disney World has asked lawyers to prepare a resolution to "void" a recent development agreement and restrictive covenants that give Disney vast control over expansion at the resort complex for decades to come. The board also vowed to increase taxes on Disney to help pay for a legal battle, fired planning board officials and appointed themselves to replace them, and began to explore the possibility of building low-income housing on land abutting the resort. The tax district has been a crucial tool for Disney in developing the resort, which includes four theme parks, two water parks, and 18 Disney-owned hotels.
