Disney intensifies lobbying efforts against DeSantis and allies in Florida.

Disney is ramping up its lobbying efforts against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his GOP allies in the state legislature, particularly targeting land use related bills that could harm the company. The feud began last year after Disney opposed a bill that forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools for kindergarten through third grade. DeSantis has since threatened to nullify a development agreement that limits his control over the district where Disney is based. Disney executives have called on lobbyists to keep an eye on any Florida bills that could hurt the company and to start aggressively working against them, with a particular interest in combatting legislation related to land use.
