Disney Strips Power from DeSantis' Oversight Board
TL;DR Summary
Disney World has been accused of evading Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' year-long effort to restrict the company's autonomy. In February, Disney pushed through a development agreement that would limit the power of the governor's new oversight board for decades to come. The new board, which was appointed by DeSantis, has only recently discovered the action and is now seeking to correct it. The agreement is effective for perpetuity and uses contractual language known as a "royal lives" clause. The new board has hired four law firms to scrutinize the matter and potentially take Disney to court.
