Disney's Reedy Creek Tenure Under Fire: Allegations of Bribery and Tax Controversy

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight Board, appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, is set to review a scathing report accusing Disney of bribery and control over the Reedy Creek Improvement District. The report alleges that Disney co-opted officials with perks like season passes, while exercising control over the district's inner workings. Disney has called the report "revisionist history" and claims it is part of a wasteful litigation effort. The district is at the center of a legal battle between Disney, DeSantis, and the appointed board, with Disney alleging retaliation for its opposition to a controversial bill.
