Disney's Battle Against DeSantis and Economic Fallout

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 battle between the two started last year after Disney opposed a bill that forbids instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools. DeSantis has since threatened to nullify a development agreement that limits his control over the district where Disney is based. The feud may cost DeSantis donors and could potentially harm his 2024 presidential campaign. Disney CEO Bob Iger has hinted at the possibility of making amends with the governor.
