Judge Rules Ron DeSantis' Ethics Chair Must Choose: Give Up Role or $400K Disney Salary

Glen Gilzean, the chair of Florida's ethics commission, has been ruled unable to continue in his position while also working as the administrator of Walt Disney World's governing district, due to a conflict of interest. Florida law prohibits public employees from serving on the ethics commission. Gilzean, an ally of Governor Ron DeSantis, was appointed to the position in retaliation for Disney's opposition to legislation supported by DeSantis. The district and Disney are currently engaged in legal battles over control and contractual agreements.

Ethics Lawyer: DeSantis' Disney Chief Cannot Hold Dual Posts

Glen Gilzean, the chairman of Florida's ethics commission, cannot simultaneously serve as the administrator of Governor Ron DeSantis' Disney World oversight district, according to a legal opinion. State law prohibits public employees from being on the government watchdog panel, and Gilzean's position as district administrator is considered public employment. The potential conflict of interest was brought to light by an investigative report, prompting Gilzean to request the legal opinion. The ethics commission is responsible for investigating breaches of public trust by public officers and employees.
