Disney World’s new “sheriff” — Gov. Ron DeSantis — has officially been deputized.
The Florida Senate on Friday voted 26-9 to end Walt Disney World’s control over its special tax district after more than five decades of quasi-governmental autonomy.
The legislation will rename the Reedy Creek Improvement District as the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, and install a new board comprised of DeSantis appointees.
“This is obviously now going to be controlled by the state of Florida, which is no longer self-governing for them,” DeSantis said at a Wednesday press conference prior to the passage. “So, there’s a new sheriff in town, and that’s just the way it’s going to be.”
The GOP titan initially grappled with the company last year after it publicly opposed his so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which banned classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity for kids in kindergarten through the third grade.
Hopefully, they’ll pay the price for going woke!
