DeSantis might not have support from Florida lawmakers in battle with Disney

WaEx: Florida lawmakers are uncertain if they can override an agreement Disney made with the former Reedy Creek Improvement District board that undermines the power of the new governor-appointed board.

Members of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board said they were seeking legal action and Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed that “there’s more to come,” but GOP state lawmakers are less certain of the agreement being nullified.

“In terms of legislatively, I don’t know, but I’m fully supportive of the governor taking action,” state House Speaker Paul Renner (R) said to reporters Friday, per Florida Politics. “I think what’s happened is disingenuous to say the least. The way it happened is frankly a lack of candor in terms of how they noticed it and how they went about it. I think they acted in bad faith, I think that’s pretty simple.”

Other Republican lawmakers, including state Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, say a remedy from the state legislature could be far off due to the busy legislative session. MORE

  1. Fake News Again… Sigh*

    YESTERDAY:
    BREAKING: @GovRonDeSantis orders investigation into potential civil and criminal violations of the previous @Disney Board of Supervisors.

    The agreements the prior RCID board attempted to shove through at the 11th hour are likely invalid.

  2. For anyone that is paying attention, DeSantis is a bulldog who doesn’t back down from a fight.
    An entrenched bureaucracy that has been in existence for 50+ years was of course going to try some illegal shenanigans.
    Let the investigations begin…

  3. Illegal, if that was the case, but it is not. They, Disney out maneuvered a DeSantis power grab.
    You can 2nd guess all you want, most likely will end up in court.

  4. “Make it make sense!”

    The Trump faithful fear RDS even more than the libs do, that is as far as my logic takes me.

    So when do we get to read the indictment? 34 separate charges addressing a simple bookkeeping irregularity, that’s some major mental gymnastics displayed there.

    I’ve read speculation that the indictment will cover charges emanating from other payoffs to other women. Danielle Steel is feeling pretty ordinary right about now.

  5. Well, the indictment has had one effect desired by the left: it has the pro-DeSantis/anti-Trump republicans dancing in the street alongside the TDS democrats. Divide and conquer. SMH
