Disney is scrapping plans for a new Florida campus | CNN Business

The decision comes at a time when the company is openly feuding with the state’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who is expected to officially enter the 2024 GOP presidential race next week, CNN reported Thursday. DeSantis didn’t immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. It’s also tense time for Disney as the media industry grapples with a difficult advertising environment and a massive writers strike.

Critics have labeled the law “Don’t Say Gay.” The fight has intensified in recent months after DeSantis moved to take over the company’s special tax district setting rules for Disney World and surrounding areas. DeSantis has tried to install a hand-picked board to oversee the district. Before the Florida government selected the board in February, Disney had reached agreements with the outgoing board that limited the power of DeSantis’ appointees. The two sides are now locked in a legal battle.
