Walt Disney Co. sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, alleging the Republican governor has waged a "relentless campaign to weaponize government power" over the company.
The federal lawsuit alleges that a campaign to punish Disney over its political views was "orchestrated at every step" by DeSantis and now threatens the company's business. The lawsuit was filed on the same day that a board of supervisors, picked by DeSantis to oversee Walt Disney World's operations, moved to undo a development deal that it says Disney struck toThe panel unanimously voted to declare "void and unenforceable" that development deal, which was approved shortly before DeSantis replaced the Disney-approved board with his preferred supervisors.
