Governor Ron DeSantis Denies Report of ‘U-Turn’ on Dissolving Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District
In a recent story on NBC News, Governor Ron DeSantis denied a report Friday that Flordia Lawmakers were considering reversing its decision to dissolve Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District.
In a statement, a spokesperson for DeSantis said the governor “does not make U-turns.”
“The governor was right to champion removing the extraordinary benefit given to one company through the Reedy Creek Improvement District,” the governor’s office said. “We will have an even playing field for businesses in Florida, and the state certainly owes no special favors to one company. Disney’s debts will not fall on the taxpayers of Florida. A plan is in the works and will be released soon.”

Earlier today a news story from the Financial Times reported Florida lawmakers considered keeping in place the special governing district that encompasses Disney World as Disney CEO Bob Iger returned to lead the company.
However, that does not seem to be the case.
Yesterday Governor Ron Desantis spoke with Tucker Carlson on Fox News about Bob Iger’s remarks and the rift between Disney and the State of Florida.
“We didn’t drag them in, they went in on their own. And not only opposed the bill, but they also threatened to get it repealed. These are parents’ rights, and important policies in our state that are very popular. They brought this on themselves — all we did was stand up for what is right. Yes, they are a big, powerful company, but, we stand up for our folks, and I don’t care what a Burbank, California-based company says about our laws.”
