Heels-wearing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s already watered-down plan to get revenge on Disney for daring to question his homophobic regime by putting his loyal minions in charge of the Reedy Creek Improvement District – Disney World’s self-governed municipality – appears to have been ratfucked (or mousefucked) even further as a series of last-minute maneuvers to implement their own 30-year development agreement by the entertainment giant have effectively neutered DeSantis’s hand-picked state oversight board, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
We don’t really need to get into the weeds about what exactly Disney pulled off here and pretend to understand as the reaction by one of DeSantis’s goons says more than enough. “We’re going to have to deal with it and correct it. It’s a subversion of the will of the voters and the Legislature and the governor. It completely circumvents the authority of this board to govern,” said some plainly frustrated wiener conservative lawyer Tiny D had appointed to the now-toothless board.
For their part Disney corporate sounded pretty confident it’s a done deal and that they’re in the clear on this. “All agreements signed between Disney and the district were appropriate and were discussed and approved in open, noticed public forums in compliance with Florida’s Government in the Sunshine law,” the company said it a statement. Again, DeSantis’s reichsministers only found out they’ve been shut down for the next 30 years after the paperwork had been publicly filed by Disney.
