Disney sues DeSantis over alleged “targeted campaign” – By Yacob Reyes (Axios) / April 26, 2023
The Walt Disney Company filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, alleging the state’s actions toward the company amount to a “targeted campaign” of government retaliation.
Why it matters: The lawsuit filed in federal court is the latest escalation in a highly public feud between DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential contender, and the entertainment giant that shows no signs of abating.
- The governor-appointed board — whose members are named as defendants — Wednesday voted to nullify earlier agreements that had given Disney authority over most construction near its Orlando resort.
- In the complaint, Disney said the board’s move was “patently retaliatory, patently anti-business, and patently unconstitutional.”
