Report: DeSantis Won’t Back Down on Disney – By Charles Kim (Newsmax) / May 19, 2023
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis said there is “zero” chance he will back down from his feud with the Disney corporation despite its announcement this week that it is canceling an almost $1 billion office project in Orlando that would’ve brought in several thousand jobs.
“They want to have their own government in this state. They’ve had their own government for 50 years. It’s massive corporate welfare,” The Hill reported DeSantis said of Disney during a stop at a New Hampshire diner on Friday. “We are not doing that. They are going to live under the same laws as everybody else. They’re going to pay their fair share of taxes, and they’re not going to govern themselves.”
His comments come after Disney said this week that it is scrapping a $900 million office construction project in the Orlando area that would employ more than 2,000 people.
