Disney vs. DeSantis vs. CFTOD – DeSantis Board Member News
Significant updates have been made regarding the ongoing political and legal feud between Walt Disney World (WDW), Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and the CFTOD. The CFTOD recently made shocking allegations towards WDW by holding them accountable for bribery while the former board, the Reedy Creek Improvement District, was in charge before the new board took over. Disney has denied the allegations recently and the millions of dollars in bribes. The Walt Disney Company said the allegations were “neither objective nor credible.”
The report was released yesterday after outside experts were hired to examine the Reedy Creek Improvement District’s past practices. The court hearing that a United States District Court Judge will conduct is rapidly approaching, and Disney and Ron DeSantis are scrambling to have their affairs to make a case that will allow for the CFTOD and DeSantis to dismiss their lawsuits made by Disney.
Democratic Florida State Senator Linda Stewart sent a proposed bill to terminate the CFTOD and fully restore Disney World’s governing district to what it was before Governor Ron DeSantis took over earlier this year. “We need to dissolve what is creating this havoc,” said the State Senator during an interview about the proposed bill.
Regarding the CFTOD board meeting that took place yesterday to discuss the allegations made against Disney, one particular board member was not in attendance and ended up being a complete “no show” as members of the board proceeded forward on a meeting to accept or deny a recent report of Disney conducting in bribery with the former Reedy Creek Improvement District.
