DeSantis oversight board votes to sue Disney
Gov. Ron DeSantis’ tourism oversight board is firing back against The Walt Disney Co. with its own lawsuit.
The five-member board voted Monday to sue Disney in state court just days after the entertainment giant sued DeSantis, the board and other state officials in federal court.
“We have no choice now but to respond. … We’ll seek justice in our own backyard,” board chairman Martin Garcia said.
The previous Disney-controlled Reedy Creek Improvement District’s board made procedural missteps that render the “one-sided” development deals void and unenforceable, the new board’s lawyers argue in a complaint filed in Orange County Circuit Court after Monday’s meeting.
The lawsuit asks for the courts to declare the deals void and block Disney from enforcing them.
Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District’s action came after Disney filed suit in federal court on Wednesday in Tallahassee, alleging a “targeted campaign of government retaliation.” That legal action took place as board members voided development agreements approved by their Disney-friendly predecessors.
