I swear Disney has the most effective, ruthless lawyers. Never underestimate the mouse.

They were, but Disney kneecapped them before they even knew which people were going to be on the board.

No, he didn't do it, at all.

He has made a mockery of Florida...from education, to insurance, to crime and law and order, he has failed at every turn.

This is so fun!

The simplicity of it is amazing

I hope Maga is crying this evening. On Rumbke they are totally losing it lol

Checkmate hahaha

It appears the people DeSantis put in were going to use their powers to constantly hold things at ransom to influence what Disney was going to put out, ie lesbian in the Buzz Lightyear movie.

The awesome move would be if Disney called his bluff. Many shorts would be soiled that day I tell you.

Agree and I suspect the Mouse House lawyers have something spectacular up their sleeves and bury DeSantis in mouse dung.

This one is also delicious. PP should buy a lottery ticket or something.

+1. Disney employs a lot of lawyers and marketing specialists. They don't need to buy DeSantis off. They will simply intervene in the politics of the state and bury him so deep he may have to leave Florida to see the light of day in politics again.

A month later, this post is aging like a Bordeaux.

Savage.

“As it turns out, seizing control of a lawfully constituted board doesn’t turn on a dime and while DeSantis talked up his plan to the fawning right-wing press, the old board continued entering agreements in the best interest of the area it oversaw. And the best interest of the area involved tying up the land in concrete agreements benefiting the company that drives all economic growth in the area and not the current governor’s polling in Iowa. Tying them up as long as the Rule Against Perpetuities will allow!”

Disney made a last minute agreement with the former Reedy Creek Improvement District board which takes away many of the new board’s powers and gives them to Disney.

😆

"Disappointed" Ron Peri needs to go back and take a history lesson on how Disney was created. Disney built it all up from nothing including the local government and infrastructure. It was literally empty swamp.

Nope. Can't take credit for building up a business. 😊

Jeff, I love when you snarkily pop into a thread.

oh well...

Yep, Bob Iger's lawyers just neutered DeSantis board. The new board is impotent with non of the power DeSantis craved. Of course DeSantis is now talking about spending the taxpayers money in legal fees to sue Disney and get the agreement tossed. Years of protracted litigation as Disney carry on business as usual.
