DeSantis-appointed board outlines ambitious changes to Disney World area, from taxes to utility rates

“Before we learned about Disney’s illegal, eleventh-hour agreements, our board was genuinely looking forward to working with Disney in a productive and collaborative manner to improve the functioning of the district,” he said. “In this spirit, before we were formally appointed, our board members met with Disney’s Vice President of External Affairs to launch what we hoped would be a mutually beneficial relationship.”

“Instead, the corporation decided that compromise was out of the question. It was Disney’s way or the highway. This is why we were forced to hire litigation counsel.”
