DeSantis referenced a bill reining in big tech that Republicans were working through the legislature last year when Disney added a"carve out" at the"11th hour" for theme parks.DeSantis continued,"I think what has happened is there’s a lot of these special privileges that are not justifiable, but because Disney had held so much sway, they were able to sustain a lot of special treatment over the years.
U.S. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, U.S. Feb. 24, 2022. "Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law," Disney said."Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that.
