Disney War: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Board Outmaneuvered In Wrangling Over Special District Control
During the meeting, the board voted to hire outside legal counsel to examine the pact. Special general counsel Daniel Langley said he “cannot imagine” any governing body “allowing or agreeing to allow any private developer or property owners to have that sort of control over the government and the officials who run it.” There was also discussion of striking a deal with Disney.
In a statement, Disney said, “All agreements signed between Disney and the District were appropriate, and were discussed and approved in open, noticed public forums in compliance with Florida’s Government in the Sunshine law.”
