Disney hit its nemesis in the wallet on Thursday, pulling out of a $1 billion deal in Florida
, a number of employees didn’t want to move to Florida — some quit rather than relocate — but Disney stuck with the deal until now because of the hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks the state had agreed to.— which first drew his ire for criticizing Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law — as a way to shore up conservative support for his anti-woke agenda in Florida and nationwide.
For one thing, Disney has been counterattacking in increasingly aggressive fashion, especially since last fall, when Bob Iger, who had personally objected to the Florida law,t and snatched the CEO crown back from Bob Chapek. Earlier this year, DeSantis proudly proclaimed that he was deposing the board of Disney’s special tax district. But when the DeSantis-approved board reconvened, it emerged that the outgoing board had stealthily passed a measure hamstringing its replacement.
