Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill into law that ends
Disney’s self-governing power and puts the media giant under the
control of a state board.
"Since the 1960s, they’ve enjoyed privileges unlike any company or
individual in the state of Florida has ever enjoyed," DeSantis said at
a news conference held at a firehouse minutes away from Disney World.
"They had exemptions from laws that everyone else had to follow. They
were able to get huge amounts of benefits without paying their fair
share of taxes."
Before signing the legislation, DeSantis told attendees to check their
watches so that they know "what time the corporate kingdom came to an
end."

Last year, DeSantis signed a measure into law dissolving Walt Disney
World’s special governing power in the state after the company publicly opposed a new parental rights law in the state. At the bill signing
ceremony, the Florida Republican said Disney lied about the "Parental
Rights in Education" law's contents and that he viewed the company’s
vow to fight it as unacceptable.

Just think what he will accomplish as president.
