A deal that blocked Florida government-appointed board members from overseeing a special tax district surrounding Disney World will be nullified Wednesday — potentially ending a heated dispute between Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the entertainment giant.
Under Florida law, new district agreements must be considered in at least two public hearings, and notices about the hearings must be published in a general circulation newspaper. Additionally, the agreement did not provide consideration to the board and delegated core government functions to Disney, a private enterprise.Disney has maintained that its agreement was lawful.
The furtive agreement kept the district from using the name “Disney” or any characters, symbols or intellectual property associated with the resort.
