DeSantis’ retaliation against Disney hurts Florida, former governors and lawmakers say

  • A group of mostly Republican former high-level officials has filed a "friend of the court" brief in Disney's federal lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. They argue that DeSantis's takeover of Disney World's governing district is damaging to the state's political, social, and economic fabric and follows autocratic examples from Russia and China.
  • The group claims that DeSantis's actions harm Florida's economy by discouraging businesses from operating in the state due to the fear of retaliation from the governor. They cited Disney's decision to cancel plans for a $1 billion campus in Orlando as an example of these consequences.
