Disney sidesteps DeSantis board with royal clause
A board picked by Florida's governor to control Disney's Orlando theme parks says it has been neutered by a last-minute agreement with a royal clause. The new board says its authority has been bypassed by restrictive covenants that cite King Charles III. The Republican-aligned board has hired lawyers to settle the matter. In a brief statement, Disney said "All agreements signed between Disney and the District were appropriate, and were discussed and approved in open, noticed public forums". The newly created Central Florida Tourism Oversight District says the binding agreement passed last month by the previous board hands Disney total power over development of the area. Disney made a political enemy of the governor after criticising the state's Parental Rights in Education Act, signed by Mr DeSantis last April.
