According to Foglesong, DeSantis’s politicized war with the House of Mouse has been skin-deep. He noted that when Orange County implemented a law-enforcement tax for property owners in unincorporated parts of their county, Disney was exempted from it.

So, it’s really a journalist digging into this and it being amplified by Trump.

So then DeSantis has now set up a board to make Disney pay its fair share of taxes. That sounds like a positive.
