DeSantis could have done what others have and allowed Disney to continue to ride the gravy train. He didn’t. He took them on when he didn’t have to. That speaks volumes.
With a board that can be changed with the next Governor..
Or the next after that.
Or the next after that..
That’s the point.
DeSantis and Florida made up a board that doesn’t have lifetime appointments..
That makes me smile because unless Ron DeSantis stays Governor, then the next Governor, even an R, or the next, or the next, can just put Pro Disney people in the board and Disney can change its leadership over time too, to make itself less mouthy..
Unless Florida plans on shutting Disney down, Disney is the only Florida entity that has proven it prints money..
And money talks in politics and government.
DeSantis gave future Florida Govt heads and future Disney heads, an out..
While earning bonus points for standing up to the Mouse..
Florida govt earns points for fighting the Mouse.
But Florida govt loses as many points for enabling the grooming Mouse in the first place..
