Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gets outmaneuvered by Disney

Hi Cuties,

Finally a bit of good news in this crappy world we currently live in.

My favorite (sic) and your Governor Ronda Santis, I mean Ron DeSantis got smacked by Disney in public.

Here is the story on LGBTQ Nation.

First a little background.  Ron, who recently pushed the "Don't Say Gay" law in Florida which bans teachers from speaking about gender, orientation or anything else related to LGBTQ.

Disney, who is the largest employer in the state of Florida, decided to stand with the LGBTQ employees and other Floridians and criticized Ronald which pissed him off to no end.

DeSantis not only smacked talked Disney, but he also pushed to pull Disney's decades-old special zoning agreement to spank them for interfering. 

Disney's Reedy Creek Improvement District was set up in 1968 and gave Disney the power to manage it's own services on the property such as water, power, roads, and fire services as well as to collect taxes to pay for these services at no cost to the State of Florida.

DeSantis signed a bill abolishing the district and allowing him to create a five member board (appointed by him) to lord over the magic kingdom ending Disney's kingdom, or so he thought.

Apparently, there was a last-minute development agreement with Disney that lets the company maintain it's autonomy and pulls the teeth of the new board.

Under the agreement, which is valid until "21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, King of England" which basically means never.  Long live the King.

I don't know about you but I have a sneaky suspicion that Ron will be gone long before this agreement expires.

Of course all of Ron's detractors have crawled out of the woodwork to dump on the "Top Gov" and his less than stellar handling of the situation.

Disney has also announced that it will host a massive LGBTQ rights conference in September, 2023.

I wonder if Ron is invited?
