Gov. Ron DeSantis mentioned the idea of building a prison on land owned by the state-controlled special district governing Disney's properties.
The governor, who is expected to announce a run for president in the coming weeks, pushed through legislation last year taking away Disney's self-governing status in Florida. The legislation gives the state oversight over the company's Central Florida properties, but in a surprise move Disney found a way to nullify the state's authority shortly before the new law took effect.
DeSantis said Monday that Florida lawmakers will unveil legislation next week that ensures"the agreements purported to be entered into by Disney are revoked." The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, which governs Disney's properties and is controlled by DeSantis, owns property next to Disney's resorts. The governor said these properties could be developed, noting it was suggested the state could build a new prison.
DeSantis also suggested Disney's properties could be appraised at a higher value, forcing the company to pay more in taxes, and a utility that serves the company's properties could be sold.DeSantis has made his battle with Disney a central part of his political identity, so the company's efforts to thwart his oversight threaten to tarnish that image. He has vowed not to rest until Disney is brought to heel, and his allies repeated that message Monday.
