(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) – Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is pushing a bill that would deprive Disney World of its special self-governance status.
Sources in DeSantis's office told Fox News that the self-governing status of the company would be replaced by a state-run board, with members appointed by the governor himself. A notice was posted on Osceola County's website announcing the planned legislation. Disney World is situated in Osceola and Orange counties.

The notice lists a plethora of changes the planned legislation will bring about, primarily "removing and revising powers of the District" and "increasing state oversight, accountability, and transparency of the District." DeSantis's communications director, Taryn Fenske, justified the decision to Fox News by arguing that it was only holding Disney to the same standards as everywhere else in the state.
