Florida Politics reports:
“When you poke the bear or you kick the bees’ nest, sometimes issues come out,” said Brevard County Republican Rep. Randy Fine, sponsor of HB 3C. Fine and other Republican committee members who spoke made it clear that the bees nest was Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The House State Affairs Committee approved HB 3C 14-7 along party lines. A little later, the Senate Community Affairs Committee, meeting almost simultaneously, approved its version, SB 4-C, also along party lines.
There was little debate over whether the Reedy Creek Improvement District was an appropriate government entity to be created in 1967 to provide Walt Disney World with its own government. Fine suggested it was not, and didn’t find too much disagreement.

BREAKING: Disney is a guest in Florida. Today, we remind them. @GovDeSantis just expanded the Special Session so I could file HB3C which eliminates Reedy Creek Improvement District, a 50 yr-old special statute that makes Disney to exempt from laws faced by regular Floridians.

Looks like Republican State Representative Randy Fine, who is calling for Disney to be punished for being “woke” loves to vacation there! He deleted this photo but we found it. Btw, he has received $20,000 from Disney in donations and has carried legislation for the company. pic.twitter.com/ZZX47XQ8tC

We asked Brevard County Public Schools. Their spokesperson denied that such a position exists and said:
“We do not teach critical race theory. It is not in the curriculum.” pic.twitter.com/5oUTEyXBSy
