The Orlando Sentinel reports:
The state will likely assume control of Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District, rather than local governments absorbing it, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday. DeSantis said he is working on a proposal that likely will be considered by the Legislature after the November elections.
Reedy Creek, which encompasses Disney World and neighboring properties, is set to dissolve on June 1, 2023. The governor’s office hasn’t released a written plan detailing how the dissolution of Disney World’s private government will unfold.
At an event in Sanford, DeSantis also insisted Central Florida taxpayers will not be forced to absorb the district’s nearly $1 billion in debt. Under state law, the district’s assets and liabilities would be transferred to the “local general purpose government” when it’s abolished.
Read the full article. In other words, every Floridian will eat that billion dollars, not just the residents of Orange and Osceola counties.
The #DeSantis regime will abolish and seize control of a local government in retaliation for opposing his extreme agenda.
Let that sink in. https://t.co/ancFzvVY34 pic.twitter.com/SuClUHzUiK

Petty, vindictive POS DeSantis takes punishing Disney for daring to have a political opinion contrary to his to a new level: he now wants his regime to take over the Reedy Creek Improvement District. #RemoveRon #DeSantisDestroysFlorida https://t.co/nS0yJojaw6

JUST IN: @GovRonDeSantis on #Disney: “With Reedy Creek, the path forward is Disney will not control its own government… They will pay their fair share of taxes and they will be responsible for paying the debts.” pic.twitter.com/KUx75mpIpc
