DeSantis’s Disney District Board To Compensate Staff With Annual Stipend After Doing Away With Park Perks

September 28, 2023 Business, Republicans

The Associated Press reports:

Facing a backlash, Walt Disney World’s governing district will pay a stipend to employees whose free passes and discounts to the theme park resort were eliminated under a policy made by a new district administrator and board members who are allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The stipend will be $3,000 a year, which is around the equivalent value of the theme park passes, Glen Gilzean, district administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, told board members during a meeting Wednesday evening. The board then unanimously approved the stipend.

“We heard you and have worked to respond accordingly,” said board member Ron Peri [photo]. Employees had enjoyed the perk for decades when Disney controlled the governing district. The district was taken over by DeSantis in retaliation to Disney’s opposition last year to a state law critics have called “Don’t Say Gay.”

Read the full article. The district’s firefighters union, which had backed DeSantis taking over the district, turned on him publicly when they lost their park perks, which the board had characterized as a “kickback” to Disney.

Ron Peri, you will recall, is the nutbag pastor who says estrogen from birth control pills in drinking water is turning children transgender.

He last appeared here when he declared that white people were enslaved in the United States. Peri also says gay people are all “deviants” and responsible for the fall of the Roman Empire.
