From Fortune:



Disney has filed a lawsuit against the government oversight for Walt Disney World. The lawsuit claims that the district, taken over by appointees of Gov. Ron DeSantis, has failed to release documents and properly preserve records in violation of Florida public records law. The district, Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, was so slow in fulfilling its public records duties, that it has failed to respond completely to a request made seven months ago. Disney, DeSantis, and the DeSantis appointees are already battling for control of the government in two pending lawsuits in federal and state court.

The new lawsuit asks a judge to review any documents the district claims are exempt from being released, declare that the district is violating state public records law, and order the district to release the documents that Disney has requested. The feud between DeSantis and Disney started last year after the company publicly opposed the state’s “don’t say gay law,” and in retaliation, DeSantis and Republican legislators took over the district Disney had controlled for more than five decades. Around 50 out of about 370 employees have left the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District since it was taken over in February, raising concerns that decades of institutional knowledge are departing with them, along with a reputation for a well-run government.
