Walt Disney Parks And Resorts Us Inc V. Desantis Et Al
A lawsuit has been filed by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts US Inc against Governor Ronald D. DeSantis and several other Florida officials. The lawsuit alleges that the government's actions in dissolving the Reedy Creek Improvement District and seizing control of it violated the Constitution. The district has been crucial to Disney's success in Central Florida since 1967, and the company claims that the government's actions were retaliatory and anti-business. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Contracts Clause, Takings Clause, Due Process Clause, and First Amendment. Disney is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to protect its business operations and constitutional rights. The lawsuit involves the Reedy Creek Improvement District and Disney, the primary landowner and largest taxpayer in the district, and likely challenges the constitutionality of the government's actions as retaliation against Disney's protected speech.
