Gov. Ron DeSantis said he doesn\u2019t expect to lose his battle against Disney World after the board he appointed announced it would countersue the amusement park.<\/p>\n

“I said very clearly they’re going to live under the same laws as everyone else,” the Florida Republican said at a press conference on Monday. “They’re not going to have their own government.”<\/p>\n

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board announced its countersuit<\/a> Monday, responding to a lawsuit Disney filed against the board, its members and DeSantis last Wednesday. Disney\u2019s suit alleges that the governor was waging a “targeted campaign of government retaliation” after the board nullified an agreement between the entertainment giant and a previous board.<\/p>\n

“They’re just trying to pursue an agenda and trying to pursue a narrative,” DeSantis said about Disney’s supporters.<\/p>\n

“The reality is there’s a lot of people who always used to criticize this arrangement that Disney had as being corrupt, as being unfair and then the minute I was the one to come in to help unwind it, then they flipped just because they wanted to go against me,” he continued, blaming partisanship.<\/p>\n

A summons was issued against DeSantis by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida last week while he was in Israel for a state trip.<\/p>\n

“You’re seeing people shill for a multinational corporation to have special benefits and corporate welfare, as if that is something that is really important,” DeSantis said. “The issue is more than just one company. I think the issue is about who governs in our society.”<\/p>\n

The DeSantis-appointed board claimed it had “no choice now but to respond” to Disney’s suit and passed a motion to take legal action in state court to ensure it has oversight of design and construction in its district.<\/p>\n

Shortly before DeSantis signed a bill<\/a> in February revoking Disney\u2019s self-governing power, the Reedy Creek Improvement District that oversaw the Disney transferred much of its power to the park. This action left the incoming Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board without significant oversight powers on Disney when it took over.<\/p>\n

Disney\u2019s lawsuit challenges the legality of the DeSantis-appointed board to govern the district and asks the judge to nullify his efforts to take it over.<\/p>\n

DeSantis accused Disney of opposing Florida<\/a> voters who supported reining in the park\u2019s power.<\/p>\n

“For them to act like they have the ability to veto that basically is putting their thumb in the eye of the voters of the state,” he said, calling the agreements invalid.<\/p>\n

He also said he believes the Florida legislature will invalidate the agreements made by the previous board.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I do think the legislature is going to pass a bill that I’ll sign that will also, from the legislative perspective, revoke it,” he said. “All they’re trying to do is uphold the will of the people in terms of what we did to make sure that nobody’s governing themselves as a major corporation.”<\/p>\n

DeSantis last month asked Florida\u2019s chief inspector general to investigate the previous board’s move to forfeit its power.<\/p>\n

“Disney is again fighting to keep its special corporate benefits and dodge Florida law,” DeSantis’ deputy press secretary, Redfern Jeremy, said at the time. “We are not going to let that happen.”<\/p>\n

Disney did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
