DeSantis's Disney District Board Faces Scandals and Accusations

The newly appointed board accuses Disney of bribery, while one member is embroiled in a sexual scandal.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's decision to replace the Disney-controlled Reedy Creek district with the state-controlled Central Florida Tourism Oversight District has led to numerous problems, including lawsuits, a board member's resignation, and a sexual scandal involving another board member.
The new board, appointed by DeSantis, accused Disney of 'bribing' employees of the former Reedy Creek Improvement District with perks like free annual park passes and discounts.
An audit conducted by the board did not include nearly a million dollars in benefits that Disney had given the Republican Party of Florida since 2014.
The board unanimously approved the bribery allegations against Disney, despite Disney's denial and dismissal of the allegations as 'neither objective nor credible'.
Bridget Ziegler, a member of the board and wife of Florida GOP chairman Chris Ziegler, did not attend a recent board meeting following allegations of a sexual scandal involving her and her husband.
