Disney Sues DeSantis-Appointed Board for Withholding Public Records

The lawsuit is the latest development in an ongoing feud sparked by Disney's opposition to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' law.

Disney has filed a lawsuit against the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD), a board appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, accusing it of failing to release documents and preserve public records as required by state law.
The lawsuit alleges that the CFTOD has been slow in fulfilling its public records duties, failing to respond completely to a request made by Disney seven months ago.
Disney, DeSantis, and the DeSantis-appointed board are already involved in two other lawsuits battling for control of the government.
The feud between DeSantis and Disney began last year when the company publicly opposed Florida's so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law, which bans classroom lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades.
Since the CFTOD was taken over in February, around 50 out of about 370 employees have left, raising concerns about the loss of decades of institutional knowledge and a reputation for a well-run government.
