If there’s one thing to learn from the long, long legal battle between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Walt Disney World, it’s that the House of Mouse clearly has some bite. About a month after Florida lawmakers contested a last-minute document the Walt Disney company pushed out prior to the takeover of their resort’s special tax district, another agreement wresting power away from the state has been uncovered.
Per Reuters, Martin Garcia, the chairman of the DeSantis-appointed board assigned to oversee Disney World’s special tax district, said during a public meeting on Wednesday that an agreement signed in February by the old Disney-appointed board has been uncovered. The agreement, made between the board and a Disney subsidiary that provides utility services to Walt Disney World, extended the contract with the subsidiary until 2032, meaning the Disney Corporation can set their own utility rates until that year.

Watch for the Mouse to run anti-DeSantis commentary built-in to the kiddies' programming. The crumb-snatchers already rule many households with their " ... buy me, feed me, take me ... " routine, stepping that up to their reciting " Don't Let DeSantis Hurt Mickey " would not be difficult.
The Mouse will trounce the louse.
