The Florida legislature approved the bill almost three weeks ago. But DeSantis apparently timed the signing to the eve of his new book release, which he also touted Monday.

    1. No he can’t! This is a state issue. Florida granted the status in the late 60s with conditions which Disney broke long before they went woke! We finally have a governor with big enough huevos to end their tax free status 👏😎🦈

  1. Of course, Disney’s going to fight this political stunt, which is clearly DeSantis’ retribution for Disney coming out against his dreadful “Don’t Say Gay” bill. I hope they ultimately succeed in their endeavors. ^_^

    1. Watch CNN much 🤣 ?
      There is no “don’t say gay “bill 🙄 Keep up with REAL news before making uneducated comments 😎🦈

  2. the party of small govt eh….wait till Disney packs up and moves its operation….Florida won’t like the tourism loss…

  3. If Disney decides to pack up and move , then descants will be running to Disney to come back once he sees how poor his state will get with the loss of tourists and the taxes Disney shells out to him
