Less than eight months after Gov. Ron DeSantis launched a public feud with Disney, Florida's state government is reportedly backing down from its confrontation with the House of Mouse.
State lawmakers are preparing to reverse legislation passed in April that would have stripped Disney of its special tax status and its authority to operate a pseudo-government that covers more than 25,000 acres of Floridian swampland-turned-resort. Instead of undoing Disney's special arrangement, The Financial Times reported Friday that lawmakers are now looking to merely make "a few modifications" to the deal that allows Disney to control the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
