A supporter of Florida governor Ron DeSantis has been given power to shut down rides and issue fines at Walt Disney World for violating state codes.

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District appointed longtime DeSantis ally and nonprofit leader Glen Gilzean to oversee the administration of the Reedy Creek special tax district, where the Walt Disney Company’s theme park properties are located, the Orlando Sentinel reported on May 10.
