Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has filed a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his hand-picked board that oversees Disney’s special taxing district.

In the complaint filed April 26 in the U.S. District Court for the Northwestern District of Florida (pdf), the theme park giant accuses the potential 2024 presidential candidate of engaging in “a targeted campaign of government retaliation” as “punishment for Disney’s protected speech.”
