A spokesperson for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office is standing by his statement that “Disney will pay its debts.”
“My statement stands,” executive press secretary to DeSantis Bryan Griffin told The Epoch Times by email. “Yes, it is our position that Disney will pay its debts.” The reiteration was in response to an inquiry by The Epoch Times regarding his previous statement that “the governor was right to champion removing the extraordinary benefit given to one company through the Reedy Creek Improvement District.”
As previously reported by The Epoch Times in April, DeSantis floated the possibility that state lawmakers might repeal the 1967 Reedy Creek Improvement Act in response to Disney’s opposition to his “Parental Rights in Education” law, dubbed by liberal opponents as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
