Florida lawmakers have approved legislation that turns over control of Walt Disney Co.’s special tax district in central Florida to a Senate-approved board, handing a victory to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who had pushed to make the district more accountable to voters.
Legislators gave final approval on Feb. 10 to a bill authorizing DeSantis to appoint five supervisors to run the Reedy Creek Improvement District, a quasi-government entity that oversees the 25,000 acres surrounding the Walt Disney World resort.
