Ron DeSantis signs bill STRIPPING Disney's control of Reedy Creek district:

• https://www.dailymail.co, By KATELYN CARALLE

Ron DeSantis officially took control of Disney's Reedy Creek Improvement district in his war with the 'corporate kingdom' in a move that will give him the power to select the board and force them to pay $700 million in taxes and debts. 

It comes as the governor and Florida's first lady Casey DeSantis admitted the 'irony' that they got married at Disney in 2009 and now are in a battle with the 'woke' corporation.

DeSantis celebrated with the stroke of his pen marking the Disney 'corporate kingdom coming to an end' as he vowed to make the company pay its fair share of taxes.

The Sunshine State now has power over the formerly self-governing, special tax exempt district encompassing the entire Walt Disney World Resort, which was established in 1967. 

'Disney loses self-governing status, the State of Florida is the new sheriff in town,' he said at a press briefing Monday. 'Buckle up – there's a lot to get done.' 

DeSantis is kicking off a book tour as his memoir The Courage to Be Free: Florida's Blueprint for America's Revival hits shelves on Tuesday amid rumors he could launch a 2024 presidential campaign any day now.

The new law signed Monday, DeSantis said, essentially makes sure that Disney does not get any special treatment that other theme parks in the state are not receiving.

He said that the establishments of Reedy Creek in the 1960's created an 'unhealthy' relationship where Disney and Florida government were 'attached at the hip.'
