Disney sues Florida Gov. DeSantis over elimination of Reedy Creek

Bob Iger has decided to go to the mattresses after all in his feud with Ron DeSantis.

The Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday escalated its war with the Florida governor by suing the Republican lawmaker in federal court over the elimination of the company’s special tax district.

The House of Mouse accused DeSantis, his five-member board that oversees the now-defunct Reedy Creek Improvement District and other state officials of launching “a targeted campaign of government retaliation” against the company, according to lawsuit filed in the Northern District of Florida.
