Why Disney's Special District Is Harder To Dissolve Than It Seems

Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill revoking Disney's special district status, seen as retaliation for Disney's opposition to his policies. The Reedy Creek Improvement District, established in 1967, allowed Disney to manage its own municipal services. Dissolving this district raises questions about debt responsibility and potential tax increases for local governments. The move could have significant political and financial repercussions, with Disney holding a strong position due to its economic influence in Florida.
