Tallahassee, FL: Today Florida Republicans filed HB9B, a bill that brings back Reedy Creek with a name change and Governor appointed board. Below is Representative Eskamani’s statement in response.
“They should rename the district to “Disney is the Governor’s Political Prisoner” since that’s pretty much what this bill does; it’s a power grab by DeSantis and allows him to appoint more of his friends into positions of power and potentially push contracts towards his friends too. All the while censoring Disney and their ability to express First Amendment rights and defend LGBTQ+ people. It’s a gross farce at corporate accountability.”
