April 3 (UPI) -- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday asked Florida's inspector general to get involved in the ongoing dispute between the Walt Disney Co. and the state.
DeSantis called on Inspector General Lourdes Howell-Thomas to investigate an attempt by the media conglomerate to retain autonomous control over the area covering its Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla.
In late February, DeSantis signed a bill removing Disney World's power to govern itself, handing the responsibility for the Reedy Creek Improvement District to the state.
Now called the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, the state board is entirely appointed by DeSantis. The governor immediately removed the previous Disney-aligned board members.
