'COME HELL OR HIGH WATER': Gov. DeSantis vows Florida will 'win' in latest spat with Disney

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday he’s looking into taxing Disney World’s hotels, imposing tolls on its roads and developing its property as the latest escalation in the battle between the Florida Republican and the corporate giant.

"They are not superior to the people of Florida," DeSantis said during an event at Hillsdale College in Michigan. "So come hell or high water, we're going to make sure that that policy of Florida carries the day."

DeSantis and Disney have repeatedly exchanged blows over the course of the last year. After the entertainment giant publicly opposed Florida legislation aiming to limit discussions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom, DeSantis moved to strip Disney of its special self-governing status.
