Summary

FAQ - New Privacy PolicyFranklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse, argues Walt Disney built his empire on 'moral, good entertainment' and that the leadership today has 'turned their back on what Disney stood for.'A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit challenging Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' law dissolving Disney World's Reedy Creek Improvement District, rejecting the claims of a Miami lawyer running for U.S. Senate as a Democrat.In the complaint, three residents of Orange and Osceola counties claimed that S.B. 4-C, the law that eliminates Disney's ability to operate an independent governmental entity around its Orlando-area theme parks, unconstitutionally threatens residents with higher taxes, abridges free speech rights, and violates a contractual obligation, the Orlando Sentinel reported. ((Photo by Paul Hennessy/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) / Getty Images)Michael and Edward Foronda of Kissimmee and Vivian Gorsky of Orange County "do not plausibly allege they have suffered any concrete injury as a result of the alleged violation of Disney’s First Amendment rights, and nothing in the Complaint shows Plaintiffs have a close relationship with Disney," Altonaga wrote, the Sentinel reported.The new law "does not apply to them, they do not allege direct harm as a result of the challenged law, and they do not plausibly allege any credible threat of direct harm in the future," the judge ruled.‘SILENT MAJORITY’ OF DISNEY EMPLOYEES SUPPORT FLORIDA LAW, DISNEY EMPLOYEE RUNNING FOR CONGRESS SAYSThe plaintiffs based their claim to standing on the supposition that the district's elimination "might result in financial harm to Plaintiffs by virtue of a tax increase that has not yet been enacted," Altonaga wrote. (AP Photo/John Raoux, File / AP Newsroom)Sanchez pledged to refile on behalf of the plaintiffs by next Monday."This is just the beginning of the battle, as we are attempting to achieve justice for Florida taxpayers," Sanchez wrote in a statement.DeSantis signed S.B. 4-C after Disney announced its opposition to the parental rights in education law H.B. 1557, which prohibits classroom instruction – not casual discussion – on "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" with children in third grade or younger.
