The Florida governor hopes to limit the company's powers over the land its resort occupies. But conservatives have said a new bill does not go far enough.
A new bill introduced to the Florida state legislature on Monday hopes to limit the control the company is able to exert through the Reedy Creek Improvement District, a special government entity that oversees an area that has effectively been managed by the company for half a century and is home to its Disney World resort.
Under current Florida law, Reedy Creek's administration is elected by local property owners, the vast majority being Disney and its subsidiaries, and provides municipal services for the area such as water, sewage and emergency services in the same way a local authority might. It gives the company unrivaled local powers, including eminent domain—the ability to requisition private property for public use.
