Disney World on Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state and local officials for allegedly engaging in “a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint.”

Disney’s complaint was filed in the Northern District of Florida. The legal action came right after a new special services district created by the state Legislature to oversee the company’s Orlando-area properties voted to declare development agreements approved by the former Reedy Creek Improvement District “void and unenforceable.”

DeSantis has criticized Disney officials for speaking out last year against a Florida measure banning discussion of sexuality and gender identity issues in public school classrooms.
