Gov. Ron DeSantis' battle with Disney escalated Tuesday when he announced that lawmakers will consider repealing the governing structure for Disney's Florida properties, a move that could end special privileges the company has long enjoyed and appears aimed at punishing Disney for speaking out against the so-called "Don't Say Gay" law.

DeSantis expanded the scope of a special legislative session that began Tuesday on redistricting, broadening it so that lawmakers “also will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968," DeSantis said.
