Disney Oversight Board Member Appointed By DeSantis Reportedly Quits 3 Months Into The Job

Author: Shanthi Rexaline | May 30, 2023 07:53am

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appointee to the Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) governing board has quit after a very short stint, local media reports said.

Central Florida Attorney Michael Sasso has resigned from the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board Of Supervisors, which DeSantis appointed following his dispute with Disney, Orlando Sentinel reported. He was appointed to the board in late February.

The attorney hasn't given a reason for his resignation. DeSantis, however, elevated Sasso's wife to the Florida Supreme Court last week, the report said. She earlier served as the chief judge of the Sixth District Circuit Court of Appeal, it added.

DeSantis and Disney are fighting it out in a state court following a lawsuit filed by the company, alleging DeSantis began a war of retaliation against it for voicing opposition against the state's "Don't Say Gay" law.

The report suggested that the lawsuit could potentially reach the Supreme Court.
