The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) has not provided a reason for the cancellation of the December 13th meeting. This decision coincides with a tumultuous period for the board of supervisors, appointed by Ron DeSantis.

Supervisor Bridget Ziegler’s standing on the board is uncertain due to abuse allegations against her husband, Christian Ziegler. Bridget Ziegler, known for her association with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay” bill, has faced criticism for her anti-LGBTQ+ stance despite alleged personal involvement with a woman alongside her husband. Calls for the Zieglers to exit Florida politics are increasing, raising questions about Bridget Ziegler’s status at CFTOD. As of now, the CFTOD website indicates her position on the board is in place until 2/26/25.

This week initiates court hearings in Disney’s legal action against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board.

Disney contends in its federal lawsuit that there is a “deliberate government-backed campaign of retaliation, orchestrated at every level by Governor DeSantis as reprisal for Disney’s protected speech. This campaign poses a threat to Disney’s business operations, imperils its economic prospects in the area, and infringes upon its constitutional rights.”

Ron DeSantis and the CFTOD submitted a motion to dismiss the case, scheduled for a hearing on December 12, a day before the recently canceled December 13 board meeting.
