DeSantis' Disney board wants to cut millions from road fixes at the parkFlorida Gov. Ron DeSantis' hand-picked Disney World board wants to cut millions of dollars from roadway repairs and maintenance in its proposed 2024 budget while also budgeting for millions in legal fees to keep fighting Disney in court.
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District the DeSantis-appointed governing body that oversees the special district surrounding Disney World in Florida discussed proposed changes to its 2024 budget at its monthly board meeting on Wednesday.
The tentative 2024 budget which will be finalized later this month includes cutting over $3 million dollars from the district's roadway repair and maintenance line, a 19% reduction from the $16.6 million projected actual expenditure for 2023.
The board included a note at the bottom of the budget explaining, "Repairs and maintenance services decreased due to option to due less paving rehab."
That's not the only section of the budget that's shrinking; 'employee relations' costs are dropping from over $2.5 million to just $2,500 since the board is cutting park perks and benefits for employees and retirees.
