A board appointed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis that oversees Disney’s special district has voted to sue Disney, the latest in an escalating feud between the state’s Republican governor and the entertainment giant.
It comes a week after Disney filed a suit against Mr DeSantis.
The board had “no choice now but to respond”, to Disney’s lawsuit, board chairman Martin Garcia said on Monday.
“We’ll seek justice in our own backyard,” he said, US media reported.
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District is expected to officially file the lawsuit later on Monday.
The BBC has reached out to Disney for comment.
