DeSantis Proposes Building New Prison Near Disney World over Disney's LGBTQ+ Advocacy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other Florida news, Governor De Santis is escalating his attacks on
Disney as part of an ongoing dispute that began when the company
criticized Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law. On Monday, De Santis
threatened to build a prison on state-owned land next to Disney World.

Gov. Ron De Santis: "Well, there's - what should we do with this land?
And so, you know, it's like, OK, I mean, people have said, you know,
maybe - maybe have another - maybe create a state park, maybe try to do
more amusement parks. Someone even said, like, 'Maybe you need another
state prison.' Who knows?"
