Florida House passes bill stripping Disney of self governing status

The Florida House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would dissolve Walt Disney World’s special governing power in the state.

The move could have huge tax implications for Disney, whose series of theme parks have transformed Orlando into one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, and serves to further sour the relationship between the Republican-led government and a major political player in the state.

Democratic lawmakers could be heard shouting in the background as they attempted to protest the bill as it was passed.
