• The board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District announced it will be filing a countersuit against Disney to protect its governing power.
• The board unanimously passed the motion to file a countersuit on Monday. Board Chairman Martin Garcia said at a special meeting the lawsuit will be filed in a “state court here in central Florida where both it and Disney reside and do business.”
• “Our board has taken these enumerated actions to promote the public good pursuant to the new legislation governing the district. Notwithstanding these board actions, Disney, while we were meeting last week, sued this board to stop our efforts to improve the district and its operations,” Garcia said.
