“We operate responsibly. We pay our fair share of taxes. We employ thousands of people. And by the way, we pay them above the minimum wage, substantially above the minimum wage dictated by the state of Florida,” Iger stated during a recent earnings call to investors.
Iger warned DeSantis that Disney will launch a capital strike, which would stop all economic investments in Florida.
“So I’m going to finish . . . by asking one question: Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people and pay more taxes, or not?” Iger ranted.

Newly appointed code enforcement officers would be in charge of upholding the standards outlined in the directives of the new administrator.
