The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board announced Monday that it will counter-sue Disney after the company filed a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. 

Disney filed a lawsuit against DeSantis last Wednesday, alleging the Republican orchestrated a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" against the company that violates Disney's free speech rights.  

Disney is challenging the legality of a new board appointed by DeSantis to govern the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District – where the Walt Disney World resort is located.  

"Disney sued us, we have no choice now but to respond," Martin Garcia, chair of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, said Monday, according to Politico. "The district will seek justice in state court here in central Florida where both it and Disney reside and do business."
