Disney cancels Florida campus - Supreme Court copyright ruling - Strip club unionizes

Source: Yahoo! News

1. Summary
   Disney on Thursday announced it would cancel a planned $1 billion campus in Orlando's Lake Nona neighborhood. The company had said the campus would have created 2,000 jobs, relocated from California, with an average annual salary of $120,000.
   
   The cancellation comes amid a feud between Disney and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, which began when Disney opposed a bill pushed by DeSantis. It has expanded to a dispute over the district that encompasses Disney World. Both Disney and DeSantis attributed the cancellation to changing business conditions. Disney executive Josh D’Amaro said the company still plans to invest $17 billion in Florida over the next 10 years.
   
   The facility was expected to get $570 million in tax credits, the largest corporate tax incentive for a single project in Florida's history. The facility would have been a regional headquarters for the Imagineers, Disney's creative team. Analyst Len Testa told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that Imagineers already had concerns about relocating from California.
