Other discussions sound like an effort to help DeSantis pretend he โwonโ this mess he created, by allowing the governor to appoint two of the five members of the RCID board. Stewart seemed to acknowledge this was the intent, telling Grimes,ย โWe canโt let the governor look like he lost.โ the โplanโ is to take away two powers Disney wasnโt even using and maybe let DeSantis appoint a non-majority power to the RCID board so he can save face. ย So again- nothing really changed and things will basically go back to the way they were.
