The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, under the control of Gov. Ron DeSantis' appointees, saw further changes with the departure of its board chairman, Martin Garcia. Garcia, who had been critical of Disney, left his position following the recent exit of the district's administrator, Glen Gilzean, who accepted a new appointment by DeSantis.
DeSantis' office expressed gratitude to Garcia for overseeing the transition of the district to its current state, emphasizing a focus on transparency and the elimination of corporate welfare. The governor recommended Stephanie Kopelousos, a former senior advisor, to take over as the district's new administrator.
