Disney antes up bet against Florida gambling expansion

Disney Worldwide Services continues to dig deep into its pockets just to make sure that gambling will not expand in the state of Florida.

The latest data on the state’s Division of Elections website showed that Disney Worldwide Services has made at least three consecutive contributions amounting to $575,000 to the political committee Voters In Charge in September.

According to the group’s information on Facebook, Voters in Charge is sponsoring a ballot initiative “to give Florida voters, not politicians, the exclusive right to approve or disapprove casino gambling.”

In order for the measure to get on the November 2018 ballot, the group needs to submit at least 766,200.
