Tree that appears resistant to citrus greening found in central Florida
There may finally be some hope for Florida's citrus industry.
United States Department of Agriculture scientists have discovered a tree that may be resistant to citrus greening.
The disease has devastated groves for decades and led to a 90% decline in the industry.
Scientists say a farm in Groveland has a sweet orange tree that appears to be unaffected by the disease.
It's a 30-year-old tree called the Donaldson.
Scientists say more testing is needed to find out if this can be a viable replacement for traditional orange trees.

Victoria's Voice Foundation addresses naloxone importance on Capital Hill
In an effort to raise awareness of the importance of naloxone, the Orlando-based Victoria's Voice Foundation was on Capitol Hill Friday for National Naloxone Awareness Day. The Victoria's Voice Foundation was founded by David Siegel and his wife after losing their daughter, Victoria, to an overdose. The foundation was one of many ways Siegel gave back to the community. 'Quite literally, with the use of this medicine, as innocent and as easy to administer as it is, you can reverse the effects of an overdose or poisoning immediately, giving somebody else and their family a second shot at life,' said Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma. The Victoria's Voice Foundation has impacted more than 1 million families through its education and outreach programs. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.

Orange County Mayor discusses efficiency at State of the County Address
Mayor Jerry Demings gave the State of the County Address, emphasizing the importance of working together efficiently. On Friday morning, Mayor Jerry Demings gave the State of the County Address, highlighting Orange County's growth in many areas. Building together through efficiency was the message of Friday's address. Mayor Demings said he thinks the county needs to get used to doing more with less. He said they expect budget cuts at the federal level to eventually trickle down to impact state and local governments. With that, he said there is a mission to continue to focus on a culture of excellence and innovation while building better through efficiency in the county. 'I believe Orange County is a good local government,' Mayor Demings said. 'We strive for perfection but we're not there yet. We're trying to improve on our efficiency.' In some ways, that means environmental sustainability now preserving an additional 23,000 acres of sensitive land and reusing 100% of the county's wastewater. It will also allocate funds where they are most needed, such as $1 billion towards public safety and $100 million to improve area roads. 60 transportation projects were completed this year. Demings also touted record-breaking tourism numbers and a booming sports industry. Success brings its own set of challenges and even with $160 million committed to affordable housing, he believes more public-private partnerships are necessary. 'If we bring the housing cost down for low-wage owners, effectively, that gives them more discretionary income to do other things with,' Mayor Demings said. 'If we improve their skill sets through education, we're able to uplift their ability to earn a greater amount of money.' The mayor said that to continue being efficient, the county will use technology more, like artificial intelligence, in the future. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.
