On April 22, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill revoking the Walt Disney Company's special taxing district status in the state. Since 1967, Disney has been operating under the establishment of the special district, known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which allows Disney in its Walt Disney World Resort area to provide for its own police and fire protection, roads, utility infrastructure and other matters traditionally reserved for local governments. The district is huge – nearly 40 square miles. It sits in Orange and Osceola counties, which have not had to provide those services and capital improvements for all those years.

Advanced directives are essential tools for ensuring one's wishes for medical and end-of-life treatment are known. Unfortunately, people with intellectual or developmental disabilities are often overlooked in discussions surrounding advanced directives. Thanks to a $35,000 grant from the Indianapolis Bar Foundation, a new program from Indiana Disability Rights will empower these individuals to make their important end-of-life choices known.
