Citizens Insurance says they ‘will always be able’ to pay Florida claims, wildlife advocates threaten lawsuit to protect manatees, DeSantis signs ‘Live Healthy’ bill package and other news you may have missed.

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER AND THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

» Apopka Wells Fargo bank workers vote to unionize Employees at a Wells Fargo bank in Apopka voted unanimously to join Wells Fargo Workers United, joining a growing number of unionized locations nationwide. Their union is affiliated with the Communications Workers of America, which represents hundreds of thousands of workers nationwide in telecommunications, customer service, media and other industries. The Wells Fargo organizing campaign, driven by a desire for better working conditions, pay and staffing, has been years in the making, according to organizers, but only recently notched its first victories through formal union elections. Workers at the Apopka branch first filed their petition with the National Labor Relations Board to unionize last month, while another branch in Belleview, Florida — located near The Villages — petitioned for a union election on March 8. Wells Fargo is the only major U.S. bank with unionized branch locations, even if they so far make up just a small percentage of the bank’s overall workforce. The banking industry has historically been hostile to organizing activity, according to the CWA. Less than 2% of the industry’s workforce nationwide can say they’re union and Wells Fargo, for its part, wants to keep it that way: An internal Wells Fargo PowerPoint presentation obtained by Bloomberg last year, shared among the bank’s executives, expressed concerns that a union resurgence in certain U.S. sectors could reach them next. The company, which has faced numerous controversies in recent years (from allegedly discriminatory mortgage practices to opening up millions of fake accounts), reportedly planned to earmark millions of dollars to address the workforce’s “pain points” (i.e., employee complaints) to head off unionization attempts.

» Citizens Insurance CEO says the state-backed insurer ‘will always be able’ to pay claims

The chief executive of Florida’s Citizens Property Insurance Corp. last week pushed back against financial questions raised by the chairman of the U.S. Senate Budget Committee, saying the insurer “will always be able” to pay claims. Citizens President and CEO Tim Cerio released a statement after Senate Budget Chairman Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, sent a letter that cited a comment by Gov. Ron DeSantis last month during an interview on CNBC that Citizens is “not solvent.” That came after Whitehouse in November requested financial information from Citizens and raised the possibility that the insurer could seek a federal bailout if Florida gets hit by a major hurricane. In his statement, Cerio cited a Dec. 15 response that Citizens provided to Whitehouse. “We believe we fully addressed the concerns raised in Chairman Whitehouse’s prior letter by pointing out in great detail the mechanisms under Florida law that ensure Citizens will always be able to pay the claims of its insureds [customers],” Cerio said in the statement. “We also highlighted that neither Citizens, its predecessor entities, nor the state of Florida, have ever sought a federal bailout to cover hurricane losses. We also expressed concern that the chairman’s letter could cause misplaced panic in a Florida insurance market well on its way to recovery.”

» Florida Gov. DeSantis signs bills supporters say could improve access to health care

Gov. Ron DeSantis last Thursday signed a package of bills that supporters say will help improve access to health care, boost the number of doctors in Florida and address issues such as mental-health treatment. The bills were a priority of Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, a Naples Republican who dubbed them the “Live Healthy” initiative. DeSantis signed five bills, though much of the attention has focused on a wide-ranging measure (SB 7016) that includes $717 million in spending and will, for example, provide money for increased residency slots for doctors and put additional dollars into loan-forgiveness programs for health-care professionals. The bill also will take workforce-related steps such as helping clear the way for foreign-trained physicians to practice in Florida. The bill also addresses issues such as trying to shift patients away from hospital emergency rooms for non-emergency conditions. It will require hospitals to take steps to divert patients such as by creating a “collaborative partnership” with federally qualified health centers or other primary-care providers. The bill also includes allowing “advanced birth centers” to provide cesarean-section deliveries for women who have what are considered low-risk pregnancies. Another bill (SB 330) will designate four behavioral-health teaching hospitals linked to universities to help address issues with treating patients for mental-health conditions. Other bills signed were a measure (SB 1758) that addresses programs and services at the Agency for Persons with Disabilities and a measure (SB 322) that creates a public-records exemption for certain health-care professionals.

The bills moved through the Legislature with almost no opposition, though Democrats repeatedly argued that the package should include expanding eligibility for Medicaid — an idea rejected for the past decade by Republican leaders.

» Wildlife advocates threaten lawsuit to get Florida manatees reclassified as endangered Supporters of bolstering protections for manatees notified the federal government last week that they are preparing to file a lawsuit over delays in determining whether manatees should be classified as an endangered species. The notice stems from a petition that four organizations and an individual filed in November 2022 asking the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to reclassify manatees from a threatened species to an endangered species. The Center for Biological Diversity, the Harvard Animal Law & Policy Clinic, Miami Waterkeeper, the Save the Manatee Club and Frank S. González García said in their filing that federal officials did not comply with a requirement to provide findings within 12 months of the petition about whether reclassification was warranted. “The West Indian manatee is in danger of extinction, and the (Fish and Wildlife) Service’s continued delay in issuing its 12-month finding harms the manatee’s prospects for survival and recovery,” the notice said. “Petitioners are eager to address this violation and to discuss with the service prospects for resolution ahead of litigation. If the service does not act promptly to correct its failure to timely issue the 12-month finding, petitioners will pursue litigation against the agency.” The petition was filed after Florida had a record 1,100 manatee deaths in 2021, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission data. The state had 800 manatee deaths in 2022, followed by 518 in 2023. As of March 15, 154 manatees had died this year. At least part of the spike in deaths in 2021 and 2022 was related to a lack of seagrass in areas such as the Indian River Lagoon, causing manatees to starve.

THE FOILIES: RECOGNIZING THE WORST IN GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY EVERY YEAR

Gov. Ron DeSantis tops the list of winners this year for turning Florida from one of the most transparent states to one of the least in the space of just four years

BY ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION AND MUCKROCK

We’re taught in school about checks and balances between the various branches of government, but those lessons tend to leave out the role that civilians play in holding officials accountable. We’re not just talking about the ballot box, but the everyday power we all have to demand government agencies make their records and data available to public scrutiny.

At every level of government in the United States (and often in other countries), there are laws that empower the public to file requests for public records. They go by various names — Freedom of Information, Right-to-Know, Open Records or, here in the Sunshine State, Sunshine laws — but all share the general concept that because the government is of the people, its documents belong to the people. You don’t need to be a lawyer or journalist to file these; you just have to care.

It’s easy to feel powerless in these times, as local newsrooms close and elected officials embrace disinformation as a standard political tool. But here’s what you can do, and we promise it’ll make you feel better: Pick a local agency — it could be a city council, a sheriff’s office or state department of natural resources — and send them an email demanding their public record-request log, or any other record showing what requests they receive, how long it took them to respond, whether they turned over records and how much they charged the requester for copies. Many agencies even have an online portal that makes it easier, or you can use MuckRock’s records request tool. (You can also explore other people’s results that have been published on MuckRock’s FOIA Log Explorer.) That will send the message to local leaders they’re on notice. You may even uncover an egregious pattern of ignoring or willfully violating the law.

The Foilies are our annual attempt to call out these violations each year to highlight the importance of government transparency laws.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation and MuckRock, in partnership with the Association of Alternative Newsmedia, compile the year’s worst and most ridiculous responses to public records requests and other attempts to thwart public access to information, including through increasing attempts to gut the laws guaranteeing this access — and we issue these agencies and officials tongue-in-cheek “awards” for their failures.

Sometimes, these awards actually make a difference. Last year, Mendocino County in California repealed its policy of charging illegal public records fees after local journalists and activists used The Foilies’ “The Transparency Tax Award” in their advocacy against the rule.

This year marks our 10th annual accounting of ridiculous redactions, outrageous copying fees, and retaliatory attacks on requesters — and we have some doozies for the ages.

The Failed Sunshine State Award: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

Florida’s Sunshine Law is known as one of the strongest in the nation, but Gov. Ron DeSantis spent much of 2023 working, pretty successfully, to undermine its superlative status with a slew of bills designed to weaken public transparency and journalism.

In March, DeSantis was happy to sign a bill to withhold all records related to travel done by the governor and a whole cast of characters. The law went into effect just more than a week before the governor announced his presidential bid. In addition, DeSantis has asserted his “executive privilege” to block the release of public records in a move that, according to experts like media law professor Catherine Cameron, is unprecedented in Florida’s history of transparency.

DeSantis suspended his presidential campaign in January. That may affect how many trips he’ll be taking out of state in the coming months, but it won’t undo the damage of his Sunshineslashing policies.

Multiple active lawsuits are challenging DeSantis over his handling of Sunshine Law requests. In one, the Washington Post is challenging the constitutionality of withholding the governor’s travel records. In that case, a Florida Department of Law Enforcement official last month claimed the governor had delayed the release of his travel records. Nonprofit watchdog group American Oversight filed a lawsuit in February, challenging “the unjustified and unlawful delay” in responding to requests, citing a dozen records requests to the governor’s office that have been pending for one to three years.

“It’s stunning, the amount of material that has been taken off the table from a state that many have considered to be the most transparent,” Michael Barfield, director of public access for the Florida Center for Government Accountability (FCGA), told NBC News. The FCGA is now suing the governor’s office for records on flights of migrants to Massachusetts. “We’ve quickly become one of the least transparent in the space of four years.”

The Not-So-Magic Word Award: Augusta County Sheriff’s Office

Public records laws exist in no small part because corruption, inefficiency and other malfeasance happen, regardless of the size of the government. The public’s right to hold these entities accountable through transparency can prevent waste and fraud. Of course, this kind of oversight can be very inconvenient to those who would like a bit of secrecy. Employees in Virginia’s Augusta County thought they’d found a neat trick for foiling Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act.

Consider: “NO FOIA.”

In an attempt to withhold a bunch of emails they wanted to hide from the public eye, employees in Augusta County began tagging their messages with “NO FOIA,” as an apparent incantation staff believed could ward off transparency. Of course, there are no magical words that allow officials to evade transparency laws; the laws assume all government records are public, so agencies can’t just say they don’t want records released.

Fortunately, at least one county employee thought that breaking the law must be a little more complicated than that, and this person went to Breaking Through News to blow the whistle.

Breaking Through News sent a FOIA request for those “NO FOIA” emails. The outlet received just 140 emails of the 1,212 that the county indicated were responsive, and those released records highlighted the county’s highly suspect approach to withholding public records. Among the released records were materials like the wages for the Sheriff Office employees (clearly

a public record), the overtime rates (clearly a public record) and a letter from the sheriff deriding the competitive wages being offered at other county departments (embarrassing but still clearly a public record).

Other clearly public records, according to a local court, included recordings of executive sessions that the commissioners had entered illegally, which Breaking Through News learned about through the released records. They teamed up with the Augusta Free Press to sue for access to the recordings, a suit they won last month. They still haven’t received the awarded records, and it’s possible that Augusta County will appeal. Still, it turned out that, thanks to the efforts of local journalists, their misguided attempt to conjure a culture of “No FOIA” in August County actually brought them more scrutiny and accountability.

The Poop and Pasta Award: Richlands, Virginia

In 2020, Laura Mollo of Richlands, Virginia, discovered that the county 911 center could not dispatch Richlands residents’ emergency calls: While the center dispatched all other county 911 calls, calls from Richlands had to be transferred to the Richlands Police Department to be handled. After the Richlands Town Council dismissed Mollo’s concerns, she began requesting records under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. The records showed that Richlands residents faced lengthy delays in connecting with local emergency services. On one call, a woman pleaded for help for her husband, only to be told that county dispatch couldn’t do anything — and her husband died during the delay. Other records Mollo obtained showed that Richlands appeared to be misusing its resources.

You would hope that public officials would be grateful that Mollo uncovered the town’s inadequate emergency response system and budget mismanagement. Well, not exactly: Mollo endured a campaign of intimidation and harassment for holding the government accountable. Mollo describes how her mailbox was stuffed with cow manure on one occasion, and spaghetti on another (which Mollo understood to be an insult to her husband’s Italian heritage). A town contractor harassed her at her home; police pulled her over; and Richlands officials even had a special prosecutor investigate her.

But this story has a happy ending: In November 2022, Mollo was elected to the Richlands Town Council. The records she uncovered led Richlands to change over to the county 911 center, which now dispatches Richlands residents’ calls. And in 2023, the Virginia Coalition for Open Government recognized Mollo by awarding her the Laurence E. Richardson Citizen Award for Open Government. Mollo’s recognition is well-deserved. Our communities are indebted to people like her who vindicate our right to public records, especially when they face such inexcusable harassment for their efforts.

The Error 404 Transparency Not Found Award: FOIAonline

In 2012, FOIAonline was launched with much fanfare as a way to bring federal transparency into the late 20th century. No longer would requesters have to mail or fax requests. Instead, FOIAonline was a consolidated starting point, managed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that let you file Freedom of Information Act requests with numerous federal entities from within a single digital interface.

Even better, the results of requests would be available online, meaning that if someone else asked for interesting information, it would be available to everyone, potentially reducing the number of duplicate requests. It was a good idea — but it was marred from the beginning by uneven uptake, agency infighting, and inscrutable design decisions that created endless headaches. In its latter years, FOIAonline would go down for days or weeks at a time without explanation. The portal saw agency after agency ditch the platform in favor of either homegrown solutions or third-party vendors.

Last year, the EPA announced that the grand experiment was being shuttered, leaving thousands of requesters uncertain about how and where to follow up on their open requests, and unceremoniously deleting millions of documents from public access without any indication of whether they would be made available again.

In a very on-brand twist of the knife, the decision to sunset FOIAonline was actually made two years prior, after an EPA office reported in a presentation that the service was likely to enter a “financial death spiral” of rising costs and reduced agency usage. Meanwhile, civil-society organizations such as MuckRock, the Project on Government Oversight, and the Internet Archive have worked to resuscitate and make available at least some of the documents the site used to host.

The Literary Judicial Thrashing of the Year Award: Pennridge School District

Sometimes when you’re caught breaking the law, the judge will throw the book at you. In the case of Pennridge School District in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Judge Jordan B. Yeager catapulted an entire shelf of banned books at administrators for violating the state’s Right-to-Know Law.

The case begins with Darren Laustsen, a local parent who was alarmed by a new policy to restrict access to books that deal with “sexualized content,” seemingly in lockstep with book-censorship laws happening around the country. Searching the school library’s catalog, he came across a strange trend: Certain controversial books that appeared on other challenged-book lists had been checked out for a year or more. Since students are only allowed to check out books for a week, he (correctly) suspected that library staff were checking them out themselves to block access.

So he filed a public records request for all books checked out by non-students. Now, it’s generally important for library patrons to have their privacy protected when it comes to the books they read — but it’s a different story if public employees are checking out books as part of their official duties and effectively enabling censorship. The district withheld the records, provided incomplete information, and even went so far as to return books and re-check them out under a student’s account in order to obscure the truth. And so Laustsen sued.

The judge issued a scathing and literarily robust ruling: “In short, the district altered the records that

were the subject of the request, thwarted public access to public information, and effectuated a cover-up of faculty, administrators, and other non-students’ removal of books from Pennridge High School’s library shelves.” The opinion was peppered with witty quotes from historically banned books, including Nineteen Eighty-Four, Alice in Wonderland, The Art of Racing in the Rain and To Kill a Mockingbird. After enumerating the district’s claims that later proved to be inaccurate, he cited Kurt Vonnegut’s infamous catchphrase from Slaughterhouse-Five: “So it goes.”

The Photographic Recall Award: Los Angeles Police Department

Police agencies seem to love nothing more than trumpeting an arrest with an accompanying mugshot — but when the tables are turned, and it’s the cops’ headshots being disclosed, they seem to lose their minds and all sense of the First Amendment.

This unconstitutional escapade began (and is still going) after a reporter and police watchdog published headshots of Los Angeles Police Department officers, which they lawfully obtained via a public records lawsuit. LAPD cops and their union were furious. The city then sued the reporter, Ben Camacho, and the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, demanding that they remove the headshots from the internet and return the records to LAPD.

You read that right: After a settlement in a public records lawsuit required the city to disclose the headshots, officials turned around and sued the requester for, uh, disclosing those same records, because the city claimed it accidentally released pictures of undercover cops.

But it gets worse: Last fall, a trial court denied a motion to throw out the city’s case seeking to claw back the images; Camacho and the coalition have appealed that decision and have not taken the images offline. And in February, the LAPD sought to hold Camacho and the coalition liable for damages it may face in a separate lawsuit brought against it by hundreds of police officers whose headshots were disclosed.

We’re short on space, but we’ll try explain the myriad ways in which all of the above is flagrantly unconstitutional: The First Amendment protects Camacho and the coalition’s ability to publish public records they lawfully obtained, prohibits courts from entering prior restraints that stop protected speech, and limits the LAPD’s ability to make them pay for any mistakes the city made in disclosing the headshots. Los Angeles officials should be ashamed of themselves — but their conduct shows that they apparently have no shame.

The Cops Anonymous Award: Chesterfield County Police Department

The Chesterfield County Police Department in Virginia refused to disclose the names of hundreds of police officers to a public records requester on this theory: Because the cops might at some point go undercover, the public could never learn their identities. It’s not at all dystopian to claim that a public law enforcement agency needs to have secret police!

Other police agencies throughout the state seem to deploy similar secrecy tactics, too.

The Keep Your Opinions to Yourself Award: Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita

In March 2023, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita sent a letter to medical providers across the state demanding information about the types of gender-affirming care they may provide to young Hoosiers. But this was no unbiased probe: Rokita made his position very clear when he publicly blasted these health services as “the sterilization of vulnerable children” that “could

legitimately be considered child abuse.” He made claims to the media that the clinics’ main goals weren’t to support vulnerable youth, but to rake in cash.

Yet as loud as he was about his views in the press, Rokita was suddenly tight-lipped once the nonprofit organization American Oversight filed a public records request asking for all the research, analyses and other documentation that he used to support his claims. Although his agency located 85 documents that were relevant to their request, Rokita refused to release a single page, citing a legal exception that allows him to withhold deliberative documents that are “expressions of opinion or are of a speculative nature.”

Perhaps if Rokita’s opinions on gender-affirming care weren’t based on facts, he should’ve kept those opinions and speculations to himself in the first place.

The Self-Serving Special Session Award: Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders

By design, FOIA laws exist to help the people who pay taxes hold the people who spend those taxes accountable. In Arkansas, as in many states, taxpayer money funds most government functions: daily office operations, schools, travel, dinners, security, etc. As Arkansas’ governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders has flown all over the country, accompanied by members of her family and the Arkansas State Police. For the ASP alone, the people of Arkansas paid $1.4 million in the last half of last year.

Last year, Sanders seemed to tire of the scrutiny being paid to her office and her spending. Sanders cited her family’s safe ty as she tried to shutter any attempts to see her travel records, taking the unusual step of calling a special session of the state Legislature to protect herself from the menace of transparency.

Notably, the governor had also recently been implicated in an Arkansas Freedom of Information Act case for these kinds of records.

The attempt to gut the law included a laun dry list of carve-outs unrelated to safety, such as walking back the ability of public-records plaintiffs to recover attorney’s fees when they win their case. Other attempts to scale back Arkansas’ FOIA earlier in the year had not passed, and the state attorney general’s office was already working to study what improvements could be made to the law.

The Doobie-ous Redaction Award: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Drug Enforcement Administration

Bloomberg reporters got a major scoop when they wrote about a Health and Human Services memo detailing how health officials were considering major changes to the federal restrictions on marijuana, recommending reclassifying it from a Schedule I substance to Schedule III.

Currently, the Schedule I classification for marijuana puts it in the same league as heroin and LSD, while Schedule III classification would indicate lower potential for harm and addiction along with valid medical applications.

Since Bloomberg viewed but didn’t publish the memo itself, reporters from the Cannabis Business Times filed a FOIA request to get the document into the public record. Their request was met with limited success: HHS provided a copy of the letter (from Rachel Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health at the HHS, to Anne Milgram, Administrator of the DEA), but redacted virtually the entire document besides the salutation and contact information. When pressed further by CBT reporters, the DEA and HHS would only confirm what the redacted documents had already revealed — virtually nothing. HHS handed over the full, 250-page review several months later, after a lawsuit was filed by an attorney in Texas. The crucial information the agencies had fought so hard to protect: Levine writes, “Based on my review of the evidence and the FDA’s recommendation, it is my recommendation as the Assistant Secretary for Health that marijuana should be placed in Schedule III of the CSA.”

The feds heavily redacted an email about reclassifying cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance.

The ‘Clearly Releasable,’ Clearly Nonsense Award: U.S. Air Force

Fortunately, the people of Arkansas came out to support the principle of government transparency, even as their governor decided she shouldn’t need to deal with it anymore. Over a tense few days, dozens of Arkansans lined up to testify in defense of the state FOIA and the value of holding elected officials, like Sanders, accountable to the people.

By the time the session wound down, the state Legislature had gone through multiple revisions. The sponsors walked back most of the extreme asks and added a requirement for the Arkansas State Police to provide quarterly reports on some of the governor’s travel costs. However, other details of that travel, like companions and the size of the security team, ultimately became exempt. Sanders managed to twist the whole fiasco into a win, though it would be a great surprise if the Legislature didn’t reconvene this year with some fresh attempts to take a bite out of FOIA.

While such a blatant attempt to bash public transparency is certainly a loser move, it clearly earns Sanders a win in the Foilies — and the distinction of being one of the least transparent government officials this year.

Increasingly, federal and state government agencies require public records requesters to submit their requests through online portals. It’s not uncommon for these portals to be quite lacking. For example, some portals fail to provide space to include information crucial to requests.

But the Air Force deserves special recognition for the changes it made to its submission portal, which asked requesters if they would agree to limit their requests to information that the Air Force deemed “clearly releasable.” You might think, “surely the Air Force defined this vague ‘clearly releasable’ information.” Alas, you’d be wrong: The form stated only that requesters would “agree to accept any information that will be withheld in compliance with the principles of FOIA exemptions as a full release.” In other words, the Air Force asked requesters to give up the fight over information before it even began, and to accept the Air Force’s redactions and rejections as non-negotiable.

Following criticism, the Air Force jettisoned the update to its portal to undo these changes. Moving forward, it’s “clear” that it should aim higher when it comes to transparency.

The Scrubbed Scrubs Award: Ontario Ministry of Health, Canada

Upon taking office in 2018, Ontario Premier Doug Ford was determined to shake up the Canadian province’s healthcare system. His administration has been a bit more tight-lipped, however, about the results of that invasive procedure. Under Ford, Ontario’s Ministry of Health is fighting the release of information on how understaffed the province’s medical system is, citing “economic and other interests.” The government’s own report, partially released to Global News, details high attrition as well as “chronic shortages” of nurses.

The reporters’ attempts to find out exactly how understaffed the system is, however, were met with black-bar redactions. The government claims that releasing the information would negatively impact “negotiating contracts with health-care workers.” However, the refusal to release the information hasn’t helped solve the problem; instead, it’s left the public in the dark about the extent of the issue and what it would actually cost to address it.

Global News has appealed the withholdings. That process has dragged on for over a year, but a decision is expected soon.

The Judicial Blindfold Award: Mississippi Justice Courts

Courts are usually transparent by default. People can walk in to watch hearings and trials, and can get access to court records online or at the court clerk’s office. And there are often court rules or state laws that ensure courts are public.

Apparently, the majority of Mississippi Justice Courts don’t feel like following those rules. An investigation by ProPublica and the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal found that nearly two-thirds of these county-level courts obstructed public access to basic information about law enforcement’s execution of search warrants. This blockade not only appeared to violate state rules on court access; it frustrated the public’s ability to scrutinize when police officers raid someone’s home without knocking and announcing themselves.

The good news is that the Daily Journal is pushing back. It filed suit in the justice court in Union County, Mississippi, and asked for an end to the practice of never making search-warrant materials public.

Mississippi courts are unfortunately not alone in their efforts to keep search warrant records secret. The San Bernardino Superior Court of California sought to keep secret search warrants used to engage in invasive digital surveillance, only disclosing most of them after the EFF sued.

It’s My Party and I Can Hide Records If I Want to Award: Wyoming Department of Education

Does the public really have a right to know if their tax dollars pay for a private political event?

Former Superintendent of Public Instruction Brian Schroeder and Chief Communications Officer Linda Finnerty in the Wyoming Department of Education didn’t seem to think so, according to Laramie County Judge Steven Sharpe.

Sharpe, in his order requiring disclosure of the records, wrote that the two were more concerned with “covering the agency’s tracks” and acted in “bad faith” in complying with Wyoming’s state open records law.

The lawsuit proved that Schroeder originally used public money for a “Stop the Sexualization of Our Children” event and provided misleading statements to the plaintiffs about the source of funding for the private, pro-book-banning event.

The former superintendent had also failed to provide texts and emails sent via personal devices that were related to the planning of the event, ignoring the advice of the state’s attorneys.

Instead, Schroeder decided to “shop around” for legal advice and listen to a friend, private attorney Drake Hill, who told him not to provide his cell phone for inspection.

Meanwhile, Finnerty and the Wyoming Department of Education “did not attempt to locate financial documents responsive to plaintiffs’ request, even though Finnerty knew or certainly should have known such records existed.”

Transparency won this round with the disclosure of more than 1,500 text messages and emails — and according to Sharpe, the incident established a legal precedent on Wyoming public records access.

The Fee-l the Burn Award: Baltimore Police Department

In 2020, Open Justice Baltimore sued the Baltimore Police Department over the agency’s demand that the nonprofit watchdog group pay more than $1 million to obtain copies of use-of-force investigation files.

The police department had decreased their assessment to $245,000 by the time of the lawsuit, but it rejected the nonprofit’s fee waiver, questioning the public interest in the records and where they would change the public’s understanding of the issue. The agency also claimed that fulfilling the request would be costly and burdensome for its short-staffed police department.

In 2023, Maryland’s Supreme Court issued a sizzling decision criticizing the BPD’s $245,000 fee assessment and its refusal to waive that fee in the name of public inter est. The Supreme Court found that the public interest in how the department polices itself was clear and that the depart ment should have considered how a denial of the fee waiv er would “exacerbate the public controversy” and further “the perception that BPD has something to hide.”

The Supreme Court called BPD’s fee assessment “arbitrary and capricious” and remanded the case back to the police department, which must now reconsider the fee waiver.

The attorneys filed suit in 2019 against the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In 2020, Judge William H. Orrick ruled that the agencies must respond to FOIA requests within 20 business days, and provide the court and class counsel with quarterly compliance reports. The case remains open.

With U.S. immigration courts containing a backlog of more than 2 million cases as of October of last year, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the path to citizenship is bogged down for many applicants. The failure of immigration agencies to comply with statutory deadlines for requests only makes navigating the immigration system even more challenging. There is reason for hope for applicants, however. In 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland made it federal policy to not require FOIA requests for copies of immigration proceedings, instead encouraging agencies to make records more readily accessible through other means.

Even the A-File backlog itself is improving. In the last status report, filed by the Department of Justice, they wrote that “of the approximately 119,140 new A-File requests received in the current reporting period, approximately 82,582 were completed, and approximately 81,980 were timely completed.”

The Creative Invoicing Award: Richmond Police Department

The unanimous decision from the state’s highest court did not mince its words on the cost of public records, either: “While an official custodian’s discretion in these matters is broad,” the opinion reads, “it is not boundless.”

The Continuing Failure Award: United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

Alien registration files, also commonly known as “A-Files,” contain crucial information about a non-citizen’s interaction with immigration agencies, and are central to determining eligibility for immigration benefits.

However, U.S. immigration agencies have routinely failed to release alien files within the statutory time limit for responding, according to Nightingale et al v. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services et al, a class-action lawsuit by a group of immigration attorneys and individual requesters.

OpenOversightVA requested copies of general procedures — the basic outline of how police departments run — from localities across Virginia. While many departments either publicly posted them or provided them at no charge, Richmond Police responded with a $7,873.14 invoice. That’s $52.14 an hour to spend one hour on “review, and, if necessary, redaction” on each of the department’s 151 procedures.

This Foilies “winner” was chosen because of the wide gap between how available the information should be, and the staggering cost to bring it out of the file cabinet.

As MuckRock’s agency tracking shows, this is hardly an aberration for the agency. But this estimated invoice came not long after the department’s tear-gassing of protesters in 2020 cost the city almost $700,000. At a time when other departments are opening their most basic rulebooks (in California, for example, every law enforcement agency is required to post these policy manuals online), Richmond has been caught attempting to use a simple FOIA request as a cash cow.

Orange County launches new fentanyl test strip program

Project leaders plan to distribute test strips at bars downtown and during events deemed high-risk, like music festivals

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

Orange County’s health services department is moving forward with a new initiative to help curb drug overdoses, using funds from national opioid settlements.

Hundreds of people died of drug overdose in Orange County last year alone. Most of those deaths involved fentanyl, a highly potent opioid painkiller that can be deadly for the average person if ingested in small, unregulated doses. The county’s Office for a Drug-Free Community, targeting a trend of fatal overdoses involving fentanyl, cocaine and meth, now plans to distribute fentanyl test strips, a tool that can effectively detect the presence of fentanyl in powdered drugs. The county has partnered with two organizations — Largest Heart and Project Opioid — to spearhead the effort.

Largest Heart officially launched their county-funded “Test Before You Try”program last month at the Central Florida Fair, while Project Opioid plans to begin their own distribution program, focusing on the downtown Orlando area, in the coming weeks.

Last year, a combination of fentanyl and other drugs made up roughly half of the county’s overall number of fatal drug overdoses, according to data from the Medical Examiner’s office, analyzed by UCF’s Institute for Social and Behavioral Science. Out of 466 fatal overdoses reported, 73 were attributed to fentanyl alone, while 244 were attributed to a combination of either fentanyl or another opioid with non-opioid substances like alcohol, cocaine or meth.

According to experts, most people who die from an overdose involving fentanyl and another drug are not aware that their drugs have been laced. For example, a person might buy coke, or any street drug, not knowing that it’s been cut with fentanyl. Traces of fentanyl have also been found in counterfeit pills, and in rarer instances, in marijuana.

And that’s where the danger lies. If you don’t have a tolerance for opioids built up through chronic use, ingesting just a small amount of fentanyl can be deadly.“A lot of our chronic users, their tolerance is pretty built up, so they’re not the ones that are actually overdosing and dying,” said Jamie Bridges, a licensed clinical social worker and director of Orlando Health’s opioid use program, during a public Opioid Advisory Committee meeting last month. “It’s people that are accidentally getting fentanyl when they think it’s something else.”

Dr. Thomas Hall, director of Orange County’s Office for a Drug-Free Community, told Orlando Weekly he’s heard this from local parents as well, people whose adult or minor children have overdosed. Locally, fentanyl has most frequently been found mixed into coke and meth. Hall added, however, that anyone buying pills illegally should also

be wary. “Anytime somebody buys a pill off the street, they should assume it’s more likely that it’s contaminated with fentanyl,” he said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 109,000 people died of fatal drug overdose in 2022 nationwide, with more than 70% of these deaths involving primarily fentanyl or fentanyl analogs (chemically similar substances). In Florida, drug overdose deaths slightly decreased in 2022, according to the state Department of Health, representing the first decline the state has seen since 2018.

Hall underscored the importance of raising awareness about the problem. “It really speaks to the need for us to get the word out about fentanyl test strips, and to even provide fentanyl test strips,” he said to the local opioid committee, which meets quarterly to discuss strategies for combating the opioid crisis.

Fentanyl test strips are small, unobtrusive and relatively inexpensive. It’s also no longer technically illegal to have or use them. Last year, Florida lawmakers passed a law to decriminalize fentanyl test strips, which had previously been defined under decades-old statutes as “paraphernalia.” Drug paraphernalia, as defined under state law, is illegal to possess, sell or manufacture, subject to certain penalties. Substance use experts and advocates say the strips can be life-saving.

According to Hall, a clinician with over 25 years of experience in treating substance use disorders, the county plans to use about $100,000 in funds from national opioid settlements to both purchase fentanyl test strips and fund its new distribution programs.

The test strip distribution effort is data-informed, based on county heat maps showing where overdoses are most frequently being reported and when. Many calls for suspected overdoses last year were concentrated in the downtown Orlando area, where there’s a large transient population around the Lynx Central Station transit hub. The bulk of overdose calls come in on Friday and Saturday nights, according to data from EMS Orange County Fire Rescue.

Project Opioid, one of the organizations that’s contracted with the county to distribute fentanyl test strips, plans to begin distributing fentanyl test strips outside downtown bars soon, according to Hall. The group has, in the past, also distributed Narcan, an opioid antagonist that’s capable of reversing an overdose if it’s administered soon enough.

Distribution of the test strips is expected to occur on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, once that effort kicks off. “I’m really excited to see it get off the ground,” Hall said.

SeaWorld celebrates its 60th birthday with a pair of revamps: a gentle remake of Tassie’s twin water slides, and a total makeover in new Penguin Trek

Central Florida is just now defrosting after a damp, frigid winter, and theme park fans are already buzzing about the bounty of new attractions that’s promised to blossom at the area’s top two theme park resorts this coming summer. Universal Orlando has confirmed that their DreamWorks replacement for KidZone will premiere at the Studios during the summer season, with Shrek’s moss-encrusted home and the spiderweb-covered Trollercoaster already obviously poking over the construction walls. A nighttime fountain show featuring drones and a nostalgia-driven parade including the Ghostbusters are also strongly rumored. Not to be outdone, Walt Disney World will finally open the long-awaited Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the Princess and the Frog revamp of Magic Kingdom’s Splash Mountain, this summer, as well as a free drone show of their own at Disney Springs, among other seasonal additions.

But before you skip ahead to celebrating the solstice, Disney and Universal’s oceanic alternative has a springtime harvest of major new offerings to devour. The SeaWorld family of theme parks (whose corporate parent recently blandly rebranded as “United Parks & Resorts”) turned 60 years old on March 21. In addition to offering $60 tickets on select dates and reviving their rarely-seen Shamu & Crew costumed mascots, SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica are joining in their elder San Diego sibling’s diamond soiree by debuting new rides of their own this spring, and I was recently offered the opportunity to preview them both.

Last month, I slapped on a fashionable hard hat–and–safety vest ensemble in order to walk along the under-construction track of Penguin Trek, SeaWorld Orlando’s upcoming indoor-outdoor roller coaster. This new ride recycles the building originally used for Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin, an ambitious but unsatisfying trackless dark ride that opened with much fanfare in 2013, but quietly closed in 2020.

The structure’s insides were largely stripped, and in their stead now stand a research

base-inspired queue and loading area, along with the coaster’s indoor introduction. Where Puck the CGI penguin’s colorful cave once stood (I could still see the original paint on the floor), snowmobile-styled coaster cars will soon glide past a digitally enhanced vista across the icy tundra, before turning a corner and dipping into a treacherous cavern of intricately sculpted rockwork.

Following those brief show scenes, the first of two electromagnetic launches will fling riders into the outdoors portion of adventure. The sharply banked but non-inverting track, which totals 3,020 feet, coils back and forth around itself, at one point appearing to come perilously close to the Manta flying coaster. Although advertised as a family coaster with a height requirement of only 42 inches, I wouldn’t underestimate how the course’s convoluted curlicues could cause its 43 mph maximum speed to feel far faster than it sounds on paper.

Perhaps more importantly, the fantastic (if foul-smelling) penguin exhibit that served as the finale of the old ride is still fully intact at the new attraction’s exit. Every departing rider will be

funneled past the flightless fowl, and their frigid viewing area will also be accessible to non-riders. As an added bonus, the entire Antarctica area — whose once-sparkling glaciers had gone grimy gray — is getting a much-needed makeover as well, including an expansion of the Expedition Cafe’s offerings and the addition of a walk-up bar.

While we’re yet awaiting an official opening date for Penguin Trek from SeaWorld that’s more specific than “spring,” its neighboring water park Aquatica has already sprung its new headliner on spring break guests with March 15’s opening of Tassie’s Underwater Twist. On the one hand, the “all-new” moniker in the marketing is a bit of a misnomer, since these twin WhiteWater Westbuilt slides have been around since the park opened in 2008 under the name Tassie’s Twisters. After climbing the slides’ towering stairs, pairs of guests still sit in toboggan-style inner tubes and accelerate down a dark chute into a large bowl, swirling around several times until they’re flushed down the middle and splash down into a pool adjoining the lazy river.

But what makes Tassie’s worthy of being considered not merely a new attraction, but a one-of-a-kind, is found beneath the domes that have been installed above the original bowls, emerging from video projectors that now ring the inner column. Instead of circling around a big plastic commode, riders now are completely immersed in digital sea life drawn from Australia’s iconic reefs, including whales and sharks. The real-time renders of underwater creatures are accompanied by soothing New Age-y music, reminding me pleasantly of old computer screen-savers.

I rarely swim of my own free will unless the thermometer breaks 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but I willingly took not one but two trips down Tassie’s Underwater Twist on a brisk March day just to enjoy its tranquil vibe — a phrase I never thought I’d associate with a water slide. And since it has no set height limit (as long as your kid can sit up without falling through the raft) and a higher-than-average throughput of about 500 guests per hour, I predict Tassie’s will prove an equally huge hit with families attending Aquatica this spring, and for many seasons to come.

BULL’S-EYE

Moody Mills 50 absinthe house Death in the Afternoon hits the spot

BY FAIYAZ KARA

Ernest Hemingway and bullfighting go hand in hand like, oh, Ernest Hemingway and drinking. So the fact that there’s a bar named after Papa’s book on the subject — bullfighting, not drinking — is hardly a surprise. But Death in the Afternoon, the book, certainly has its fair share of dipsomaniacal characters, as does Death in the Afternoon, the bar. The primary culprit in both is absinthe, that much-maligned spirit falsely accused of everything from hallucinations to murder. No, if there’s any slaying going on inside this moody Mills 50 booze den, it’s at the hands of owner-bartenders Arthur Boothe and Julian Burgos, who kill it with their cocktail game, and chef Eric Norvelus, who executes with aplomb.

Goading and coercing my wife and then, on a separate occasion, my reluctant pal into this dimly lit lair of crapulence had me feeling a bit like the legendary literary brute.

“You know, I was born beneath the snows of Kilimanjaro,” I declared to the missus, “and I cut my journalistic teeth at the Toronto Star, just like Hemingway did.”

“Shut up and open the door.”

And with that economical, Hemingway-like utterance, we took our seats in the corner of the patina-textured space, then conversed of the Lost Generation (both old and new), real estate, the social safety net and debt — heavy topics we

washed down with spirited absinthe-forward quaffs including the French Pearl ($12) and, of course, the namesake Death in the Afternoon ($15). The latter was allegedly contrived by Hemingway and some sailor buddies, but the bar’s version makes the potable a lot more palatable by adding raspberry syrup and lemon to a flute containing a jigger of absinthe and sparkling wine. “Drink 3 to 5 of these slowly,” says the original recipe in a 1935 book of literary cocktails titled Breath in the Afternoon. “After 6 of these cocktails, The Sun Also Rises.”

As bold and refreshing as it was, I only downed one before laying eyes on Norvelus’ gnocchi in a garlic cream sauce served with P.E.I. mussels ($18). Impressive, and not a dish I expected to be enjoying in a Spanish-leaning absinthe bar of all places. Jamon pastries ($14), however, fit in perfectly. The brie-and-spinachfilled puffs may have been a bit light on the jamon, but the pastelito-like pockets were polished off in mere minutes nonetheless. Octopus braised in fennel and smoked pimentón ($17) came lightly charred and topped with a mound of seasoned black lentils — an ideal accompaniment. Dollops of paprika aioli and roasted red pepper romesco framed the plate.

Norvelus has come into his own after stints at Primo, Santiago’s Bodega and as sous chef at the Monroe under the tutelage of chef Nikk

DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON

930 N. Mills Ave. no phone instagram.com/death.in.the.afternoon_ $$$

Burton, who reportedly was “sad to see him go.” I was sad to see the pork belly ($12), served atop a molé made from smoky pasilla chilies crunched with pepitas, go. It went fast, as did the 23-day aged New York strip ($20). The three slices, amounting to six ounces, came glossed in an absinthe compound butter. Something tells me Hemingway would’ve loved it, except for the part where it was just six ounces.

Hemingway loved a good burger too, but he was partial to one he made with Heinz India Relish, capers, parsley, sage, Spice Islands Beau Monde seasoning and Spice Islands Mei Yen Pepper. The chorizo burger here ($16) is nothing like that. The spiced 80/20 pork/beef sausage is smashed and layered with peach jam, Manchego cheese and arugula between a brioche bun from Olde Hearth. Accompanying frites, much like everything else we sampled here, were impeccable. The lone fail came with the beignets ($8). The cream-filled cappers dusted with nutmeg and cinnamon are baked, not deep-fried, and took on the texture of stale dinner rolls. You’re better off going with the fluffy Basque cheesecake ($10), which we ultimately couldn’t finish. We took it, along with half the chorizo smashburger, home with us. For a place paying homage to Ernest Hemingway, after all, “a moveable feast” is practically a given.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

Danny Forester of Weak and Framework Coffee is a DIY true believer

BY IDA V. ESKAMANI

It is a balmy Friday afternoon, and Orlando Weekly is sitting outside Framework Craft Coffee House with shop owner Danny Forester, who is coaching a member of his team how to use the chai grinder.

We barely understand what’s being said, but still appreciate the expertise. It’s a reminder at the top of our conversation of the community that, against all odds, Forester and his friends created. Danny Forester is a DIY true believer.

It’s a mentality Forester holds that’s rooted in the necessity to survive and the pride found in surviving. Born in Brooklyn and educated in Orange County, Forester grew up with little in the way of financial means. The only option he had was to do it himself.

“Growing up in a poor neighborhood, with a family that didn’t have much, I had to make it on my own at 17,” Forester says. “It all kind of came down to survival … but I always needed to do something more, even as a kid. My first job was making little pastries for my parents’ co-workers, it was called Danny Does Desserts.”

Growing up without financial means, Forester obviously didn’t have access to craft coffee. He

remembers the precise moment when he tasted good coffee for the first time in his early 20s, while working at a coffee house in Winter Park. “I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t really like black coffee.’ But what you don’t realize is that you just don’t like bad coffee.”

It was while on the road in a touring band that Forester was inspired to make the leap and open Framework. “I had been in a band that had traveled a little bit. So I was able to see all these other coffee shops that were doing these really cool things. And I was just like, ‘Why is Orlando missing this?’ I really, really wanted to do that, here specifically.”

Forester launched what would become Framework out of his and his roommates’ garage. He didn’t have a car, but he had talent, TV trays, mason jars, kitchen spoons and friends who believed in him. And thus Framework began, popping up at events all over town.

Framework has a “pay what you can” system in terms of beverage pricing. In that way, Forester hopes to ensure more people like him can experience the joy and inspiration he found in coffee years ago.

In addition to the brick-and-mortar headquarters on Mills, Framework still pops up, having upgraded from TV trays to a camper you can find at various community events.

Aside from being “just” a coffee shop by day, Framework is a bustling DIY venue by night, The shop has become the de facto headquarters of Orlando indie bookers Ugly Orange as well as regularly providing a stage (well, floor) for Orlando’s next-wavers. And it even hosted a night of Palestinian cinema earlier this month.

“We just need more DIY venues in Orlando,” explains Forester, “especially after losing places like Spacebar, The Space, Cloud 9.”

Most germane for this section of OW is the news that Weak — a punk band that Forester fronts — has finally dropped the second side of their Life, Death and Foxes full-length online. It’s a free listen on Bandcamp and major streaming platforms.

Though a relatively young project, the bandmates have a long history. “I hit up my old bandmates from the early 2000s that I played with. We kind of just decided to bring the band back and do it.”

Those bandmates, who moonlight in projects as diverse as Audible Parts and Like Father — Kyle Hoffer on guitar, Steven Parsons also on guitar, Jack Bramuchi on drums, and polymath Preston Hardwick on bass — whip up a storm of hardcore fury roughly collaged with ferocious technical breakdowns. All forward motion and savage focus.

Some of the songs on Life, Death and Foxes, described aptly by Forester as “chaos-punk, dissonance and loudness,” have been years in the making, while some are brand-new and of the moment.

Weak’s lyrics are often rooted in politics, as is the band’s overall modus operandi, including throwing shows like “Punk for a Purpose,” a benefit for the Florida chapter of the National Organization for Women. Indeed, next on the docket for the band, besides a cassette-release show, is putting together another Punk for a Purpose gig.

Throughout our conversation, Forester shares immense gratitude to the community in Orlando he considers family, and his commitment to give back and grow that community — a crew of passionate creatives who are all paving their own way against all odds, making it work and molding our town’s scrappy spirit.

“I think you have a love for it more when it’s something that you built,” says Forester. “I painted these walls and they ain’t great … but you built this, and it’s yours.” music@orlandoweekly.com

TAKING IN A SHOW

My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Adult. and Kanga at the Abbey (March 22): OK, so, yes, the increasing voraciousness of the nostalgia-industrial complex is more than a little disconcerting. But hear us out, sometimes you can go home again. And that point was more than borne out during Friday’s My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult’s “Evil Eye” tour stop at the Abbey in Orlando.

Billed as an evening of TKK playing “classic” material from 1987-1997, the show was a can’t-miss proposition for acolytes new and old of this seminal Chicago electro-industrial act. During their height, none of their industrial peers (Ministry, Front 242, KMFDM, etc.) were as pervy, queer, Satan-adjacent, sinister, ecstatic and druggy as this musical party-on-wheels. Would they still have that diabolical verve decades later? Yup.

First up, though, openers Kanga and Adult.

their path with a primal, wracked throb. We’ve seen them a handful of times before and they’ve never sounded better or more urgent.

Thrill Kill took the stage wrapped in leather and shades, with a bad-acid trip of a backdrop behind them. The setlist was, indeed, their wildest and weirdest — including “A Daisy Chain 4 Satan,” “Sex on Wheelz” and “‘Cuz It’s Hot” — and they delivered the goods with lustful, sweaty vigor. The sold-out crowd was losing their collective minds, and a five-song encore culminating in “Kooler Than Jesus” saw band and audience alike elated and utterly spent.

Who wants a cigarette?

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK

Twin Tribes: Last time Twin Tribes, the postpunk duo of Joel Niño, Jr. and Luis Navarro, played Orlando was Halloween night (suitable!) in front of a sold-out and costumed crowd at the Abbey. It was madness. This time around the band are playing Conduit in the company of the equally heatseeking Urban Heat. (And we’re shocked this show is not currency sold out.)

Twin Tribes have a new album out, Pendulums, that continues their catchy streak of minimalist gothic groovers made up of the tried-and-true: metronomic percussion, shards of icy guitar and synth, and Andrew Eldritch-style vocals. There’s some snobbery directed toward Twin Tribes from the snob-adjacent segment of the gothoverse, and maybe, just maybe, we were heading down that path, but their Halloween show changed all that. Plus, the Texan duo are making gothic music less lily-white, and you know we’re into that. Plus, plus, “Fantasmas” is a stone-cold jam. (7 p.m. Friday, March 29, Conduit, $20)

This Little Underground mastermind Bao Le-Huu is on a much-deserved vacation this week. So you’re stuck with this hack. Sorry in advance

held their own even when faced with a decidedly partisan audience. Solo project Kanga did it by impressing with smoldering dark electro-pop and a serpentine stage presence. (Folks who fiddled with their phones during her set will be breathlessly bragging about how they saw her “back when” a year or two from now.)

Motor City duo Adult. brought total Detroit sturm und drang, just flattening everything in

Otoboke Beaver: Last year, Japanese quartet Otoboke Beaver ramrodded the Social full of (mostly very young and enthusiastic) fans and proceeded to nearly blow the walls off the joint. This time, it’s the Beacham, so expect everything to be bigger and louder and maybe even more unhinged. The day-glo J-punk ragers made their reputation on 2022 album Super Champion, hewing to a hardcore running time of around 20 minutes, but fitting 18 songs on that slab of wax. Performances see the band in full ferocious force, with the audience giving back energy to match. And The Pauses open again, so let’s hear it for the home team! (6 p.m. Saturday, March 30, The Beacham, $29)

Artillery: These Danish thrash true believers are celebrating 40 years of power chords and distortion pedals with, what else!, a U.S. tour. With a (dark) princely two Florida dates — Tampa and Orlando — this is a rare chance to see an essential underground force. Don’t believe us? Jam the Terror Squad album and then apply ice to your neck because you have in fact injured yourself headbanging. (7 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, Conduit, $20)

Waterparks

Orlando has its fair share of waterparks, but there was one missing … Waterparks (the band) has returned to Orlando. The pop-punk group behind “I Miss Having Sex but At Least I Don’t Wanna Die Anymore” and “Turbulent” are making a stop (well, two) to visit the City Beautiful on their tour. Leading the group is frontman Awsten Knight, supported by drummer Otto Wood

and lead guitarist Geo Wigington. The group has been making music and building a solid fanbase for 12 years, including a fervent following in Orlando that filled Park Ave CDs to the brim during a meet-and-greet and in-store performance for the release of their record Greatest Hits. At this, the second of a two-night stand at the House of Blues, the band is set to perform songs from their past five albums and maybe a cover or two. Waterparks’ concerts are known for being high-energy with crowd-surfing and mosh pits — let’s see if this

Disney Springs venue lets that happen. Loveless, an alternative rock duo from Los Angeles, and Pollyanna, an Australian indie band, open the show. 6 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, houseofblues.com/orlando, $35-$85. — Alexandra Sullivan

THURSDAY, MARCH 28

Faye Webster

Now and then, a musician worth writing down will come to Orlando, and you’ll want to be sure to remember their name. So grab a pen and paper, because Faye Webster is coming to the House of Blues on Thursday. The Atlantabased singer-songwriter’s career has taken o over the past year, during which she has netted more than 7 million monthly listeners on Spotify and seen millions of TikTok users make videos up and down her discography. Webster released her fifth studio album, Underdressed at the Symphony, earlier this year to an avalanche of online praise. You may recognize her indie rock-twang from popular singles like “Kingston,” “I Know You” and “Right Side of My Neck.” Webster’s unique sound pairs perfectly with her unique personality. She uses lighthearted humor — and sometimes Pokemon and yo-yos — to complement her music and make herself stand out. Tickets to see the symphony-loving and spunky Webster at the House of Blues are unfortunately sold out, but you may yet get lucky and see her in your “lifetime.” 7 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, houseofblues.com/ orlando, SOLD OUT. — AS

SATURDAY, MARCH 30

Holi Festival

The Hindu festival of colors, also known as Holi, is celebrated every spring in honor of the triumph of good over evil with a vibrant gathering, and the annual Orlando Holi Festival upholds that tradition with particular verve. Taking over Festival Park for another year, attendees toss colored powder and water at each other while dancing (or not, your choice) as DJs spin Bollywood music and traditional songs. There will also be live performances from Terry Gajraj, Raj Kimar and

Shoubka Singh, among others. Food vendors will be on site with plenty of Indian (and more) cuisine. 11 a.m., Festival Park, 2911 E. Robinson St., indianhorizonfl.com, $15-$20. — Matthew Moyer

Found Footage Festival

Found Footage Festival, the duo of comedy writers Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher, return to Florida after a too-long absence — and they wanna show you a tape or two. Operating in somewhat the same trash-fromtreasure, pop-culture film tarpit as Everything Is Terrible (but with less of a costume element), the FFF twosome present a freewheeling reel of frankly unbelievable (but all true) findings from the golden age of VHS madness. The two have spent years building up a personal archive of 13,000 VHS tapes scored from endless thrift-store expeditions. Expect PSAs gone wrong, zero-budget straight-to-VHS rental nightmares and inept publicaccess programming aplenty, punctuated by sarcastic Ghoulardi-esque asides from Pickett and Prueher. It’s a skewed and hilarious program. 7 p.m., West End Trading Co., 202 S. Sanford Ave., Sanford, drinkatwestend.com, $20-$23. — MM

The Descendents

Everything old can be made new, especially when it comes to evergreen punk legends the Descendents. The band is bringing their new tour to the House of Blues Sunday. The Descendents, composed of Milo

Thursday: Faye Webster at House of Blues

PHOTO BY MICHAEL TYRONE DELANEY

Aukerman (vocals), Karl Alvarez (bass), Bill Stevenson (drums) and Stephen Egerton (guitar), formed in 1977 over their shared love for “fishing, girls and velocity” — and, of course, copious amounts of co ee. After playing shows on and o for more than four decades, the Descendents are now back on the road accompanied by Circle Jerks and Adolescents. The 22-stop North American leg of the tour comes after the 2021 release of their latest album, 9th and Walnut. The Descendents’ proto pop-punk sound has given the underground a wealth of jittery hardcore ballads about heartbreak, friendship, the di culties of growing up and more — then-rare vulnerability that was seismically game-changing for the genre. Despite not releasing new music in three years, this Descendents tour is expected to sell out. So get ca einated and make your purchase. 6:30 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista, houseofblues. com, $35.25-$85.25. — AS

DRAWN BY KIERAN CASTAÑO

BY ROB BREZSNY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the coming days, your hunger will be so inexhaustible that you may feel driven to devour extravagant amounts of food and drink. It’s possible you will gain 10 pounds in a very short time. Who knows? You might even enter an extreme eating contest and devour 46 dozen oysters in 10 minutes. APRIL FOOL! Although what I just said is remotely plausible, I foresee that you will sublimate your exorbitant hunger. You will realize it is spiritual in nature and can’t be gratified by eating food. As you explore your voracious longings, you will hopefully discover a half-hidden psychological need you have been suppressing. And then you will liberate that need and feed it what it craves!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus novelist Lionel Shriver writes, “There’s a freedom in apathy, a wild, dizzying liberation on which you can almost get drunk.” In accordance with astrological omens, I recommend you experiment with Shriver’s strategy in the coming weeks. APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, Lionel Shriver’s comment is one of the dumbest thoughts I have ever heard. Why would anyone want the cheap, damaged liberation that comes from feeling indi erent, numb and passionless? Please do all you can to disrupt and dissolve any attraction you may have to that state, Taurus. In my opinion, you now have a sacred duty to cultivate extra helpings of enthusiasm, zeal, liveliness and ambition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): At enormous cost and after years of study, I have finally figured out the meaning of life, at least as it applies to you Geminis. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to reveal it to you unless you send me $1,000 and a case of Veuve Clicquot champagne. I’ve got to recoup my investment, right? APRIL FOOL! Most of what I just said was a dirty lie. It’s true that I have worked hard to uncover the meaning of life for you Geminis. But I haven’t found it yet. And even if I did, I would of course provide it to you for free. Luckily, you are now in a prime position to make dramatic progress in deciphering the meaning of life for yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): For a limited time only, you have permission from the cosmos to be a wildly charismatic egomaniac who brags incessantly and insists on getting your selfish needs met at all times and in all places. Please feel free to have maximum amounts of narcissistic fun, Cancerian. APRIL FOOL! I was exaggerating a bit, hoping to o er you medicinal encouragement so you will stop being so damn humble and self-e acing all the time. But the truth is, now is indeed an excellent time to assert your authority, expand your clout, and flaunt your potency and sovereignty.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Michael Scott was a character in the TV sitcom The O ce, the boss of a paper company. Played by Leo actor Steve Carell, he was notoriously self-centered and obnoxious. However, there was one famous scene I will urge you to emulate. He was asked if he would rather be feared or loved. He replied, “Um, easy: both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.” Be like Michael Scott, Leo. APRIL FOOL! I was half-kidding. It’s true I’m quite excited by the likelihood that you will receive floods of love in the coming weeks. It’s also true that I think you should do everything possible to boost this likelihood. But I would rather that people be amazed and pleased at how much they love you, not afraid.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Now would be an excellent time for you to snag a Sugar Daddy or Sugar Momma or Sugar Nonbinary Nurturer. The astrological omens are telling me that life is expanding its willingness and capacity to provide you with help, support and maybe even extra cash. I dare you to dangle yourself as bait and sell your soul to the highest bidder.

APRIL FOOL! I was half-kidding. While I do believe it’s prime time to ask for and receive more help, support and extra cash, I don’t believe you will have to sell your soul to get any of it. Just be yourself!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Happy Unbirthday, Libra! It’s that time halfway between your last birthday and your next. Here are the presents I plan to give you: a boost in your receptivity to be loved and needed; a constructive relationship with obsession; more power to accomplish the half-right thing when it’s hard to do the totally right thing; the disposal of 85 percent of the psychic trash left over from the time between 2018 and 2023; and a provocative new invitation to transcend an outworn old taboo. APRIL FOOL! The truth is, I can’t possibly supply every one of you with these fine o erings, so please bestow them on yourself. Luckily, the cosmic currents will conspire with you to make these things happen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Now would be an excellent time to seek liposuction, a facelift, Botox, buttocks augmentation or hair transplants. Cosmic rhythms will be on your side if you change how you look. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was a lie. I’ve got nothing against cosmetic surgery, but now is not the right time to alter your appearance. Here’s the correct oracle: Shed your disguises, stop hiding anything about who you really are, and show how proud you are of your idiosyncrasies.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I command you to love Jesus and Buddha! If you don’t, you will burn in Hell! APRIL FOOL! I was just kidding. I was being sensationalistic to grab your attention. Here’s my real, true oracle for you: Love everybody, including Jesus and Buddha. And I mean love them all twice as strong and wild and tender. The cosmic powers ask it of you! The health of your immortal soul depends on it! Yes, Sagittarius, for your own selfish sake, you need to pour out more adoration and care and compassion than you ever have before. I’m not exaggerating! Be a lavish Fountain of Love!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you gave me permission, I would cast a spell to arouse in you a case of ergophobia, i.e., an aversion to work. I think you need to take a sweet sabbatical from doing business as usual. APRIL FOOL! I was just joking about casting a spell on you. But I do wish you would indulge in a lazy, do-nothing retreat. If you want your ambitions to thrive later, you will be wise to enjoy a brief period of delightful emptiness and relaxing dormancy. As Buddhist teacher Sylvia Boorstein recommends, “Don’t just do something! Sit there!”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you get the book Brain Surgery for Beginners by Steven Parker and David West. You now have the power to learn and even master complex new skills, and this would be a excellent place to start. APRIL FOOL! I was half-kidding. I don’t really think you should take a scalpel to the gray matter of your friends and family members — or yourself, for that matter. But I am quite certain that you currently have an enhanced power to learn and even master new skills. It’s time to raise your educational ambitions to a higher octave. Find out what lessons and training you need most, then make plans to get them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In the religious beliefs of Louisiana Voodoo, one God presides over the universe but never meddles in the details of life. There are also many spirits who are always intervening and tinkering, intimately involved in the daily rhythm. They might do nice things for people, or play tricks on them — or anything and everything in between. In alignment with current astrological omens, I urge you to convert to the Louisiana Voodoo religion and try ingenious strategies to get the spirits to do your bidding. APRIL FOOL! I don’t really think you should convert. However, I believe it would be fun and righteous for you to proceed as if spirits are everywhere — and assume that you have the power to harness them to work on your behalf.

Meet Macy Lou!

Macy Lou (A492173) is a sweet 2-year-old who was abandoned by her owner behind a hotel. She has been at the shelter now for almost a month, and she was recently featured in a news segment for rescue dogs. Macy Lou is good with other dogs and absolutely loves people. Macy Lou doesn’t jump around like a puppy. She prefers the quiet of an office and the softness of our couch.
