¶ Losing health insurance in a pandemic I recently read your article ”Pandemic job loss means more than 14 million have lost employer-sponsored health insurance at the worst possible time” (Oct. 8). I think that losing health insurance is one of the last things people consider as they get laid off, but as the article states this can lead to all new problems when an unemployed person gets COVID. A couple of my friends and relatives have gotten laid off and when we talked about it we discussed the loss of pay and uncertainty of the future, but not what might happen if they need to go to the doctor. This is also a very uncertain time not only because of the virus but also because so many changes in our government are happening. Who can say what we will be dealing with soon. Changes in government are one of the many reasons why people should take the time to contact their representatives and let them know what changes they want. I am currently a part of an organization called the Borgen Project (borgenproject.org) and they have an amazing platform for people to contact the government for specific bills, all of which will help the American economy.

‘DROP IT LIKE IT’S HOT’

¶ Our crumbling roads and bridges Our nation’s infrastructure is crumbling. The American Society of Civil Engineers conferred a grade of D+ in their 2017 Infrastructure Report Card, which is published in the United States every four years. President Trump promised on July 21, 2016, “We will build the roads, highways, bridges, tunnels, airports and railways of tomorrow.” Unfortunately, instead of advancing an infrastructure bill of any kind, he pushed through a tax cut which benefits the top 1% of wealthy Americans – so I expect that the 2021 ASCE report will again give the United States a failing grade. As a civil engineer, I understand that the longer repairs are delayed, the more costly and difficult it becomes to execute them. Former Vice President Joe Biden has an aggressive plan to build “a modern, sustainable infrastructure and an equitable clean energy future.” That’s one of the many reasons why I support Joe Biden for President of the United States.

SEN. MIKE LEE, R-UTAH | PHOTO BY GAGE SKIDMORE

TYRANNY OF THE MINORITY, PART 2

‘A republic, not a democracy,’ and other lies that serve the status quo BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N

As a rule, whenever you hear someone

confidently (and usually condescendingly) assert that America is “a republic, not a democracy,” know that you’re dealing with either a textbook example of the DunningKruger effect or a disingenuous pedant. Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s Twitter comment, midway through the Oct. 7 vice-presidential debate, that “We’re not a democracy,” likely falls into the latter camp. His attempt at cleanup early the next morning probably sounded better in the original German: “Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity [sic] are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.” Lee is said to be a 2024 presidential aspirant. He’s also said to be one of the sharper minds in the GOP Senate. I’m disinclined to assume that he’s firing off freshmanlevel Deep Thoughts based on a Wikipedia skim or a Dinesh D’Souza documentary. This isn’t ignorance. It’s more perverse than that. To be clear, I don’t think Lee is suggesting we start practicing our goose-stepping. In his mind, this isn’t about fascism versus democracy. This is about freedom versus democracy, which he thinks are irreconcilable. Lee and a not-insignificant proportion of the Republican Party believe that too much voting – or the wrong kind of voting – infringes on their inalienable right to impose their worldview on

the rest of us. Phrased less generously, democracy threatens a comfortable, privileged status quo. OK, I’ll put it bluntly: They matter more than you. Their votes should matter more than yours. Since we’re here, let’s dispense with it: The “republic, not a democracy” trope is rooted in a superficial understanding of America’s founding. Yes, the framers distrusted “democracy,” by which they meant Athenian democracy – a plebiscite – not a democratic government. Just read James Madison’s Federalist No. 10: “From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. … A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect, and promises the cure for which we are seeking.” Counter-majoritarian institutions such as the Senate, the Supreme Court and the presidential veto existed not to overrule the majority, but to protect minorities from oppression. See Thomas Jefferson’s 1801 inaugural address: “All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to

violate would be oppression.” Yet, as we discussed last time, ours is a system in which the majority’s will does not prevail. Quite the opposite. A strategic, oppositional and radicalized GOP has turned the constitutional system against itself, shattering norms and using maximalist tactics to cling to power despite its diminishing popularity and looming demographic apocalypse. On Thursday, the Senate Judiciary Committee will, on a party-line vote, send the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the floor, where Senate Republicans will rush it to the finish line ahead of the Nov. 3 election, ensuring a far-right 6-3 Supreme Court majority for a generation. Never mind that five of those justices were appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote. Never mind that the last three will have been confirmed by a Republican Senate majority that represents a mere 45% of the population. A week or so later, the Republican president will probably try to cheat his way to re-election. That’s not hyperbole. All over the country – North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Wisconsin – the Trump campaign and its sycophants are waging legal battles to prevent absentee ballots from being counted amid a pandemic, while the president makes reckless, baseless, wild-ass accusations of widespread fraud on the daily. The stated goal – as in, they’ve said this out loud – is for President Trump to insist that the millions of ballots counted after Election Day are fraudulent, sue, and have the courts declare him the victor. That’s not an election strategy. That’s a coup. In Trump’s best-case (and most legitimate) scenario, he again cobbles together a bare electoral majority while losing the popular vote by three or four points, hardly a show of strength. Meanwhile, according to the FiveThirtyEight forecast, Republicans have a 27% chance of maintaining control of the Senate – a majority that would continue representing millions fewer Americans than the “minority.” They have almost no chance of reclaiming the House, but the GOP wants to game that system, too. The administration prematurely pulled the plug on the decennial census, meaning areas with immigrants and poor people – i.e., Democrats – will have less congressional and legislative representation. Let’s acknowledge this for what it is. This isn’t about a principled (if esoteric) stand for republican liberty in the face of democratic oppression. This is about power in its rawest, purest form. This is about people accustomed to status and privilege using every lever at their disposal – some legal, others illegal only if the judges they appoint say so – to maintain that status and privilege in perpetuity. But ruthlessness cuts both ways. Mitch McConnell is putting Coney Barrett on the Court because he can, just like kept Merrick Garland off the Court because he could. He has power, and he’s using it. If come Jan. 20, Democrats control Washington, D.C., they’d be fools not to do the same: eliminate the filibuster, make D.C. and Puerto Rico states, add seats to the Supreme Court, and expand and protect voting rights. Make our democracy more democratic – then pass a sweeping agenda and have voters judge you on the results. There’s nothing stopping them. Nothing, that is, except nostalgia for an era that is never coming back.

DROP EVERYTHING DeSantis tells Florida elections officials ballot drop boxes must be guarded, in ‘pathetic’ last-minute attempt to slow early votes BY DARA KA M, N SF

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ adminis-

tration is telling county elections supervisors that ballot collection boxes outside early voting sites have to be staffed, but the local officials’ attorney said Florida law doesn’t include any such requirement. Department of State General Counsel Brad McVay sent an email to supervisors last Wednesday – just days before the vast majority of the state’s 67 counties began early voting Monday, Oct. 19 – that he said was aimed at answering questions raised by local officials about drop boxes. According to McVay’s interpretation of state law and a rule, drop boxes have to be manned by an elections official or an armed law enforcement officer at all times. “This requirement serves a necessary purpose,” he wrote. “The statute requires that drop boxes remain secure from those who intend to do harm to the boxes (or the 14

contents within them). A person onsite can prevent foreign substances or small incendiary devices (like firecrackers) from being thrown into the drop box; video monitoring cannot do the same.” But Ron Labasky, general counsel of the Florida Supervisors of Elections association, told his clients state law doesn’t require the drop boxes to be monitored in person. “Drop boxes that are at the main office, a branch office or early voting site are required to be secure, but I don’t see that there is any staffing requirement or hours of operation related to those drop boxes, per (a section of state law),” Labasky wrote in an email to supervisors last Thursday. “There is no definition of secure, so in my view that is within the discretion of the supervisor.” Drop boxes are among myriad elec-

tions-related controversies in Florida, a battleground state whose 29 electoral votes are considered crucial for a White House win in the Nov. 3 election. Recent polls have shown President Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden in a neck-and-neck race in the Sunshine State. With supervisors encouraging Floridians to vote by mail because of the coronavirus pandemic, the number of mail-in ballots has exploded. Due to uncertainty about the U.S. postal system, many voters are choosing to drop off their ballots rather than risk having them delivered too late to count. Florida mail-in ballots must be received by 7 p.m. Election Day to be counted. According to McVay, supervisors are allowed to place the boxes outside buildings, but they “must be properly staffed and secure” at all times. Supervisors’ employees and sworn law enforcement officers may be used to monitor discretionary drop boxes, but volunteers are not permitted, McVay said. A rule finalized by Secretary of State Laurel Lee in April, highlighted by McVay in last Wednesday’s message, said that secure drop boxes “must be clearly labeled, sealed and placed in an area where a designated election board member maintains custody and control of the drop box at all times.” But Labasky said “there is no mention of those requirements” in state elections law. “This is a letter, not a formal advisory opinion and not a ‘directive,’ which as Judge Walker last week noted the secretary (of state) have little or no authority to issue, based on her own stated legal position,” Labasky wrote, referring to U.S. District Judge Mark Walker’s comments during an unrelated elections lawsuit. “As the letter states, it’s the department’s interpretation of the law. As such I think a supervisor can take it as they choose to.” County elections officials – some of whom are relying on volunteers to monitor drop boxes – will use their discretion about whether to have live monitors. “Supervisors have evaluated the security of drop boxes located at their offices or early voting sites, which may not require a person observing or monitoring the box at all times,” Labasky told the News Service of Florida last Friday. Democrats decried the move by Lee’s office, accusing DeSantis – an ally of Trump – of meddling in the middle of an election. “Any and all efforts to make it more difficult for Floridians to vote should be called out for what they are: voter suppression,” Jackie Lee, Biden’s Florida campaign director, said in a prepared statement.

Nearly 2.3 million Floridians had voted by mail as of the morning of Oct. 16, and drop boxes already are in use, Jackie Lee pointed out. “Non-binding, last-minute guidance from the state just causes confusion. Floridians should just keep doing what they are doing: voting, undistracted by these efforts. Our campaign will remain focused on ensuring that every single eligible Floridian is able to easily and conveniently cast their ballot,” she said. State law allows voters to place voteby-mail ballots in a “secure drop box” located at supervisors of elections’ main and branch offices and at early voting sites. In addition to their own offices, the law allows supervisors to use public libraries, courthouses, civic centers, stadiums, fairgrounds, county commission buildings and government-owned senior centers or community centers as early voting sites. “Secure drop boxes may also be placed at any other site that would otherwise qualify as an early voting site … provided, however, that any such site must be staffed during the county’s early voting hours of operation by an employee of the supervisor’s office or a sworn law enforcement officer,” the law says. In response to a question about whether workers can be “deputized” to monitor discretionary drop boxes, McVay wrote that supervisors must make sure that “your relationship with the person makes that person ‘an employee of your office.’” Only “an actual person onsite can help prevent ballots from being spoiled or destroyed,” McVay wrote. “Bottom line: An employee or law enforcement officer physically present at the drop box locations can help protect the integrity of the drop boxes (and their contents) while also helping people who intend to use the drop boxes to vote,” he wrote. McVay also said drop boxes cannot be used 24 hours a day at “discretionary” sites, and must be staffed around-theclock if used at supervisors of elections’ offices. Some supervisors said last Friday they will continue to employ 24-hour drop boxes, despite McVay’s admonitions. The move to restrict drop boxes by the Republican governor’s administration drew fire on social media. “The Republican war on ballot drop boxes continues. What a shameful and pathetic party the GOP has become,” Marc Elias, an attorney who frequently represents Democrats in elections-related lawsuits, said on Twitter. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

Orlando Weekly’s 2020 The Official Sources General Election Guide is Voting by Mail a roundup of voting options and strategies for the November election.

The Important Dates Early Voting Deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot: 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24 Early Voting: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, through Sunday, Nov. 1 Election Day, your last day to vote: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3 At 7 p.m. on Election Day, no more ballots are accepted locally. Postmarks do not count.

Polling locations and rules can change; check your county’s elections website. Our Ballot Guide this year covers only Orange County, but the supervisor of elections websites in Seminole, Osceola, Volusia, Lake and Sumter counties are the best places to answer specific voting questions, as is the state elections website: dos.myflorida.com/elections. The Orange County Supervisor of Elections is located at 119 W. Kaley St., and their phone number is 407-836-2070. You can request or drop off a ballot there in person.

You do not need to be traveling or have another reason to request a ballot in the mail. 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, is the deadline to request a vote-by-mail (VBM) ballot be sent to you. Or you can pick one up at the Supervisor of Elections office, 119 W. Kaley St. There are a few ways to return your ballot, but it must be returned no later than 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Return it right away. Do not wait to return your ballot. If you lose it, go early vote, starting on Monday, Oct. 19. You can get a new ballot and vote in person. The USPS recommends returning your mail-in ballot no later than Tuesday, Oct. 27, a week before election day. In Orange County, the postage is pre-paid – no stamps are required. If you forget to include the secrecy sleeve, your ballot will still count. If the thought of sending your ballot through the mail freaks you out, you can place it in a secure dropbox. They are located at the SOE office on Kaley Street, and at all 20 Orange County early voting locations during voting hours. Voters can track vote-by-mail ballots with their county supervisor of elections. In Orange County, check here: ocfelections.com/track-myvote-mail-ballot. You can see when you requested a ballot, when it was sent to you, and when it was received and counted. You can also see if there was a problem, like a signature mismatch. You have until 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, to notice if your vote wasn’t counted and “cure” your ballot or resolve the issue.

Find out where to vote early in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Volusia and Lake counties on each county’s supervisor of elections site. Early voting takes place Monday, Oct. 19, through Sunday, Nov. 1. Voting in this year’s general election began in early October for many Floridians, when vote-by-mail ballots landed in thousands of mailboxes. On Monday, Oct. 19, Central Floridians will begin visiting polling locations when early voting starts. You can vote in person whether or not you have requested a mail-in ballot. Early voting is the best way to vote in-person, since there is greater flexibility on the weekday, fewer people, and you don’t have to wait on the mail. Early voting lasts 14 days this year, through Sunday, Nov. 1, but there is no voting on the Monday before election day, Nov. 2, except for dropping off a ballot. There are 20 early-voting locations in Orange County, and all of them are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. You can visit any location you like. You may take a selfie or photo outside the polling location, but photography is prohibited inside. (Another great reason to fill out your ballot in advance.) All locations are taking health and safety precautions, like using plexiglass shields, hand sanitizer, wipes and disinfectant spray. Wear a mask and feel free to bring your own black ballpoint pen.

Voting on Election Day Find your designated polling location on your county supervisor of elections website. You must show up at your designated polling location on Nov. 3 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. If the most powerful people in America wanted you to vote, they wouldn’t have scheduled Election Day on a Tuesday in November. The concept of “Election Day” itself is a form of voter suppression — along with the whole registration process. But here we are. You can buck the system and avoid drama by voting early. Otherwise, you must show up to ONLY your assigned precinct’s polling location. That’s why voting early, well before the voting deadline of 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, is such a good idea. While you’re there, remember to vote for elected officials who will remove barriers to voting, rather than making any of this more difficult. Also, be sure to post your “I Voted” photo and tag us on Orlando Weekly’s social channels with #OrlandoWeeklyVotes.

Orlando Weekly’s race-byrace guide to everything on your Nov. 3, 2020, Orange County general election ballot.

This year’s Orange County ballot is on two pages, front-and-back, with races for president, U.S. Congress, Florida Senate, Florida House of Representatives, and many more. You don’t have to vote for everything on your ballot to turn it in, but there are a lot of “downballot” races that are close to home and worth a vote. Try to leave no race or question unvoted, but don’t let one or two undecided races stop you from turning in your ballot – it’s too important this year. (Leaving a race or question blank is called “undervoting,” and it does not invalidate the rest of your ballot.) If you received your ballot in the mail, you can mail it back in, drop it at an approved drop box, or bring it with you to early vote. Or you can bring it to your polling place on Election Day. Early voting began on Monday, Oct. 19, and lasts through Sunday, Nov. 1. You can vote early at 20 different locations in Orange County from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Election day, your last day to vote, is on Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you are standing in

line to vote at 7 p.m., you are allowed to continue waiting until you vote. But why let that happen? By requesting your ballot by mail, you can send it back and verify online that it was counted. You can also hang on to it as a sample ballot to refer to at a polling location. Mail-in ballots, like all ballots, must be received by 7 p.m. on Nov. 3 to be counted, and postmarks do not count. You don’t want to be among those whose votes are contested by an angry Donald Trump, considering he will very likely try to invalidate late-arriving ballots that could turn Florida over to Joe Biden. Remember the entire 2000 presidential election hinged on just 537 votes in Florida for George W. Bush over Al Gore. If you thought that election ended badly, this year’s margin could again be razor-thin, so get your vote in early. These are the candidates and questions you’ll see on your Orange County ballot. Find your representatives/districts here, or just look up your sample ballot online.

U.S. PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT Look, don’t mess around on this one. A blank ballot is a loaded weapon, and you might as well fill this one in first. Do you want four more years of a reckless, narcissistic, violent maniac and his lackeys, or do you want a fundamentally decent man and woman who at least appear to care about the American people?

REPRESENTATIVE IN U.S. CONGRESS

Floridians have two U.S. Senators who serve six-year terms, but neither Sen. Marco Rubio nor Sen. Rick Scott are up for re-election in 2020. You’ll get to stick it to Rubio in two years (he will probably just win again), and Scott will likely run for president in 2024. Your members of Congress, however, run every two years, without term limits. Orange County is home to four congressional districts: Districts 7, 8, 9 and 10.

FLORIDA STATE REPRESENTATIVE (FLORIDA HOUSE)

Your state representative’s office is one of the first places to call when you have an issue with state government, including unemployment benefits. Besides serving on committees and filing up to six bills each per year, legislators manage constituent needs for state services. State reps run every two years and are term-limited to eight consecutive years – the better to ensure lobbyists and political parties can replace them, rather than letting the citizens keep representatives they like.

Florida House District 30

Parts of Orange and Seminole counties, including Maitland, Casselberry and Altamonte Springs. Joy Goff-Marcil – Democrat, Maitland (Incumbent) • Attorney, former vice mayor of Maitland • Netted endorsements from Florida Education Association teacher’s union and Ruth’s List • In favor of protecting rural land against uncontrolled development in her district Bob Cortes – Republican, Longwood • Seminole State College District Board of Trustees, former mayor of Longwood • Trying to win back the seat he lost two years ago. and held from 2014-2108 • Endorsed by Florida Right to Life, Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association

Justice of the Supreme Court

There are six Florida Supreme Court justices, each serving staggered six-year terms, with a mandatory retirement age of 75. Justices don’t face opponents on the ballot, but are retained or dumped by voters. There is only one justice on your November ballot, and he’s a doozy. Shall Justice Carlos G. Muñiz of the Supreme Court be retained in office? —> NO Muñiz, age 51, was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis on Jan. 22, 2019. Before that he was former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s chief of staff. After Bondi took $25,000 from Donald Trump, Muñiz defended the office’s decision not to investigate Trump University. On the 2020 Florida Bar Merit Retention Poll, only 63 percent of in-state Bar members with “considerable knowledge” of Muñiz feel he should be retained. The Orlando Sentinel’s Scott Maxwell delivered a massive takedown of Muñiz on Oct. 4, and it’s worth a read.

Fifth District Court of Appeal

None of these judges have done anything to merit vocal opposition this year, so you can vote any way you like. They’ll almost certainly all be retained. Below are their 2020 Florida Bar Merit Retention Poll Results, taken in August among those with “considerable knowledge” of each judge. Shall Judge Kerry I. Evander of the Fifth District Court of Appeal be retained in office? • Appointed by Jeb Bush in 2006 • In-state Bar members with “considerable knowledge” voting to retain: 86 percent Shall Judge Jamie Grosshans of the Fifth District Court of Appeal be retained in office? • Appointed by Rick Scott on Sept. 14, 2020 • Bar members with “considerable knowledge” voting to retain: 66 percent (tied for lowest among the 5th Circuit) Shall Judge John M. Harris of the Fifth District Court of Appeal be retained in office? • Appointed by Rick Scott on July 2018 • Bar members with “considerable knowledge” voting to retain: 81 percent Shall Judge Richard B. Orfinger of the Fifth District Court of Appeal be retained in office? • Appointed by Jeb Bush in 2000 • Bar members with “considerable knowledge” voting to retain: 87 percent (the highest of the 5th Circuit) Shall Judge Meredith Sasso of the Fifth District Court of Appeal be retained in office? • Appointed by Rick Scott on Jan. 2019 • Bar members with “considerable knowledge” voting to retain: 66 percent (tied for lowest among the 5th Circuit) Shall Judge F. Rand Wallis of the Fifth District Court of Appeal be retained in office? • Appointed by Rick Scott on May 29, 2013 • Bar members with “considerable knowledge” voting to retain: 82 percent

State of Florida Constitutional Amendments These state constitutional amendments require 60 percent of the vote or greater to pass, and if Gov. Ron DeSantis doesn’t like one voters approve, he can fight it for years in court.

No. 1 Constitutional Amendment, Article VI, Section 2 Citizenship Requirement to Vote in Florida Elections This amendment proposal is a xenophobic attempt to drum up Trump voters. State law already limits voting to U.S. citizens. This one is an easy “No.” —> NO No. 2 Constitutional Amendment, Article X, Section 24 Raising Florida’s Minimum Wage This amendment will raise Florida’s paltry $8.56 minimum wage up to $10 per hour at the end of September 2021, and then raise it on Sept. 30 each year thereafter by $1 per hour, until the minimum wage is $15 per hour in 2026. Then future minimumwage increases are adjusted annually for inflation starting in 2027. —> YES No. 3 Constitutional Amendment, Article VI, Section 5 All Voters Vote in Primary Elections for State Legislature, Governor, and Cabinet The people supporting No. 3 want to overturn Florida’s closed-primary election system that currently restricts primary elections to voters registered as Democrats or Republicans. On the surface it could sound promising, but what the Republican funders backing the proposal don’t mention is that it would eliminate Black and other minority elected representation in Florida. There are better ways to address Florida’s electoral mess than making Black electoral representation disappear. This amendment would do more harm than good. —> NO No. 4 Constitutional Amendment, Article XI, Sections 5 and 7 Voter Approval of Constitutional Amendments

Giant corporations funded this item to trick voters into making it harder to pass amendments. Laughably evil, this amendment would require voters to vote Yes in two separate elections before getting what they want. Just no. —> NO No. 5 Constitutional Amendment, Article VII, Section 4 and Article XII Limitations on Homestead Property Tax Assessments; increased portability period to transfer accrued benefit It increases, from two years to three years, the period of time during which accrued Save-Our-Homes benefits may be transferred from a prior homestead to a new homestead. —> YES or NO, depends on how you feel about tax breaks. No. 6 Constitutional Amendment, Article VII, Section 6 and Article XII Ad Valorem Tax Discount for Spouses of Certain Deceased Veterans Who Had Permanent, CombatRelated Disabilities It provides surviving military spouses a continuation in tax benefits. So these aren’t all bad. —> YES

Orange County Charter Amendments

You can read the full text of the proposed county charter amendments on your sample ballot or on the Orange County supervisor of elections website. It turns out all three are worthwhile additions to our county’s local governing charter. Proposed County Charter Amendment Question No. 1 Prohibiting Pollution of the Wekiva River, Econlockhatchee River and all other waters of Orange County If corporations can have rights like people, why not give legal standing to our natural resources, which have otherwise had unequal protection? —> YES Proposed County Charter Amendment Question No. 2 Protecting Split Oak Forest by Restricting Board of County Commissioners’ Amendment of Restrictions and Covenants It would restrict the Board of Orange County Commissioners’ ability to amend, modify, or revoke restrictions and covenants involving the Split Oak Forest. —> YES Proposed County Charter Amendment Question No. 3 Suspending time for Gathering Petition Signatures during Mandatory Reviews and Setting Deadline for 1% Notification Expands signature periods for citizens to make changes to the county charter. —> YES

Last week Orlando lost both Sam Singhaus and Miss Sammy, two shining stars who just happened to share the same body As if darkening our venues and

derailing our careers with COVID wasn’t enough, 2020 has also stolen from Orlando’s performing arts community a heartbreaking number of beloved members, decimating a generation of local theatrical talents. The latest shock came over an emotionally draining holiday weekend, as Central Florida lost not one but two shining stars, who just happened to share the same body. Sam Singhaus passed away on Oct. 12 following a brief battle with brain cancer, mere months after the death of his sister-inlaw, costume designer Marcy Singhaus. A talented singer and dancer, Sam performed in the original Broadway productions of the classic musicals La Cage aux Folles and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, before returning home to Orlando in the late 1980s to found the fondly remembered Big Bang nightclub. Singhaus was a frequent fixture on Orlando stages, often in shows created by his friend Michael Wanzie (most recently, last month). But he was perhaps even better known as Miss Sammy, his drag persona, who became an icon of Central Florida’s LGBTQ+ community. A consummate emcee and undisputed queen of trivia nights, Miss Sammy had a fabulous 1950s housedress and a cunning quip for every occasion, and no Parliament House production or Pride event felt complete without one of her signature lip-synced songs. (“Sisters” from White Christmas was always my favorite.) Even before I knew Miss Sammy, I became a fan of Sam’s after attending David Lee’s productions of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, in which Singhaus performed “Wicked Little Town” as movingly as composer Stephen Trask. And for this Jew, the highlight of my Christmas season was always sharing a stiff cocktail with Miss Sammy at 1618 Something Different during Ivanhoe Village’s annual Jingle Eve stroll. Most importantly, while Miss Sammy

could sometimes have a sharp tongue, Sam was one of the kindest, most caring people you could ever hope to know. Although deeply passionate in his progressive politics (yes, he got to vote this year, according to friend Beth Marshall), Singhaus was warm and welcoming to people of every persuasion. I’m certain Miss Sammy’s infectious good humor helped convert more than one social conservative into a drag fan over the decades.Although I crossed paths countless times with both Sam and Miss Sammy at Fringe Festival events and various fundraisers, I deeply regret never getting to work closely with Singhaus on a show. I tried to cast him in my 2009 Orlando Fringe parody The Karate Guy as Daniel LaRusso’s mom (we went there a decade before Cobra Kai!) but despite his fluency with improvisation, Sam declined because he was insecure about his ability to memorize scripted dialogue. I’m sure he would have been wonderful in the role, assuming he managed to show up on

time; Singhaus’ endearing eternal tardiness even extended to his extended final exit, which provoked an overwhelming outpouring of memories on social media over several days. I’m frankly at a loss for words, so I’m turning this space over to some of Singhaus’ close friends and posting (with their permission) a small portion of the heartfelt tributes they’ve been sharing.

Kenny Howard (producer/director):

We have lost a true original. One who we will remember constantly because of his active life in making Orlando a happier place. His laugh was contagious, his smile enchanting, and we are better people for having known him. Janine Klein (performer): When I was 16, I was mildly obsessed with NYC, Broadway and Sammy. So I concocted an idea that would allow me to shadow him for a day. It was the beginning of a 30-year friendship. Sam, Marcy and Steve became the family I always longed for. Eccentric, orlandoweekly.com

●

classy, full of stories that could make you howl with laughter. The caretakers that listened to and dealt with the ups and downs of everyone’s life. Rebecca Fisher (performer): I met Sam Singhaus in the spring of 1990. Over the years Sam, his brother Steve and Marcy became family to my family. I am grateful to Sam for his friendship, his sense of humor, his zest for life, the joy he brought to our tribe and countless others. When I got to be his visitor at the hospital, he never stopped cracking up the nurses and staff. He was diagnosed with brain cancer in early September. It is surreal that he is gone less than three months after the loss of Marcy. John Ryan (writer/performer): The world is a more joyous place because Sam Singhaus lived in it. In college, when I fell in love with the original cast album of La Cage Aux Folles, his voice on the recording taught me to “face life, though it’s sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter ... face life with a little guts and LOTS OF GLITTER.” I had the privilege to meet him as an adult and become friends ... then family. He taught me that life isn’t worth living without a song, that rescued animals make the best friends, and that there is absolutely no reason a man can’t unapologetically stroll into Publix to grocery shop wearing a full face of drag makeup, a baseball cap, jean shorts and an armless plaid shirt. You taught me how to say, “Hey world, I am what I am!” For that, I will be forever grateful. Steve Schneider (writer): Whenever someone passes away, people have a tendency to overstate their good qualities for the sake of respect. So please believe me that I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that Sam Singhaus was one of the nicest people I’ve ever known. His eyes showed about twice the life of a normal human’s. He had a quick wit that he used for good instead of evil. He just GLOWED. And most important, he lived his life like an Eveready battery of enthusiasm and encouragement. All you had to do was hint to Sam that there was some challenge you were thinking of taking on, or some personal happiness you hoped might be within your grasp, and he didn’t just tell you it was possible – he acted like it was already a foregone conclusion. By the time I met Sam, in the late ’90s, he was already a star of the Orlando theatrical and drag worlds. I can’t even begin to imagine the courage and fortitude it must have taken to be who he was at the time he did it. And to be so secure in it that he could devote himself so reliably to bolstering the rest of us – well, it just leads you to the unavoidable conclusion that some people are simply born better. Rest well, Sam. I don’t know if you’ll ever understand how much you meant to us. You probably thought you were just being you. But boy, did it make us happy. feedback@orlandoweekly.com OCT. 21-27, 2020 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

TOKYO RAMEN FUSION CUISINE 5076 W. Colonial Drive 407-440-4609 tokyoramenfusion.com $$

INTERNATIONAL

HOUSE OF RAMEN Tokyo Ramen Fusion Cuisine offers global riffs on the classic slurp BY FAIYAZ KARA

T

here was a fair bit of lamenting when OG soup house Sapporo Ramen said sayonara to the city’s ramen cognoscenti and closed shop last December. After all, the Westside Crossings ramen-ya had been on the vanguard of Orlando’s burgeoning ramen scene and occupied a special place in tonkotsu-soaked hearts. But not two months later, Da Sun Ramen moved in to fill the void and, a month or so later, Tokyo Ramen Fusion Cuisine had those very same soupsayers pattering about just two doors down. It’s where we set our sights and slurps one weekday evening, intrigued by the “fusion” aspect of the restaurant that took the place of Mr. Wong’s. Of course, ramen, with its origins in China, is a fusion dish in and of itself, but a glance of TRFC’s menu revealed ramen options with a distinct global influence in addition to a greatest hits compilation of Japanese cuisine. High on our list of possible pre-soup starters were the gyoza ($5.95) and takoyaki ($6.95), but after navigating the language barrier with our Chinese server, we deduced the dumplings and octopus balls were of

the frozen, not fresh, variety. Cut to a few minutes later and we were sinking teeth into glossy alabaster buns ($5.95) of braised pork belly, cucumber, scallions and a “Tokyo special sauce” bearing resemblance to a sriracha mayo. The bao, along with deep-fried, batterfree, spice powder-dusted Japanese chicken wings ($5.95), were both fine and good, but we came for the ramen – and the tonkotsu ($10.95) was first up. Of note was the buttery, viscous broth that lubricates lips in a way only tonkotsu can. Chef/owner Kongcheng Wang boils down pork bones for nine to 10 hours to make the broth, and doesn’t add MSG. The result is a deeply gratifying (and not overly salty) bowl of ramen made all the more so with thin cuts of chashu crisped around the edges, tamago, kikurage mushrooms and slurpy noodles. Swirls of naruto fish cake and scallions added to the visuals. Of the ramens veering into international

OPENINGS

waters, the menudo ($11.95) came highly recommended – it’s just as popular as the tonkotsu, we were told. If you’re thinking the ramen comprised chunks of beef tripe floating in a peppery broth like the Mexican soup of the same name, you’d be wrong. I was too. No, this menudo was more like Vietnamese bò kho, with cubes of stewed beef, bok choy, cilantro, scallions, fish cake and tamago. We quite enjoyed sucking in the beefy liquid and squiggly noodles but, when compared to the Vietnamese soup that inspired it, the menudo wasn’t quite worth its weight in broth. Other fusion-y soups offered here include a kimchi ramen ($11.95), hot and sour ramen ($10.95) and curry ramen ($10.95). Ramen aside, what really impressed was the unagi-don ($15.95). In between bites of everything else, we kept going back to this bowl of tare-glazed grilled eel atop pickled daikon, cucumber and steamed rice. Also impressive: the fruit teas ($3.99) – passion fruit and lychee – we ordered. By the way, beverages are in great supply here: fruit teas, milk teas, smoothies, matcha, plum wines, sakes and beer. The dining room is open but limited to 50 percent capacity with social distancing measures implemented. Servers wear masks, and booths and tables are wiped down after use. In fact, I could smell the disinfectant when we sat down – but it proved comforting. Believe me, I’ll take an air of Lysol over an air of mystery any day during these times. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

After the original April date was pushed back because of the coronavirus pandemic, Record Store Day – the annual celebration and spendfest for all things vinyl – was broken up into a series of drop dates from August through October. Oct. 24 will be the final “drop” for 2020. Local record stores participating in this year’s RSD have been doing their very best to pull off the delicate balancing act of getting exclusive LP releases into customers’ hands while also trying to discourage the clustered-together crowds flipping through stacks of vinyl that was once the heart of this event. Participating area stores are: Park Ave CDs, Remix Record Shop, Rock & Roll Heaven, Retro Records and East West Music & More. As always, stores are unable to reserve or hold items for customers beforehand. Check stores’ social media for queue and purchasing information.

Construct: Our Orlando

In the third iteration of the Mennello’s Construct: Our Orlando group show, curators pulled up two locals: Don Rimx and art collective Lemon Press.

Lemon Press (Anna Cruz and Adam Lavigne) combine painting, cartooning and installation to address time and memory – something we are all wrestling with in this bizarre locked-down pandemic year – recording 2020’s loss and potential through a fictional language inspired by hieroglyphs and other ancient systems of communication. $5.

“DON’T GIVE UP” Borrowing Gen Z’s love for labelling everything, I’m a 46-year-old homoromantic asexual Canadian faggot. For me that means I’d like to love and be loved by another man, but I’d hate having sex with him. To add a vexing complication, I also need some sort of power imbalance. Ideally, I would fall somewhere between being a man’s sub and being his slave. I’ve been searching for this since I came out in my early 20s. I’ve tried everything. Online, bars, hobby groups, friends, hookups. Vanilla relationships, single Masters, dominant couples, sex workers. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on both men and therapy, but here I am busted, miserable and alone. The point is that no one – and I mean absolutely no one – wants what I want. My dream dude doesn’t exist. It’s easy to tell someone to move on, that there are other fish in the sea, etc., but sometimes your sea is a puddle and you really are the only guppy. I’m considering ending my life before the end of the year. I can’t shake the deep sadness and disappointment and misery that I feel – and this isn’t even touching on my current unemployment or newly chronic health issues. What would you do if you were in my shoes? How does one switch off the built-in romantic drive? Sought A Dom Accepting Sad Singlehood I’m sorry you haven’t found your ideal man, SADASS, or the right dominant couple or a vanilla guy you could love and a dominant sex worker you could see on the side. Not everyone finds their ideal mate/position/situation, despite our best efforts, which is why it’s important that we build lives for ourselves that are rich and rewarding while we look for our dream dude(s). Because then even if we’re unhappily single – or we find ourselves unhappily single again – we would still have meaning and pleasure in our lives. And that makes it easier for us to live in hope that, should all the planets align, it could still happen for us or happen for us again. (Please note: I’m qualifying “single” with “unhappy” here not because all single people are unhappy – which is absolutely untrue – but because this single person, SADASS, is unhappy.) I have to assume it has happened for you once or twice, SADASS. While none of your relationships with any of the vanilla guys, single Masters, dominant couples or sex workers you’ve met along the way turned into long-term connections, there had to have been some good times and real – if not lasting – connections over the years. Instead of seeing those relationships as a string of failures because they all ended, SADASS, you should see them as a long series of successful short-term relationships. And while you may regret that none lasted 48

for years or decades, there’s nothing about being partnered that immunizes a person against regret. If you were still with one of those vanilla guys, you might always regret not meeting a Master; if you were with a Master or a dominant couple, you might regret – from time to time – not having a more egalitarian relationship. Although you say you are not interested in having sex, SADASS, your interests are erotically charged. If your erotic-if-not-sexual fantasies are causing you distress – if you want to switch off your built-in romantic/erotic drive – anti-depressants often lower and sometimes tank a person’s libido. For most people that’s an unwelcome side effect, but you may find it a blessing – at least for now, SADASS, while you’re dealing with your health and employment issues. It’s an extreme move but it’s far less extreme than the one you’ve been contemplating, so it might be worth discussing with a sex-positive, kink-positive, reality-aware therapist. Finally, please don’t end your life. The world is a far more interesting place with you in it. And while finding a romantic partner is never the solution to our problems – it’s only the start of a whole new set of problems – I’ve heard from countless people over the years who found something close to what they were looking for in their 50s, 60s and even 70s. But it can’t happen for you if you aren’t here for it. I’m bisexual man who works on a military base with so many hot men. But how the hell do I even get a quick cock to suck without getting fired for coming on to the wrong guy? Or beaten up? How do I approach someone who could be interested? It’s been forever since I’ve had a guy! Don’t tell me to try Grindr. I already did and most of the guys on there are not my style and the two that were blew me off. I wish I was totally straight or totally gay ’cause the bisexual world is really depressing! Basically I’ve Got Unfulfilled Yearnings Totally gay guys get blown off on Grindr and Sniffies and Recon all the time. Totally straight guys get blown off on Tinder and Farmers Only and Christian Mingle all the time. I’m not minimizing the unique challenges faced by bisexual men and women – biphobia is real – but everyone faces rejection, BIGUY. And while some gay guys don’t wanna date bi guys, you aren’t looking for a date. You’re looking for a dick to suck. So get back on Grindr. When you see a hot guy on the street, on the subway, or your military base, quickly open Grindr – or Scruff or Sniffies or Recon or all of the above – and if they’re on there too, send ’em

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● OCT. 21-27, 2020 ● orlandoweekly.com

a message. If they’re interested, they’ll write back. If they aren’t, they won’t. And if you’re worried a guy won’t let you suck his dick if you tell him you’re bisexual and you don’t mind blowing guys who might be biphobic, don’t disclose your bisexuality on your profile – stick to “’Sup?” and “Looking?” when you message them. And you know … back when men picked each other up in bars … you had to make eye contact with a lotta guys before you locked eyes with the right guy. If you made eye contact with a guy who wasn’t interested – if you weren’t his style or his type – he wouldn’t make eye contact with you again. That’s essentially what a guy is doing when he “blows you off” on Grindr: He’s taking a quick look, deciding you’re not for him and looking away – the exact same thing you’re doing to guys who aren’t your style or type. Guys who left the bar after two guys looked away never got to suck a dick, BIGUY, so don’t give up after a couple of guys blow you off on Grindr. Just keep looking around. I’m a 60-something straight woman. A few years ago, a longtime male friend and I, both in very unhappy relationships, did what I’d never done in my life: We cheated on our partners. We both ended our other relationships and the resulting two years have been wonderful. My guy is smart and funny and the sex is very, very, VERY good. We don’t live together – we see each other on weekends. Now for the problem: I think he voted for Trump. While he’s a political conservative, he’s not crazy and he has some reasonable viewpoints that I can tolerate even if I disagree. But not Trump. I don’t think a good person votes for Trump. Practically speaking, it doesn’t matter, because we live in solid blue Washington state and all our electoral votes will go to Biden, but I’m not sure I can fuck someone who voted for Trump. But if I end things with him there’s a good chance I’ll never have sex again. I don’t think there are many opportunities for 65-year-old averagelooking women, even ones with healthy libidos. Thoughts? Update: Before I could even hit send on this email, Dan, I found out that, yes, he voted for Trump. I’m sickened that this person I care for voted for Trump! Do I end it?!? OH FUCKING HELL Yes you do, OFH, and you tell him why: Elections have consequences. Better a trusty vibrator than an unworthy Trump voter.
