BY CHLOE GREENBERG, MCKENNA SCHUELER AND THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

» Orlando LGBTQ+ activists marched for trans youth over the weekend

A grassroots coalition of LGBTQ+ groups, organizations and activists gathered in Orlando on Saturday outside of City Hall to join a “National March to Protect Trans Youth and Speak Out for Trans Rights.” Some major aims of the march were to garner support for reversal of Florida lawmakers’ bans on gender-affirming healthcare, preferred public bathroom use by transgender people, and restrictions on Black and LGBTQ+ education in schools. Organizers also uplifted other political and social justice-oriented initiatives, such as expanding Medicaid and SNAP benefits for low-income Floridians; getting charges dropped for five young protesters known as the “Tampa 5,” who were arrested during a protest at the University of South Florida over cuts to diversity programs; and to expand free and legal abortion access. Featured speakers at the event included Miss Major, a Stonewall Riot veteran and advocate for trans rights; LGBTQ+ and immigration rights organizer Andrea Montanez of the Hope Community Center; Adria Jawort, an Indigenous Two-Spirit woman targeted by Montana’s anti-drag law; and Christynne Lili Wrene Wood, a trans woman who made headlines after being targeted in the media for using the women’s locker room of her local YMCA.

» Orlando Rep. Eskamani files bill to prevent criminal charges for getting an abortion

Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, has filed legislation that would prevent pregnant people from being criminally charged for getting an abortion in Florida, even if it’s obtained after 15 weeks of pregnancy — the state’s current limit. A six-week abortion limit was also passed but is on hold, pending a Florida Supreme Court review of a legal challenge over the 15-week limit. Eskamani’s bill, filed for consideration during the 2024 legislative session, is identical to a companion bill filed by Democrat Lauren Book in the State Senate last month. That bill was filed shortly after Florida governor and GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis falsely claimed on TV that state law currently only criminalizes abortion providers, not people who get abortions. Despite DeSantis’ claim to the contrary, Florida law states that “[a]ny person who willfully performs, or actively participates in, a termination of pregnancy” in violation of Florida’s abortion limit (save its limited exceptions) may be subject to a third-degree felony charge. “Governor Ron DeSantis and GOP allies like to say that abortion bans don’t lead to the criminalization of women and abortion seekers,” Rep. Eskamani said in a statement. “If that is true, then passing this bill should be easy and bipartisan.” Florida’s 2024 legislative session begins in January.

» Florida Attorney General sues Biden administration over mess resulting from anti-union law

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a lawsuit against White House officials in the Biden administration over complications of an anti-union law championed by Florida governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis. The law imposes new restrictions on public sector unions — unions representing teachers, bus drivers, healthcare workers, librarians, 911 dispatchers, and more. Police and firefighter unions, which mostly endorsed Moody and DeSantis for office, were largely exempted from the law. Moody’s lawsuit claims that two federal agencies — the Department of Labor and Department of Transportation — are trying to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds for Florida’s transit systems. Under federal law, federal transit funds can be granted to states, with the condition that transit workers’ collective bargaining rights in those states are protected. Transit unions in Florida warned ahead of the new law’s passage that the law could infringe upon this, potentially risking those federal funds. Republican lawmakers sort of listened and added a carve-out for transit unions, giving them the option to apply for a waiver that would exempt them. But there’s been disagreement over whether the waivers created by the state are sufficient to meet federal requirements, which are meant to help protect employees. In a news release, Moody’s office claims the feds are now trying to withhold a bunch of transit system money, while a union official told Orlando Weekly that the state actually worked with the feds to iron this issue out. A representative of the state agency involved in that process (the Public Employees Relations Commission) confirmed to Orlando Weekly they’ve reached an agreement with the feds, at least regarding the waiver submissions they’ve received from transit unions so far.

» Florida Attorney General’s lawsuit claims Juul vapes were improperly marketed to children

The transit funds lawsuit against the Biden administration wasn’t the only suit filed by the Florida

Attorney General’s office last week. AG Ashley Moody’s office is also suing Juul Labs, alleging it improperly marketed its e-cigarette products to children and offered misleading information about nicotine content in its products. Moody’s office filed the lawsuit in Hillsborough County circuit court, seeking civil penalties and an injunction to prevent Juul from “targeting children through their marketing and product design, and from deceiving consumers with respect to the nicotine concentration.” The lawsuit alleges Juul violated a law known as the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. “Juul relentlessly marketed to underage users with launch parties, advertisements using trendy-looking and young models, social media posts, and free samples,” the lawsuit said. Juul responded by saying Moody had decided against participating in a settlement between the company and 48 states and territories. Juul also pointed to steps the company has taken, “including ceasing distribution of non-tobacco, non-menthol products in advance of FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) guidance on flavors, halting mass market product advertising, and restructuring our entire company with an emphasis on combating underage use. In part, due to these efforts, we have seen underage use of Juul products cut by 95%.”

» Court urged to block ‘discriminatory’ Florida law that bans Chinese property ownership

Attorneys for a group of plaintiffs urged a federal appeals court to block a new Florida law that restricts people from China from owning property in the state, saying the measure “mandates egregious national-origin discrimination.” A 57-page brief filed at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the law, approved this spring by Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-led Legislature, is unconstitutional and violates the federal Fair Housing Act. The plaintiffs went to the Atlanta-based appeals court after a district court in Florida refused to issue a preliminary injunction against the law (SB 264). In approving the law, DeSantis and the Legislature pointed to an alleged need to “curb the influence of the Chinese government and Chinese Communist Party” in Florida. Overall, the law affects people from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria. The lawsuit focuses on part of the measure that specifically puts restrictions on people from China who are not U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents. That part prevents people “domiciled” in China from purchasing property in Florida, with some exceptions. Such people each would be allowed to purchase one residential property up to two acres, if the property is not within five miles of a military base and they have non-tourist visas.

THEIR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

Orange County approves tourist-tax funding for UCF, convention center and arts; out of nearly $800 million, the bulk is earmarked for an OCCC expansion.

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER

The board of Orange County commissioners, after a marathon six-hour meeting last week, agreed to use nearly $800 million in public tourist tax development funding to pay for an expansion of the already exceptionally large Orange County Convention Center, as well as an enhancement to UCF’s football stadium and some grants for local arts.

County commissioners voted 5–2 (commissioners Bonilla and Wilson dissenting) to approve a $560 million funding request from the Orange County Convention Center, already the third-largest in the nation, bigger in size than the U.S. Pentagon, as the Orlando Sentinel opinion writer Scott Maxwell has aptly pointed out.

The elephant in the room — the massive expansion of virtual meeting tools like Zoom that mean travel is no longer necessary for all large meetings — was not directly addressed in discussion of OCCC, although a representative for the convention center claimed attendance over the last fiscal year was on par with pre-pandemic levels.

The board also unanimously approved $88 million in tourist tax funds for the University of Central Florida, which had halved its original request of $176.6 million.

They also approved $75 million over five years for the county’s Tourist Development Tax Application Review Committee, which considers applications for TDT funding and provides written funding recommendations, and $69 million to support local arts and cultural affairs groups.

Orange County’s tourist development tax, also known as the hotel tax, is a 6% levy added to the cost of a hotel room, Airbnb or other short-term lodging. During the 2022 fiscal year alone, it generated $336 million for the county. State law, however, restricts how that pot of money can be used, requiring that at least 40% of funds are used “to promote and advertise tourism.”

A portion of funds could go toward public infrastructure projects, if certain conditions are met, but historically, the funds have largely subsidized the tourism industry and professional sports.

Orange County has a task force made up of tourism reps, representatives from various Orange County cities, commissioner appointees and a labor union rep, all of whom make their own funding recommendations based on the submitted proposals. Those recommendations go to the mayor and commissioners for discussion and approval.

What didn’t make the cut

Not all funding proposals recommended by the Orange County task force this year, despite pushback from some, made the final cut.

Tension during Tuesday’s meeting was heightened by news released shortly beforehand from the county comptroller that TDT collections in August fell for the fifth month in a row, compared to the same time last year.

Several requests this year — including $400 million for the city-owned Camping World Stadium, $256 million for Orlando’s Amway Center and $145 million for the Dr. Phillips Center — were sidelined, after commissioners grilled representatives over the community benefits their investments would realistically provide and asked for more detailed financials to support their requests.

“There’s got to be some financial responsibility,” said commissioner Mayra Uribe, following a presentation from Camping World Stadium. “That’s one thing that I commended about the convention center,” Uribe added. “They have full-time jobs, full benefits, all that. We can’t say the same for this venue.”

The Pentagon-sized Orange County Convention Center does staff some union-represented food service workers (who won meaningful gains in a new labor contract they were prepared to strike over in January).

A rep for the facility on Tuesday boasted the convention center’s 472 full-time employees, 500 consistent part-time employees, and thousands of jobs in total.

The convention center, which ended its last fiscal year with 1.5 million attendees and a $2.8 billion economic impact, previously got an OK from the county commission for its expansion funds several years ago, reportedly at the urging of Big Tourism, but halted the controversial expansion during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The proposal has come under scrutiny in the past for whether it can really provide the return on investment county leaders are literally banking on.

There was also an awkward moment where Wilson addressed a few of the OCCC workers who came to speak in favor of their employer’s funding pitch during public comment.

“I’m concerned that they feel threatened right now with this discussion, and I wanted to find out what they were told internally,” said Wilson.

“I want to make sure that everyone understands that support for a new building — you know, a brick-and-mortar building — is not equivalent to support for those workers,” she added. “We have already approved a budget that will continue to maintain … continue to support the existing infrastructure inside of that convention center, including those workers.”

Sharing concerns about this pitch and other funding proposals from sports stadiums, some members of the community have called for an independent economic and social impact study to be conducted ahead of major funding commitments.

“Only a fair outside consultant able to conduct an unbiased analysis will be able to bring perspective to how reasonable the requests from these venues are,” said Michael Perkins, who spoke during public comment. “Collecting more tax revenue without putting it to use to serve the true needs of our community is counterproductive.”

Dr. Kelly Sumrad, a former mayoral candidate, activist and assistant professor in the Tourism, Events & Attractions Department at UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management, also supported the idea of an economic impacts study.

“We need a legitimate economic impact study that assesses not only the direct and indirect money that’s coming into the convention center,” she shared during public comment, singling out the sprawling facility. “We need to assess the economic implications of supporting an industry that pays poverty wages.”

“If the people are not provided for,” she added, “the industry will collapse.”

Mention of “poverty wages” during public comment — echoing similar feedback from union reps on the county’s task force, who wanted employers’ treatment of their workers to factor into their funding proposals — evidently was then factored into the venues’ presentations Tuesday. It seemed to help sweeten the deal for some; not so much for others.

“The bad news again, though, is that we cannot afford to do everything that has been requested,” Mayor Demings admitted, after all five venues had presented their final pitches.

Demings had issued a memo last month sharing that he favored investments in Camping World, Amway, OCCC, the Application Review Committee and Arts & Cultural Affairs, but felt that the proposals from UCF and Dr. Phillips could wait.

Demings asserted, at the top of the meeting, that no member of the county commission had “been lobbied by some constituency group” regarding the funding proposals.

But commissioners Bonilla and Wilson (sort of), along with some members of the public, expressed support for the idea of an independent economic impact study — specifically, one that isn’t conducted by Visit Orlando, a tourism and marketing arm of the region which receives TDT funds, representing a clear conflict of interest.

“That’s being financially responsible,” Bonilla argued.

“They’re essentially getting a third of this money,” Uribe added, expressing dismay with Visit Orlando’s lack of county oversight. “They’re the only board in Orange County that doesn’t have a county commissioner or mayor on the executive board. They’re the only board that doesn’t have to present their budget to us,” she said.

Commissioner Mike Scott, the youngest and newest member of the board, admitted, “It doesn’t hurt to get some like fresh eyes, or a different perspective, or just to kind of co-sign or endorse what you’ve already worked out with your internal accounting folks.”

“While I want to approve and move forward some things, I feel that if we do that and we don’t discuss Visit Orlando, we are hurting ourselves in the entire process,” said Uribe.

According to a county news release, the board of county commissioners will move forward with a work session to discuss its future contract with Visit Orlando.

FSouthern United States, at $12 an hour. It was $11 an hour until Sept. 30, and $10 the year before that, but the increases don’t come out of the goodness of employers’ or politicians’ hearts: They are a direct result of Florida voters’ decision to support a constitutional amendment in 2020 to gradually raise the state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026.

That minimum wage initiative, driven by a coalition of labor, racial justice, economic justice and grassroots organizations (plus the coffers of personal injury lawyer John Morgan) garnered nearly 61% of the vote, just barely surpassing the 60% threshold that’s needed in Florida for constitutional amendments to pass. (It did get more votes in Florida than either presidential candidate Joe Biden or former president Donald Trump, however.)

Problem is, while the labor movement has celebrated this victory, Florida simultaneously remains a state with one of the highest minimum wage violation rates in the country, and few elected leaders — Democrat or Republican — ever really talk about it, let alone acknowledge that it’s a problem.

There was a state agency tasked with enforcing the state

leaves Florida’s minimum wage workers today, many of whom labor in some of the state’s most pivotal industries, with few options when their boss fails to pay them what they’re owed.

Minimum wage earners can file a complaint with the federal government, which can recover wages — but only up to the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour. Or they can pursue a civil suit with a private lawyer, a potentially costly and time-consuming process. Or they can file a complaint with the State Attorney General’s Office, which for years failed to take a single enforcement action against wage theft and doesn’t even openly publicize its ability to enforce Florida’s minimum wage.

Or, if you live in one of just a handful of municipalities in Florida that offers such a service, you can turn to a local wage recovery program.

One of those municipalities is Osceola County, just south of Orlando, which first established a program to combat wage theft, including unpaid wages and tips, in 2015.

Workers in Osceola County — not just those making minimum wage — can file a complaint with the county if they believe their

each year.”

Failing to pay workers at least minimum wage is just one example of wage theft, but in Florida, it’s one of the most common, according to the independent Florida Policy Institute.

In 2021, the organization released a report calling on lawmakers to reassess enforcement of the state minimum wage, warning that it’s “been largely unenforced for at least a decade.”

As of 2019, the minimum wage violation rate among low-wage Floridians was 14.6 percent, the report found, nearly double what it was between 2000 and 2005. After Floridians voted in 2004 to increase the state minimum wage from $5.15 an hour to $6.15, the violation rate shot up even higher, reaching a peak of 26 percent in 2015.

Some of Florida’s top industries — agriculture, service work and real estate — suffer some of the highest levels of minimum wage violations. Women, people of color and immigrants, who are over-represented in low-wage jobs, are particularly vulnerable.

Taking it local: How it works

In the broad absence of an enforcement mechanism on a state level under Republican leadership, grassroots activism in local communities helped push elected leaders in places like MiamiDade, Pinellas and Broward Counties to adopt local programs to combat this, according to Bruce Nissen, a retired labor studies professor and community activist who helped advocate for them.

“I think the problem a lot of times in Orlando was we didn’t, at that time, have a similar level of grassroots activism fighting for it,” Nissen, who now resides in Pinellas County, told Orlando Weekly in an interview earlier this year

Osceola County’s wage recovery program, managed by the county attorney’s office, is one-of-a-kind in Central Florida.

How it works: The first step, if you believe you’ve been shorted wages and are eligible for the program, is to file a complaint.

You can’t file anonymously, and the work must have been performed within the past 12 months and within county limits. You don’t have to be a legal U.S. citizen to file, and you don’t need to have your own attorney.

The county will ask for evidence to substantiate your claim of wage theft — for instance, check stubs, W-2 forms (the program doesn’t cover independent contractors) or canceled checks.

If the allegation looks legit, they’ll move forward with serving a notice to your employer, who has 20 days to respond. If they do respond, the county will begin a conciliation process.

Sometimes, the employer will pay up before conciliation is necessary, county attorney Natasha Billyer confirmed, if they are spooked enough by the county’s served notice.

If the employer doesn’t respond, however, the county will schedule an administrative hearing. This is also what will happen if the county hasn’t been able to resolve the problem through conciliation.

Administrative hearings are conducted only in English, but Billyer told Orlando Weekly they recently established a translator service, and a language barrier hasn’t been a deterrent to a worker’s participation to her knowledge in the past, she said. Notably, immigrants and undocumented workers are particularly vulnerable when it comes to minimum wage violations, according to the Florida Policy Institute.

These groups of workers commonly labor in industries pivotal to Central Florida’s billion-dollar tourism economy, such as hospitality and service work, which can be hotbeds for exploitation, including wage theft.

If the hearing officer assigned to your case in Osceola County determines your employer did commit wage theft, the officer may order them to pay liquidated damages to the worker of up to three times the amount of wages claimed.

In addition, the officer may also order the employer to cover administrative costs associated with conducting the hearing. But there’s a catch.

The county states explicitly that they can’t force an employer to pay, even if the hearing officer rules in the worker’s favor. At that point, if the employer just refuses to pay, the worker would have to take private legal action to recover their stolen wages.

What Osceola County can do, Billyer confirmed, is move to suspend or revoke the local business tax receipt of an employer who fails to pay up.

But that’s not exactly a fine, and the penalty for doing business with a delinquent business tax receipt varies by county, but usually isn’t enough to be a strong deterrent. There’s no guarantee that workers will get what they’re lawfully owed, or that their employer, empowered by Florida’s weak labor laws, won’t reoffend.

CBS News Miami in January reported a similar issue facing workers who utilized a wage recovery program in Miami-Dade, which has reported stronger wage recovery numbers. While the

county can order employers to pay up, they also can’t force the issue. But troubles with wage recovery aren’t a uniquely Florida problem. Even in states like New York, which has a state department of labor that’s empowered to recover unpaid wages, workers can still struggle to get what they’re owed.

Locally, Osceola County’s program is a very small operation, lacking even a dedicated budget. Although it’s existed for over eight years at this point, it’s woefully underutilized.

Records obtained by Orlando Weekly show that the county received anywhere from just five to 25 complaints of wage theft annually (and that’s not exclusively minimum wage violations).

Annual and biennial reports submitted to the board of county commissioners since the program’s launch in 2017 show the program ordered back pay and damages ranging from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars for workers each year, collectively.

In the first two years of the program, between March 2015 and March 2017, the county received 17 wage theft complaints. Six were deemed “deficient” — meaning there wasn’t sufficient proof or the claim didn’t meet eligibility criteria. Two were ultimately settled privately.

Six cases went to an administrative hearing, with back pay ordered by a hearing officer, while three were resolved through conciliation meetings with the county.

All in all, the county recovered nearly $40,000 in back pay and liquidated damages for nine workers over that initial two-year period. From March 2020 to March 2023, the county recovered about $41,500 for 19 workers, after seeing a dip in complaints filed over the second year of the pandemic.

From March 2020 to March 2021, the county received just five complaints. Two were withdrawn or dismissed. One was settled privately. The county recovered about $500 for a single worker after serving the employer a notice, and $300 for another through a court hearing.

The following year was more productive: They recovered $11,275 for five workers collectively.

From March 2022 to March 2023, that shot up to nearly $30,000 recovered for 12 workers.

A similar program in Pinellas County — a county with nearly double the population — has recovered $616,720 for 296 workers since Jan. 1, 2016, a wage theft coordinator there confirmed. Similar to Osceola, they also saw a big dip in complaints filed in 2021.

From 2013 to 2018, the program in Miami-Dade County — Florida’s most populous — handled 3,261 complaints, recovering over $3.65 million in unpaid wages and penalties, according to annual reports obtained by the National Employment Law Project.

Different program designs and models produce varying results. Palm Beach County, for example, gives money to the Legal Aid Society to handle cases of wage disputes. But that model, Creative Loafing Tampa Bay reported in 2015, was more costly to the county than Miami-Dade’s and recovered less money for workers.

Some communities in the U.S. have also adopted community enforcement programs — partnerships between governmental agencies (typically labor enforcement agencies) and community organizations.

Enforcement considerations for these programs, encouraged by worker advocates, include things like publicizing employers’ violations, barring government contracts with violators, and even criminal prosecution in egregious cases, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

In Osceola County, part of the problem, too, might just be getting the word out.

“There’s no particular outreach that’s done on the county side,” confirmed Billyer, the county attorney. “The information is on our website.”

Going the federal route — and its limitations

Another way Florida workers can recover unpaid wages is to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor. Not specific to minimum wage violations, the department conducted more than 2,500 wage and hour investigations in the 2022 fiscal year alone, leading to more than $20.5 million in back wages and damages for more than 12,000 workers, a department spokesperson confirmed.

Since 2002, when Florida’s department of labor was dismantled, the federal labor department has helped over 450,000 workers in Florida, owed hundreds of millions of dollars collectively.

In January of this year, for instance, Orlando Health Medical Group Urology was forced by the federal Labor Department to pay out $244,000 in back wages to 49 employees after failing to pay overtime premiums, allowing workers to work off the clock, and failing to keep accurate records of hours worked. This year, the federal department also recovered $144,000 for workers of an Orlando-based hospitality company, and recently, over $120,000 for 24 workers at a Sand Lake Road pizza restaurant.

But, when it comes to minimum wage violations, the federal government is limited in what it can recover. According to the Florida Policy Institute, the feds can only recover up to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, about $5 less than Florida’s state minimum wage of $12.

In theory, this is where state and local officials in places with higher minimum wages are supposed to step in, to fill that gap.

And there’s evidence to suggest a link between a weak enforcement system and a higher rate of minimum wage violations.

The Economic Policy Institute concluded in a 2017 report that “the strength of a state’s labor laws and its enforcement capacity do have a significant impact on the likelihood that employers will commit wage theft.”

Employers in Florida, where workers have weaker protections, “have little reason to think they will ever be caught.”

State remains largely silent

Florida’s state constitution states that “all working Floridians are entitled to be paid a minimum wage that is sufficient to provide a decent and healthy life for them and their families,” but you wouldn’t know it by the state’s toothless minimum wage enforcement.

[continued on next page]

Few elected leaders — Democrat or Republican — ever really talk about wage theft, let alone acknowledge that it’s a problem.

For decades, Florida has lacked a state agency dedicated to actually enforcing Florida’s minimum wage, and there’s been little action by state lawmakers to try and do anything about it.

Florida used to have just such an agency: The Florida Department of Labor and Economic Security was empowered to handle complaints of wage theft, among other things.

But, at the behest of former Governor Jeb (“Please clap”) Bush, the Florida Legislature moved to dissolve the state labor department in 2002.

Many of its responsibilities, including the management of Florida’s unemployment system, were handed off to other public or not-for-profit agencies, with an explicit goal of consolidation and privatization.

But somehow, the enforcement of Florida’s wage and hour laws fell through the cracks.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, then the Florida Senate Democratic Leader, accused Republican leadership in 2000, as they got the ball rolling, of playing “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? with Florida’s lobbying corps” and “putting itself deeper and deeper in the pockets of Florida’s wealthy special interests” after a tumultuous legislative session involving tears and temper tantrums (my, how some things don’t change).

With the dissolution of the state labor department, Florida’s minimum wage enforcement mechanism was essentially abolished, with no replacement, opening the doors for rampant violations.

That is, until a few years later, when a constitutional amendment was passed by 71% of Florida voters in 2004 to raise Florida’s state minimum wage.

This amendment included a provision that allowed the State Attorney General “or other official designated by the state Legislature” to bring a lawsuit if an employer fails to follow minimum wage requirements.

Under state statutes, the Attorney General is empowered to bring a civil action against employers accused of wage theft, and can impose a fine of $1,000 per violation, payable to the state.

But it’s not clear the Attorney General’s office, led by Republican Ashley Moody, takes this responsibility at all seriously.

Between 2011 and 2016, under former Republican AG Pam Bondi, the office failed to take a single enforcement action against minimum wage violations, according to records obtained by In These Times

More recent records obtained by the Florida Policy Institute, reviewed by Orlando Weekly, also reveal a lack of enforcement action.

From 2016 to 2019, the office received just 29 complaints of minimum wage violations, records from the AG’s office showed. And there’s no evidence to suggest they recovered a single cent.

Orlando Weekly submitted a records request for wage and hour complaints submitted since 2019, and a spokesperson clarified that the office had received a mere 53 complaints of alleged minimum wage violations since 2019. (By comparison, the city of Seattle, with a population of less than 750,000 at the time, received 143 complaints regarding minimum wage violations in 2019 alone.)

The majority of complaints received by Florida’s Attorney General’s office were “insufficient for further action,” the spokesperson shared.

Some were inquiries, not complaints, they said. Some complainants “misunderstood” minimum wage requirements, and some did not respond to their office’s attempts to contact them.

“We have successfully resolved six complaints by contacting the employer (nominal additional wages were recovered) and six other complaints remain under active review,” the spokesperson added.

Aramis Ayala, a Democrat who ran against Moody for State

Attorney General in 2022, sort of campaigned on taking minimum wage enforcement seriously.

But Republicans were popular at the polls, sweeping a red tide over reddish-purplish Florida. Ayala lost her bid against Moody, winning just 39 percent of the vote.

Moody, meanwhile, who’s been in office since 2019, took in a pretty penny from corporate interests during her 2022 campaign.

Her political committee, Friends of Ashley Moody, reported tens of thousands of dollars in donations from the likes of Publix and various auto dealerships, as well as conservative groups like the Florida Chamber of Commerce and Associated Industries of Florida, which ran a corporate-funded campaign lobbying Floridians to vote against the $15 minimum wage ballot initiative in 2020.

A near-invisible problem in the Legislature

Granted, it’s not just Florida’s AG. Florida lawmakers haven’t taken much notice of the problem either.

As lawmakers verbally brawl over “indoctrination,” abortion rights and the Chinese Communist Party, beefing up enforcement of Florida’s minimum wage hasn’t really been prioritized by anyone in the Legislature, Democrat or Republican, with few exceptions.

State Sen. Victor Torres, a Democrat and self-described “union guy” from Orlando, and Democratic Rep. Angie Nixon of Jacksonville have, unlike most of their colleagues, notably addressed the problem.

Both lawmakers have filed bills in recent years to reestablish a state labor department, not just to better combat wage theft, but other labor issues, too, like cracks in Florida’s unemployment system.

All attempts have been unsuccessful.

Bills filed by the two Democrats for legislative consideration in 2021, 2022 and 2023 have died unceremoniously, unmourned by most politicians on either side of the aisle.

Rep. Nixon and Sen. Torres told Orlando Weekly in April that they believe getting this legislation through won’t happen without change at the top and more Democrats in the state Legislature.

Currently, Republicans have a supermajority, holding 111 out of 160 seats in the Florida House and Senate, leaving Democrats with little voting power.

This has created problems for Democrats attempting to get anything of substance — from tenant protections to higher teacher pay — codified into law. The minority party is constantly trying to put out culture war fires stoked by a majority party that’s been gaining a voter registration edge in the state.

“Time after time after time again, we [Democrats] file legislation that is reflective of what the people want, what the people need, what they’ve been asking us for,” Nixon told Orlando Weekly. “And time and time again, our bills aren’t heard.”

State Rep. Anna Eskamani (D-Orlando), who co-sponsored Nixon’s bill in 2022, offered a similar assessment. “The Florida Legislature has been so captured by corporate America that there really is no clear path forward for pro-worker policies to pass,” Eskamani told Orlando Weekly over email.“In my past five sessions I have witnessed the erosion of worker rights, from union-busting to preemption and a broken unemployment system [that] continue[s] to be left broken,” she added.

Sen. Torres, a former bus driver and union cop from New York, confirmed to Orlando Weekly Friday that he plans to refile his department of labor legislation for the 2024 session, which begins in January. Rep. Nixon’s office did not return a request for comment, but an aide for Torres told us he believes Nixon plans to do the same in the Florida House.

When asked about his colleagues’ disinterest in taking up his legislation, Torres acknowledged he’s working in a difficult political landscape.“One of the issues we have in Florida here is the lack of support for working-class people,” he shared candidly. “Listen, some elected officials, they’re super rich,” he admitted, speaking not just of Republican politicians but conceding this is true for some on the Democratic side, too.

Of those wealthy lawmakers who remain silent on this issue, he says, “They don’t realize what the everyday citizen goes through.” Some have forgotten where they’ve come from, he added.

He does what he can to speak up about these issues to his colleagues. “I wish we could do more,” he added.

Waiting on politicians to gain an appetite for minimum wage enforcement is an imperfect solution. Especially when Republicans, and their supermajority presence, have already tried to undercut Florida’s minimum wage as it is, in part through attempts to carve out certain types of workers (for instance, those with felony convictions).

Nissen, the Pinellas County activist who’s authored reports on wage recovery ordinances in Florida, told Orlando Weekly that drumming up support through community organizing is “key.”

“Then you’ll see politicians responding in a thousand different ways,” he said. On a local level, Nissen saw this play out in MiamiDade and Broward, for instance, about a decade ago.

“We didn’t have a similar level of kind of movement activism going on in Broward,” Nissen recalled, “and it almost got killed in Broward because of that.”

But he concedes there are differences in how the two major political parties have addressed the problem. “I mean, there’s no mileage in it for the Republican Party, certainly,” he admitted. Republicans, in his view, will “make overtures” toward working-class people through populist tactics, or by appealing to various kinds of prejudices, but centering everyday workers’ concerns isn’t necessary to their aim of maintaining control over the state. “You’ll get a little more posturing in that direction from the Democrats,” he added. “But I don’t think enough of the party systematically stands up for workers.”

Florida Senate minority leader Fentrice Driskell, a Democrat from Tampa, told Orlando Weekly on a September press call, when questioned about this issue, that her caucus has worked to be “a champion” for the people, “and not just for the rich and the powerful.”

“I can affirm to you that it has been a big part of our caucus in terms of our policy priorities to make sure that we are always looking out for our minimum wage workers,” she added.

Employers in Florida, where workers have weaker protections, “have little reason to think they will ever be caught.”

Universal Studios may have dominated Orlando’s Halloween scene during the past three decades, but Central Florida has also been home to memorable independent year-round and seasonal haunts for nearly as long. From Terror on Church Street and Skull Kingdom to A Haunting in Old Town and A Petrified Forest, nearly every notable local haunt since the 1990s has had one thing in common: the contributions of Dan Carro, a freelance designer of haunted attractions around the globe who is currently Gatorland’s creative director.

I recently caught up with Carro ahead of this weekend’s return of Gators, Ghosts, and Goblins, the family-friendly daytime event that’s included with regular Gatorland admission on Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 29, and learned how someone who dislikes gore and thrill rides ended up wrangling monsters inside a reptilian theme park.

Dan Carro’s acting career began shortly after high school at downtown’s original Terror on Church Street, but in his telling it wasn’t initially an ideal fit.

“It was an acting job that I was able to get yearround, and I loved it,” Carro says, “but I hated it because back then I hated horror movies and I was afraid of the dark.”

Obviously, he’s learned to cope with that phobia. Carro turned haunting into a career, going from Skull Kingdom and Pirates Dinner Adventure to Europa Park in Germany, not only as a performer but also as a designer and director. Despite being a professional park haunter, Carro professes not to really like two of the industry’s staples: roller coasters and R-rated violence. “On a roller coaster, I’m not in control,” he explains. “You’re tying me to a chair and then hurtling me through the atmosphere, and I’m at your mercy.

I don’t love that.”

In his haunted houses, on the other hand, Carro is in command, but his other “secret” is that he also doesn’t “love blood and guts, or horror, or seeing bad things happen to good people; that’s not why I do it. I like stories with heroes. The thing I discovered is that your heroes are judged by your villains. The thing I love about doing haunts is that my guests are the heroes, [and] I just have to be the best villain I can so you can rise to the occasion and survive it, and feel good about getting through it.”

Although some might dismiss haunted houses as crass collections of cheap jump scares, Carro eloquently defends the genre as “the only form of theater where the patron is on stage, and you’re interacting with the guest, and they are part of the story.” That’s perhaps best experienced inside Swamp Ghost’s Monster Museum, the event’s signature exhibit about Halloween traditions, which is personally hosted by Carro. “I talk to them all as if they are characters, like they’re part of whatever is happening,” he says of attendees. “They’re not just passively walking through and having things happen to them.”

In addition to the updated Monster Museum, this year’s Halloween at Gatorland also features a couple of new haunt zones, including a Creepy Creature Carnival and the Frightful Frontier, full of cursed cowboys. Riders aboard the park’s locomotive — temporarily rechristened the Cryptid Express — can try to snap photos of the Jersey Devil, Mothman and other X-Files antagonists alongside the train tracks. Kids can pose in a pumpkin coach alongside real-life creatures, or participate in a trick-or-treat costume parade.

The offerings at Gatorland are obviously far slimmer than at bigger Halloween events, both

out of necessity (nearly everything is produced in-house by a core team of only three people, plus some assistants and vendors) and by design.

“I love the big parks too; it’s not Halloween for me unless I go to Horror Nights or Howl-OScream,” Carro says of the competition. “They’re huge and elaborate and it’s immersive, but it’s not personal. They can’t be; they have to be people-eaters. The thing that I love that we get to do is, every single guest that comes through I interact with, and I get to look in the eye and talk to, and get to see their reactions.”

That emphasis on intimate interaction over shock-and-awe helps make Gatorland’s event truly all-ages, instead of simply child-centric, according to Carro.

“A lot of family Halloween events say ‘something for everyone.’ They really mean it’s appropriate for all ages, but it doesn’t mean mom and dad and older kids are going to have fun because it’s all little-kid stuff. We’re very careful about making sure there’s a mix of things that little kids are going to like, [but] then we also want to make sure there’s some stuff that’s pushing PG/PG-13, [that] adults and older kids and haunt fans are gonna love.”

Carro closes by crediting Gatorland for trusting him to “get creative and come up with crazy ideas,” praising Mark McHugh (the family-owned company’s chief executive) for being “super-supportive” and accessible.

“That’s not something you get to do when you work for a big park. How many places could you knock on the CEO’s door and be like, ‘Hey, can I bounce this joke off you?,’” Carro says. “It’s a pretty special work situation that we have here, that we’re very lucky to have.”

SOUP TO CUTS

Boil Spot brings an abundance of broths and barbecue to sate DIYers

BY FAIYAZ KARA

There are those who pooh-pooh the notion of going to a restaurant to cook food, but I kinda like making a splash of myself at hot-pot joints. I really don’t mind sizzling marinated rashers of meat on tabletop grills at Korean barbecue houses, either. I suppose I enjoy the uninhibited swell of it all — the flirtations with raw ingredients, the sheer variety of options, the shared communal experience. Not to mention it’s just plain fun. But I’d never indulged in any of the hot pot/KBBQ combo spots that have been popping up all over the city with plodding names like KPOT, Volcano and Sizzling. Then I learned of a place called Boil Spot and, well, decision made.

So I put on my rattiest T-shirt and dashed off to the unfortunately named restaurant to see if it lived up to its pustular handle.

“It’s boil as in boiling,” declared the pal. “Oh.”

Nevertheless, weekends are when the Boil Spot boils over — stuffed with patrons pawing with tongs at the buffet bar, stacking seafood, proteins and veg onto plates headed for gurgling vessels and tabletop grills. For $34.95 ($28.95 hot-pot only), the all-you-can-eat affair is comparable in price to other such joints in the city. Of the seven soup bases offered, the spicy chicken-beef broth laced with Sichuan peppercorns was my potent potable of choice. The “bone” base comprised of chicken and beef broth boiled with pork bones was my friend’s. The pots were fired up by our very helpful, and heedful, server while we hit the food line for things to cook, and

condiments and sauces in which to dip them.

No doubt, the number of options is a bit mind-boggling — blue crab, crawfish, frog legs, cuttlefish; there’s fatty beef, lamb, pork belly; and then there are additions like dumplings, lobster balls, duck feet and quail eggs. Heading back to our table, we eyed numerous options on the conveyor belt — bok choy, enoki mush rooms, snow peas, Shanghai noodles, corn and more. Then back to the buf fet table we went to grab barbecue items like bulgogi beef, short ribs, ribeye steak and garlic shrimp.

After setting those plates down, our server placed our selected meats onto the tabletop grill. While they hissed and sizzled, we made one more trip to the sauce and condiment bar to grab banchan bites like kimchi, pickled veg and seaweed salad, and then fashioned our own dipping sauces from a variety of oils and pastes and seasonings.

By now, the gridlock on our table was, admittedly, overwhelm ing, but we navigated around the snarl of plates, bowls, tongs and utensils as best we could with some proper assistance

from our server. She even made us a customized sauce, which we used to dip the grilled meats. Alternating between bites of seared galbi and piping-hot slurps of soup has its inherent risks — thankfully, splatter on my specs was about the worst it got for me.

Now, when it comes to hot pot, the rules are, pardon the pun, fluid. But there are some basics to adhere to: Add root vegetables into the roiling broth first, as they take longer to cook; leafy greens will absorb the flavor of spicier broths; and corn and duck blood are said to lend lighter broths more flavor. Adding a block of the latter into the ruddy, fiery liquor in my pot imparted a deeper color, but no discernible change in taste.

For the most part, the ingredients offered here, be it for hot pot or KBBQ, are fresh to freshish. The only issue I had was with the Korean short ribs — way too chewy to enjoy. And the grills aren’t the mesh ones used at higher-end DIY barbecue joints — but, then again, Boil Spot isn’t trying to be the next Cote Miami.

And about those meats — a charge of $12.95 will be added to your bill for every pound of uneaten meat, so eat your meat! And do it within the two-hour time limit — the clock starts running the moment your chosen soup bases are fired up. Pay no heed to that old adage because, here, a watched pot always boils.

Once Upon a Star — Well, here’s a part of show business you don’t hear about very often: the folks who had to travel across Thailand in the early ’70s to provide live dialogue dubbing for imported films. You don’t hear about them because as soon as Brando was cast in The Godfather, they all committed ritual suicide.

(Netflix)

Premieres Thursday:

Doom Patrol — As the critically lauded and fan-favorite series comes to a close, the team learns that they may not be free from the threat of the zombie Were-Butts.

Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House — Documentary and fright-flick storytelling tactics converge to examine why otherwise sane individuals subject themselves to Russ McKamey’s “extreme” haunted house, where a tour can involve everything from having your bones broken to your teeth ripped out. Here’s one good reason: You spend less time waiting on line than at Halloween Horror Nights. (Hulu)

Mud, Sweat and Tears: Premiership Rugby — A hard-hitting documentary shows what it takes to rise to the top of the English rugby pile.

Premieres Friday:

The Burial — It’s not a Halloween story as you might assume, but rather a based-on-truth portrait of the partnership between a lawyer (Jamie Foxx) and a funeral-home owner (Tommy Lee Jones). Sounds like a good pairing, because if one can’t get you off the hook the other definitely will. (Prime Video)

The Conference — A bunch of Swedes on a business retreat realize they’re being picked off by a serial killer. Remember when the worst you had to deal with on those things was trust falls? (Netflix)

Creepshow — Season 4 includes an appearance by Tom Atkins, who played the abusive father in the first Creepshow movie back in 1982. But if you’re waiting for Ted Danson to return too, don’t hold your breath [snort]. (Shudder)

Everybody Loves Diamonds — Rupert Everett and Malcolm McDowell join some of Italy’s top talent in a comedy heist series based on the 2003 theft of more than $100 million in gems from the Antwerp Diamond Center.

They would have gotten away with it had they just stowed the stuff in a safe-deposit box, but Bob Menendez convinced them suit pockets are a lot more secure. (Prime Video)

Goosebumps — While Max prepares to bet the farm on a Harry Potter series with none of the original cast, a similar treatment is being visited upon the works of R.L. Stine (which seems a safer wager, since he’s the J.K. Rowling who doesn’t hate your kids). Five of the writer’s best-selling books are re-adapted into a new show that sees young sleuths investigating the death of a teen 30 years ago. That was about four years before the first Potter book came out, but give me a week and I’ll figure out a way to blame that harpy anyway. (Disney+ and Hulu)

John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams — The horror icon has broken a 13-year directing hiatus by helming one of the six episodes of this unscripted anthology of true shock stories set in ordinary neighborhoods.

THIS IS IT!

Young Orlando band Better Than This is better than The Strokes

BY MAISIE HANEY

Better Than This are a young Orlando indie band that collectively relocated from Miami barely six months ago, and the City Beautiful’s music scene is so much the better for it.

Even though we’re in the tail end of the “Songs of the Summer” hype season, please believe us: They’re “Better Than” most everything. Though the lineup was drastically different back in 2019, save lead vocalist Nickolai Rushka, this is not to say that Rushka is sole proprietor of the project. Delightfully, it’s the opposite.

The current lineup of Rushka (vocals), Kevin Lorenzo (bass), Joshua Wright (guitar), Karina Nemalceff (synths/vocal) and Nikolas Plant (drums) might be their strongest and most cohesive yet. The proof is in their newest, self-released single “Videotape Dropout,” recorded at Dreamwalker Music Evolution in Gotha.

“For the longest, people viewed Better Than This as just me,” laments Rushka, with another

voice chiming in jokingly, “Nick and the Better Than Thises.”

Rushka continues: “It made me feel like shit, because I wasn’t the only one putting effort into it. With the current lineup it’s been more like … this is a band. Everyone knows that this is Better Than This.”

Rushka takes pains to point out there is no shade toward previous bandmates. “They’re all still my best friends and this is just another era of playing music with my best friends again.”

The camaraderie is evident as the band excitedly talks over each other, fighting to recount when they each came to Orlando and how they got to know each other. It was through music, and then the band, that they found each other.

“I knew Karina was a synth player and vocalist,” says Rushka.

“You only thought I could scream,” quips Nemalceff. “Anyway.”

This Famous Five (with no apologies to Enid

Blyton) fit so well together because of their wildly differing influences, all wading in singular waters. Their interest in music reaches far beyond the indie we know (and love) them to be. Each member has an interest in hardcore and scramz — the OG screamo genre which was humorously described in a Reddit post as “hardcore in fishnets” — but what they listen to individually is enlightening.

Lorenzo is busying himself with compilations delving into samba, bebop and Afro-Cuban music, “my little boost for the day.” Rushka is brushing up on 1990s classics like Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins to break up the d-beat monotony. Nemalceff and Wright, too, seem to be the polar opposites of sound spectrum. Nemalceff is at one end, trying to make the perfect categorical playlists involving the inclusion of smaller projects pivotal to the genre, whereas Wright is completely happy listening to one band all year ’round: “Right now it’s Wallows. Anyone

who knows me, which is these people, knows,” Wright offers. Pressed on how many Wallows shirts he owns, Nemalceff jokes that you would think it was a clothing brand. Plant, finally, has been listening to a variety of instrumental music with uniquely underlined drums, like Battles, Tall Black Guy and Badbadnotgood.

Better Than This plugged a laundry list of Florida bands they adore: Flowers for Emily, 0 Miles per Hour, bed bug guru, Mustard Service, Seagate, Novely, Graves, Pez, The Synthetics and Watts. On Mustard Service and the idea of making music your life and career, Plant is complimentary: “It gives you hope when you’re in a band in Miami and you know who they are, and they tour America … it makes it feel possible and that’s needed.” Some of the members are in school and pursuing dreams outside of music, but the only school Plant is attending is the School of Rock.

A passion for music and community radiates from the group, and we prodded them to comment on the current state of music — in this late-stage capitalist nightmare, how can we encourage people to make music for the right reasons, and how did we get so far away from the righteousness of rock?

“When it comes to new artists,” says Plant, “it’s like some people don’t love it enough. I’m not going to school or anything. It’s so scary if it doesn’t work out, but I love it enough to take the risk.”

Nemalceff came across some wisdom from her anthropology course in a journal about the gothic subculture — how the goth appearance and aesthetic has been gentrified and commodified. “There would have to be a radical change” in our society as a whole, she posits, because it really is shaped by capitalism. “There will always be people who do it to look cool or give off an image, and there will always be people with a passion for what they do. Real recognize real.”

The members of the band care about making connections with people and building community. Rushka is resolute about “making more personal connections whether we’re on or off stage” because “community will always have your back.”

“Videotape Dropout” is a bold new vision of garage rock, with Stroke-y twangs and Metricesque synth-lines that tickle the parts of our brain that were entombed in 2003, nostalgia hovering in the background of a sound that is so progressive for this band. “I think we’re starting to dial [the indie rockness] back a little bit and have a little more of a variety pack,” says Plant, “adding more to it and making it more dynamic.”

The dreamy European indie sound is certainly on the backburner; Better Than This are serving us a fresh hot plate of infectious garage revival with daring leaps outside of predictable song formulas.

Once you give them a listen, you will understand how a young local band might just pack more fans into the Abbey than Black Midi. music@orlandoweekly.com

Tricks and Screams

Drag legend Manila Luzon invites locals (ages 21 +) to Vū Orlando, just in time for Pride Month Part 2: Orlando Edition, to witness a “bewitching” performance by some of Orlando’s fiercest, wickedest drag performers, along with the chance to win $500 cash for best costume, as decided by a panel of judges. (If that’s not enough to get you in the Halloween spirit in this economy, we don’t know what will.) Eight local drag performers — including the elegant and soulful Darcel Stevens, our Best of Orlando® cover star, with Dragula’s Dollya Black, Alexandria, Venus Envy, punk rock king Axel Andrews and Sorcha Mercy — make for an unmissable lineup at Vū, which transforms into a “witch haven” for the onenight-only special occasion of drag, dancing and DJs. A fully stocked bar of potions and elixirs will be available for purchase. A portion of the night’s proceeds supports the Singhaus Scholarship, awarded annually to young LGBTQ+ talent in Central Florida vying to pursue their dreams in the performing arts. 8 p.m., Vū Orlando, 9460 Delegates Drive, tricksandscreams.com, $45-$93.75. — McKenna Schueler

Jonas Brothers

her belt, but the most recent additions to her résumé are the handful of singles she released this year in preparation for what’s next. You may have heard her viral songs “Good Looking” or “To Love” while scrolling through aesthetic compilations on TikTok. In 2022, the singer-songwriter released debut album I Can’t Let Go, through credentialed label Sub Pop, sharing “memories of unrequited love, fits of longing, instances of anxiety” with the world. “The album is called I Can’t Let Go, because for years it felt like I was wearing heavy

In the current underground DIY circuit, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone more eccentric and yet classical than Scott Yoder. Yoder has a knack with a tune, influenced by the likes of solo Syd Barrett and David Bowie circa The Man Who Sold the World. Live, he dons Phantom of the Opera-esque makeup and throws camp poses aplenty, all while shredding on the guitar. Last time he came through, Yoder played solo in front of a glittery backdrop and made it seem as big and full as a band. Oh, and Yoder has an SST-worthy sense of DIY grind — this is his second extensive and self-booked

The Jonas Brothers are on the comeback trail with their very ambitious “Five Albums. One Night” tour, which includes a princely two Orlando shows on each end of a Miami gig. As the tour’s name implies, the Brothers having been playing five complete albums nightly — does this make them the boy-band Grateful Dead? Trippy — at arenas across the country. The five albums up for live airings are Jonas Brothers (2007), A Little Bit Longer (2008), Lines, Vines and Trying Times (2009), Happiness Begins (2019) and this year’s The Album. This band of brothers is playing for keeps. 6:30 p.m., Amway Center, 400 W. Church St., amwaycenter.com, $35.95-$225.45. — MM

Spark Joshi/Mayhem on Mills

Decades ago, wrestling legend Terry Funk (RIP) urged journalist Dave Meltzer to keep a close eye on Japanese women’s wrestling, feeling that these athletes were pushing pro-wrestling forward. It’s 2023 now and Funk is still prescient, and you’ll get a chance to check this out for yourself when new promotion Spark Joshi comes to town for an East-meets-West clash that includes Sumie Sakai, Miu Watanabe, Maika Ozaki and Miyu Yamashita as well as Billie Starkz, Trish Adora and Vipress. Want more? Local fed Mayhem on Mills comes to the Milk District’s Sideward Brewing for a jacked card featuring the champ KiLynn King, Serpentico, Sawyer Wreck, Culture Inc. and many more promising fighters. Ring that damn bell. Spark: 5 p.m., Engelwood Neighborhood Center, 6123 LaCosta Drive, eventbrite. com, $45-$100; MOM: 5 p.m., Sideward Brewing, 210 N.

Kreepy Kandi Krave

The kids, as a semi-notable old man once said, are alright. And that point is expressly evident in the lineup of Tuesday’s Kreepy Kandi Krave. Combining the two symbiotically interlinked expressions of dancing and drag, Kreepy promises a stellar lineup of young, adventurous DJs and drag performers. On the spinning front, there’s DJ Starcial, Rocky, Bitcrusher Boi, Shkyariaaa; while drag comes courtesy Dollya Black, Davi Oddity, Allie Slasher, Mok Basterd, Beatrixxx, Spit Storme, Amnesia E ect and Annie Mae. You’ll recognize some names in there from recent issues, but at the risk of belaboring the point (fools rush in!), Orlando is nurturing

a young crop of promising and wonderfully freaky drag stars-in-the-making, and this is as good a chance as any to get in on the ground

DRAWN BY KIERAN CASTAÑO

OCT. 15

BY ROB BREZSNY

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran philosopher and writer Michel Foucalt aspired to open up his readers’ minds with novel ideas. He said his task was to make windows where there had been walls. I’d like to borrow his approach for your use in the coming weeks. It might be the most fun to demolish the walls that are subdividing your world and keeping you siloed, preventing free and easy interchange. But I suspect that’s unrealistic. What’s more likely is partial success: creating windows in the walls.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): More and more older people are transitioning to different genders. An article in The Guardian (tinyurl. com/gendermeaning) describes how Bethan Henshaw, a warehouse worker, transitioned to female at age 57. Ramses Underhill-Smith became a man in his 40s. With this as your starting point, I invite you to re-evaluate your personal meanings of gender. Please note I’m not implying you should change your designation. Astrological omens simply suggest that you will benefit from expanding your ideas. Here’s Scorpio singer Sophie B. Hawkins, a mother who says she is omnisexual: “My sexuality stems from an emotional connection to someone’s soul. You don’t have to make a gender choice and stick with it.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian author Mark Twain said that in urgent or trying circumstances, uttering profanities “furnishes a relief denied even to prayer.” I will add that these magic words can be downright catalytic and healing — especially for you right now. Here are some situations in which swearing could be therapeutic in the coming weeks. No. 1, when people take themselves too seriously; No. 2, when you need to escape feelings of powerlessness; No. 3, when know-it-alls are trying to limit the range of what can be said; No. 4, when people seem frozen or stunned and don’t know what to do next. In all these cases, well-placed expletives could provide necessary jolts to shift the stuck energy. (P.S. Have fun using other surprises, ploys and twists to shake things up for a good cause.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In Roman mythology, Venus was goddess of love, desire and beauty. Yet modern science tells us the planet Venus is blanketed with sulfuric acid clouds, has a surface temperature of 867 degrees Fahrenheit, and is covered with 85,000 volcanoes. Why are the two Venuses out of sync? Here’s a clue, courtesy of occultist Dion Fortune. She said the goddess Venus is often a disturbing influence in the world, diverting us from life’s serious business. I can personally attest to the ways that my affinity for love, desire and beauty have distracted me from becoming a hard-driving billionaire tech

entrepreneur. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. How about you, Capricorn? I predict that the goddess version of Venus will be extra active in your life during the coming months.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Thousands of heirloom food species are privately owned and hoarded. They once belonged to Indigenous people but haven’t been grown for decades. Descendants of their original owners are trying to get them back and grow them again — a process they call rematriation — but they meet resistance from companies and governmental agencies that commandeered the seeds. There has been some progress, though. The Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin has recovered some of its ancestral corn, beans and squash. Now would be a good time for you Aquarians to launch your own version of rematriation: reclaiming what was originally yours and that truly belongs to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I like Piscean poet Jane Hirshfield’s understanding of what “lies at the core of ritual.” She says it’s “the entrance into a mystery that can be touched but not possessed.” My wish for you right now, Pisces, is that you will experience mysteries that can be touched but not possessed. To do so will give you direct access to prime riddles at the heart of your destiny. You will commune with sublime conundrums that rouse deep feelings and rich insights, none of which are fully explicable by your logical mind. Please consider performing a homemade sacred ritual or two.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Indigenous Semai people of Malaysia have an unusual taboo. They try hard not to cause unhappiness in others. This makes them reluctant to impose their wishes on anyone. Even parents hesitate to force their children to do things. I recommend you experiment with this practice. Now is an excellent time to refine your effect on people to be as benevolent and welcoming as possible. Don’t worry — you won’t have to be this kind and sweet forever. But doing so temporarily could generate timely enhancements in your relationship life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Shakespeare reshaped the English language. He coined hundreds of words and revised the meanings of hundreds more. Idioms like “green-eyed monster” and “milk of human kindness” originated with him. But the Bard also created some innovations that didn’t last. “Recover the wind” appeared in Hamlet, but never came into wide use. Other failures include “Would you take eggs for money?” and “from smoke to smother.” Still, Shakespeare’s final tally of enduring neologisms is impressive.

With this vignette, I’m inviting you to celebrate how many more successes than flops you have had. The time is right for realistic self-praise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I hope beauty will be your priority in the coming weeks. I hope you will seek out beauty, celebrate it and commune with it adoringly. To assist your efforts, I offer these five gems. No. 1: “Whatever you love is beautiful; love comes first, beauty follows. The greater your capacity for love, the more beauty you find in the world.” — Jane Smiley. No. 2: “The world is incomprehensibly beautiful — an endless prospect of magic and wonder.” — Ansel Adams. No. 3: “A beautiful thing is never perfect.” — Egyptian proverb. No. 4: “You can make the world beautiful just by refusing to lie about it.” — Iain S. Thomas. No: 5: “Beauty isn’t a special inserted sort of thing. It is just life, pure life, life nascent, running clear and strong.” — H. G. Wells.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I read a review that described a certain movie as having “a soft, tenuous incandescence — like fog lit by the glow of fireflies.” That sounds like who you are these days, Cancerian. You’re mysterious yet luminous; hard to decipher but overflowing with life energy; fuzzy around the edges but radiating warmth and well-being. I encourage you to remain faithful to this assignment for now. It’s not a state you will inhabit forever, but it’s what’s needed and true for the foreseeable future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The published work of Leo author Thomas de Quincey fills 14 volumes. He inspired superstar writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, Nikolai Gogol and Jorge Luis Borges. Yet he also ingested opium for 54 years and was often addicted. Cultural historian Mike Jay says de Quincey was not self-medicating or escaping reality, but rather keen on “exploring the hidden recesses of his mind.” He used it to dwell in states of awareness that were otherwise unattainable. I don’t encourage you to take drugs or follow de Quincey’s path, Leo. But I believe the time is right to explore the hidden recesses of your mind via other means. Like what? Working with your nightly dreams? Meditating your ass off? Having soul-altering sex with someone who wants to explore hidden recesses, too? Any others?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo journalist H.L. Mencken said, “The average person doesn’t want to be free. He wants to be safe.” There’s some truth in that, but I believe it will be irrelevant for you in the coming months. According to my analysis, you can be both safer and freer than you’ve been in a long time. I hope you take full advantage! Brainstorm about unexpected feats you might be able to accomplish during this state of grace.
