magine a place where a passion for creativity meets an education designed to launch your career. For almost 20 years, Orlando’s F.I.R.S.T. Institute has been doing just that. Co-founders Alan Forbes and Donney Smith started as two local media professionals teaching inside just 800-square-feet. Since then, F.I.R.S.T. Institute has evolved into a premier creative educational force and cutting-edge 30,000-square-foot facility with almost a hundred experienced faculty and associates and thousands of graduates. “We planned this new facility for over a year to make sure everything was cohesive and flowed,” F.I.R.S.T. Institute co-founder Alan Forbes said. “We worked hard to create the best learning environment for our students.” Last year, F.I.R.S.T. ‘s brand new campus in the greater Orlando area’s Maitland became an absolute dream-come-true for anyone looking to get started in the media industry. “Our beautiful facility comes equipped with two custom recording studios, a live sound production studio, and a ton of professional production labs,” Forbes said.“We’ve even got a central courtyard for students to unwind and connect between classes without even having to leave campus. Every workspace, from classrooms to production studios, was designed with our students in mind.” Forbes says the F.I.R.S.T. Institute’s educational philosophy is simple and proven, “hear it, see it, do it.” Students can choose from three interactive programs: Recording Arts & Show Production, Digital Filmmaking & Video Production, or Graphic Design & Web Development. Classes are available in-person or online through F.I.R.S.T. ‘s own unique approach called IDL or Interactive Distance Learning. “This isn’t your traditional online program where you’re just watching videos and reading content,”

Forbes said. “These are live instructor-led classes every day.” F.I.R.S.T. Institute worked hard to ensure its remote students had the same innovative learning method as it does for those in the classroom. “When students enroll into any of our online programs, they’ll get a creative P.A.K., or personal academic kit,” Forbes said. “That brings consistency and supports them having the necessary equipment at home to be successful.” And with class sizes of around 18-20 students, F.I.R.S.T. Institute gives its students a competitive advantage through individualized instruction. “We offer a smaller and more intimate setting,” Forbes said. “And there are no general education requirements to graduate, so students can come in and focus on their majors from day one.” Graduates complete their education in just 11 months, and for a fraction of the cost for similar programs. “Not only do we offer incredibly competitive tuition,” Forbes said, “but students graduate in less time, and all of that time is spent on their major.” F.I.R.S.T. takes quality education seriously and is licensed by the Florida Department of Education and the Commission for Independent Education (CIE) and accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education & Training (ACCET). F.I.R.S.T. Institute graduates are award-winning and work nationally and internationally on some of the most important creative projects out there right now. For creatives looking to make their work a reality, F.I.R.S.T Institute has the educational tools to do just that. “We’re proud to be a big school now, but we came from honest beginnings,” Forbes said. “We feel fortunate to be able to attract students from all over the world to learn how to do this kind of work, and we’re excited to keep growing.”

Charlie Crist speaks out against the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Orlando, teenager dies after fall from Icon Park ride and more news you might have missed »

Suspected Sanford mosque killer believed he was protecting property of Julius Caesar The suspected killer of a maintenance man at Sanford’s Husseini Islamic Center has been shot by police in Indian River County. According to authorities, 38-year-old Ahmed Raslan is suspected of killing an as-yet unnamed 59-year-old worker at the mosque last Thursday. Social media posts from the suspect indicate he thought he was going to the mosque to reclaim the property of Julius Caesar. Raslan drove away in the victim’s vehicle and was found by Indian River deputies in the parking lot of a Sam’s Club. Body camera footage shows the altercation between Raslan and police, where police shot the suspect multiple times. He is currently hospitalized.

Teenager dies after fall from tower ride at Orlando’s Icon Park

Florida fights against allowing DNA testing for Orange County Death Row inmate

A 14-year-old has died after falling from Icon Park’s recently opened freefall tower ride. Authorities were called to the park on International Drive late last Thursday, following the incident. Video from before the ride leaves the ground show riders questioning if the ride has a seatbelt. (It does not.) As it lifts off, a voice can be heard yelling from the ground about seatbelts. Graphic videos from the scene show the child coming loose from the ride’s seats as it drops and falling to the ground. The 14-year-old was taken to an area hospital where he later died of his injuries. The fall is the second deadly accident in two years at the Orlando park. A construction worker performing a check on the park’s Starflyer attraction fell in 2020.

In a case involving a man who has been on Death Row for more than four decades, Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office and the inmate’s lawyers are battling in the Florida Supreme Court about allowing DNA testing of evidence. Moody’s office is objecting to an agreement that Orlando-area State Attorney Monique Worrell reached last year with lawyers for Death Row inmate Henry Sireci to allow the DNA testing. Moody’s office appealed to the Supreme Court after an Orange County circuit judge issued an order approving the release of evidence for testing. Sireci’s attorneys filed a 76-page brief last Thursday countering the state’s objection, saying state attorneys have discretion to allow DNA testing in cases where inmates argue they are innocent. Sireci, 73, was sentenced to death in the 1975 murder of used-car dealer Howard Poteet, but has maintained that he did not kill Poteet. “Every time an innocent person is in prison or on Death Row, the person who actually committed the crime has not been brought to justice. Thus, wrongful convictions harm not just core principles of justice and due process, but the safety of the public,” Sireci’s lawyers’ brief said.

New Orlando monument honors first interracial Little League baseball game played in the South A monument honoring the first interracial Little League baseball game played in the South was unveiled at Lake Lorna Doone Park last Thursday. The monument, called “Barrier Breakers,” celebrates a game between the Pensacola Jaycees and the Orlando Kiwanis from 1955. The bronze monument is of two 12-year-old boys, one Black and one white, in uniforms representing the two teams. Players who were a part of the historic game were present for the ceremony, as were Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and City Commissioner Regina Hill. The monument was commissioned by the Edward E. Haddock Jr. Family Foundation.

Charlie Crist, local representatives speak out against ‘Don’t Say Gay’ legislation in Orlando Florida gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist said that the “Don’t Say Gay” bill is wrong, unconscionable and hurts Florida’s students, teachers and the LGTBQ+ community during a panel discussion at UCF last Wednesday. Crist was joined at the “Say Gay” event by Orlando-area State Reps. Anna Eskamani and Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, LQBTQ+ activists and UCF students to speak out against the bill after it passed the Florida Legislature earlier this month. “‘Don’t Say Gay’ is a heinous piece of legislation that silences teachers in their own classrooms and takes away the safe spaces of millions of LGBTQ students who may have no where else to turn,” Crist said. The bill passed the state Senate on March 8 and was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday. orlandoweekly.com ● MARCH 30-APRIL 5, 2022 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

Recognizing the Worst in Government Transparency this year, Compiled by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and MuckRock News Illustrations by Caitlyn Crites

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● MARCH 30-APRIL 5, 2022 ● orlandoweekly.com

Each year during Sunshine Week (March 13-19), The Foilies serve up tongue-in-cheek “awards” for government agencies and assorted institutions that stand in the way of access to public information. The Electronic Frontier Foundation and MuckRock combine forces to collect horror stories about Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and state-level public records requests from journalists and transparency advocates across the United States and beyond. Our goal is to identify the most surreal document redactions, the most aggravating copy fees, the most outrageous retaliation attempts and all the other ridicule-worthy attacks on the public’s right to know. And every year since 2015, as we’re about to crown these dubious winners, something new comes to light that makes us consider stopping the presses. As we were writing up this year’s faux-wards, news broke that officials from the National Archives and Records Administration had to lug away boxes upon boxes of Trump administration records from Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s private resort. At best, it was an inappropriate move; at worst, a potential violation of laws governing the retention of presidential records and the handling of classified materials. And while Politico had reported that when Trump was still in the White House, he liked to tear up documents, we also just learned from journalist Maggie Haberman’s new book that staff claimed to find toilets clogged up with paper scraps, which were potentially torn-up government records. Trump has dismissed the allegations, of course. This was all too deliciously ironic, considering how much Trump had raged about his opponent (and 2016 Foilies winner) Hillary Clinton’s practice of storing State Department communications on a private server. Is storing potentially classified correspondence on a personal email system any worse than hoarding top secret documents at a golf club? Is “acid washing” records, as Trump accused Clinton, any less farcical than flushing them down the john? Ultimately, we decided not to give Trump his seventh Foilie. Technically, he isn’t eligible: His presidential records won’t be subject to FOIA until he’s been out of office for five years (and releasing classified records could take years, or decades, if ever). Instead, we’re sticking with our original 16 winners, from federal agencies to small-town police departments to a couple of corporations, who are all shame-worthy in their own right and, at least metaphorically, have no problem tossing government transparency in the crapper.

THE C.R.E.A.M. (CRAP REDACTIONS EVERYWHERE AROUND ME) AWARD: U.S. MARSHALS

The Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothing to F with … unless the F stands for FOIA. Back in 2015, Wu-Tang Clan recorded an album called Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, but they only produced one copy, and they sold that copy to the highest bidder: pharma-bro Martin Shkreli, who was later convicted of securities fraud. When the U.S. Marshals seized Shkreli’s copy of the album under asset forfeiture rules, the Twitterverse debated whether you could use FOIA to obtain the super-secret album. Unfortunately, FOIA does not work that way. However, BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold was able to use the law to obtain documents about the album when it was auctioned off through the asset forfeiture process. For example, he got photos of the album, the bill of sale and the purchase agreement. But the Marshals redacted the pictures of the CDs, the song titles, and the lyric book citing FOIA’s trade secrets exemption. Worst of all, they also refused to divulge the purchase price —even though we’re talking about public money. And so here we are, bringing da motherFOIA-ing ruckus. (The New York Times would later reveal that PleasrDAO, a collective that collects digital NFT art, paid $4 million for the record.) Wu-Tang’s original terms for selling the album reportedly contained a clause that required the buyer to return all rights in the event that Bill Murray successfully pulled off a heist of the record. We can only daydream about how the Marshals would’ve responded if Dr. Peter Venkman himself refiled Leopold’s request.

THE OPERATION SLUG SPEED AWARD: U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION

The federal government’s lightning-fast (by bureaucratic standards) timeline to authorize Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine lived up to its Operation Warp Speed name. But the Food and Drug Administration gave anything but the same treatment to a FOIA request seeking data about that authorization process. Fifty-five years — that’s how long the FDA, responding to a lawsuit filed by doctors and health scientists, said it would take to process and release the data it used to authorize the vaccine. And yet, the FDA needed only months to review the data the first time and confirm that the vaccine was safe for the public.

The estimate was all the more galling because the requesters want to use the documents to help persuade skeptics that the vaccine is safe and effective, a time-sensitive goal as we head into the third year of the pandemic. Thankfully, the court hearing the FOIA suit nixed the FDA’s snail’s-pace plan to review just 500 pages of documents a month. In February, the court ordered the FDA to review 10,000 pages for the next few months and ultimately between 50,000-80,000 through the rest of the year.

THESE 10-DAY DEADLINES GO TO 11 AWARD: ASSORTED MASSACHUSETTS AGENCIES

Most records requesters know that despite nearly every transparency law imposing response deadlines, they are violated more often than they are met. Yet Massachusetts officials’ time-warping violations of the state’s 10-business-day deadline take this public records reality to absurd new levels. DigBoston’s Maya Shaffer detailed how officials are giving themselves at least one extra business day to respond to requests while still claiming to meet the law’s deadline. In a mindnumbing exchange, an official said that the agency considers any request sent after 5 p.m. to have technically been received on the next business day. And because the law doesn’t require agencies to respond until 10 business days after they’ve received the request, this has in effect given the agency two extra days to respond. So if a request is sent after 5 p.m. on a Monday, the agency counts Tuesday as the day it received the request, meaning the 10-day clock doesn’t start until Wednesday. The theory is reminiscent of the This Is Spinal Tap scene in which guitarist Nigel Tufnel shows off the band’s “special” amplifiers that go “one louder” to 11, rather than maxing out at 10 like every other amp. When asked why Spinal Tap doesn’t just make the level 10 on its amps louder, Tufnel stares blankly before repeating: “These go to 11.” Although the absurdity of Tufnel’s response is comedic gold, Massachusetts officials’ attempt to make their 10-day deadline go to 11 is contemptuous, and also likely violates laws of the state as well as those of space and time.

THE RETURN TO SENDER AWARD: VIRGINIA DELEGATE PAUL KRIZEK

There are lawmakers who find problems in transparency laws and advocate for improving the public’s right to know. Then there’s Virginia lawmaker Paul Krizek. Krizek introduced a bill earlier this year that would require all public records requests to be sent via certified mail, saying that he “saw a problem that needed fixing,” according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The supposed problem? A records request emailed to Krizek got caught in his spam filter, and he was nervous that he missed the response deadline. That never happened; the requester sent another email that Krizek saw, and he responded in time. Anyone else might view that as a public records (and technology) success story: The ability to email requests and quickly follow up on them proves that the law works. Not Krizek. He decided that his personal spam filter hiccup proved the state should require every requester in Virginia to venture to a post office and pay at least $3.75 to make their request. Transparency advocates quickly panned the bill, and a legislative committee voted in late January to strike it from the docket. Hopefully the bill stays dead and Krizek starts working on legislation that will actually help requesters in Virginia.

THE SPYING ON REQUESTERS AWARD: FBI

If government surveillance of ordinary people is chilling, spying on the public watchdogs of that very same surveillance is downright hostile. Between 1989 and at least 2004, the FBI kept regular tabs on the National Security Archive, a domestic nonprofit organization that investigates and archives information on, you guessed it, national security operations. The Cato Institute obtained records showing that the FBI used electronic and physical surveillance, possibly including wiretaps and “mail covers,” meaning the U.S. Postal Service recorded the information on the outside of envelopes sent to or from the Archive. In a secret 1989 cable, then-FBI Director William Sessions called out the Archive’s “tenacity” in using FOIA. Sessions specifically fretted over former Department of Justice Attorney Quinlan J. Shea and former Washington Post reporter Scott Armstrong’s leading roles at the Archive, as both were major transparency advocates. Of course, these records that Cato got through its own FOIA request were themselves heavily redacted. And this comes after the FBI withheld information about these records from the Archive when it requested them back in 2006. Which makes you wonder: How do we watchdog the spy who is secretly spying on the watchdog?

THE FUTILE SECRECY AWARD: CONCORD POLICE DEPARTMENT

When reporters from the Concord Monitor in 2019 noticed a vague $5,100 line item in the Concord Police Department’s proposed budget for “covert secret communications,” they did what any good watchdog would do — they started asking questions. What was the technology? Who was the vendor? And they filed public records requests under New Hampshire’s Right to Know Law. In response, CPD provided a license agreement and a privacy policy, but the documents were so redacted, the reporters still couldn’t tell what the tech was and what company was receiving tax dollars for it. Police claimed releasing the information would put investigations and people’s lives at risk. With the help of the ACLU of New Hampshire, the Monitor sued, but Concord fought it for two years all the way to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The police were allowed to brief the trial court behind closed doors, without the ACLU lawyers present, CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

THE FOIA GASLIGHTER OF THE YEAR AWARD: LOUISIANA ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF LANDRY In another case involving the Times-Picayune, the FOIA Gaslighter of the Year award goes to Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry — for suing reporter Andrea Gallo after she requested documents related to the investigation into (and seeming lack of action on) sexual harassment complaints in Landry’s office. A few days later, following public criticism, Landry then tweeted that the lawsuit was not actually a lawsuit against Gallo per se, but legal action “simply asking the Court to check our decision” on rejecting her records request. Gallo filed the original request for complaints against Pat Magee, a top aide to Landry, after hearing rumblings that Magee had been placed on administrative leave. The first response to Gallo’s request was that Magee was under investigation and the office couldn’t fulfill the request until that investigation had concluded. A month later, Gallo called the office to ask for Magee and was patched through to his secretary, who said that Magee had just stepped out for lunch but would be back shortly. Now armed with the knowledge that Magee was back in the office — and the investigation likely concluded — Gallo started pushing harder for the records. Then, late on a Friday when Gallo was on deadline for another story, she received an email from the AG’s office about a lawsuit naming her as the defendant. A month later, a Baton Rouge judge ruled in favor of Gallo and ordered Landry to release the records on Magee. Shortly after Gallo received those documents, another former employee of the AG’s office filed a complaint against Magee, resulting in his resignation. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13

and ultimately the state supreme court ruled most of the information would remain secret. But when the Monitor reached out to EFF for comment, EFF took another look at the redacted documents. In under three minutes, our researchers were able to use a simple Google search to match the redacted privacy policy to Callyo, a Motorola Solutions product that facilitates confidential phone communications. Hundreds of agencies nationwide have in fact included the company’s name in their public spending ledgers, according to the procurement research tool GovSpend. The City of Seattle even issued a public privacy impact assessment regarding its police department’s use of the technology, which noted that “Without appropriate safeguards, this raises significant privacy concerns.” Armed with this new information, the Monitor called Concord Police Chief Brad Osgood to confirm what we learned. He doubled down: “I’m not going to tell you whether that’s the product.”

THE HIGHEST FEE ESTIMATE AWARD: PASCO COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

In September 2020, the Tampa Bay Times revealed in a multi-part series that the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office was using a program called “Intelligence-led Policing” (ILP). This program took into consideration a bunch of data gathered from various local government agencies, including school records, to determine if a person was likely to commit a crime in the future — and if so, according to this spurious prediction formula, deputies would drop by their house randomly but repeatedly to harass them. Out of suspicion that the sheriff’s office might be leasing the formula for this program to other departments, EFF filed a public records request asking for any contact mentioning the ILP program in emails specifically sent to and from other police departments. The sheriff responded with an unexpectedly high cost estimate for producing the records. Claiming there was no way at all to clarify or narrow the broad request, they projected that it would take 82,738 hours to review the 4,964,278 responsive emails — generating a cost of $1.158 million for the public records requester, the equivalent of a 3,000-square seaside home with its own private dock in New Port Richey.

THE RIP VAN WINKLE AWARD: FBI

Last year, Bruce Alpert received records from a 12-year-old FOIA request he filed as a reporter for the Times-Picayune in New Orleans. Back when he filed the request, the corruption case of U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, was still hot — despite the $90,000 in cold cash found in Jefferson’s freezer. In 2009, Alpert requested documents from the FBI on the sensational investigation of Jefferson, which began in 2005. In the summer of that year, FBI agents searched Jefferson’s Washington home and, according to a story published at the time, discovered foil-wrapped stacks of cash “between boxes of Boca burgers and Pillsbury pie crust in his Capitol Hill townhouse.” Jefferson was indicted on 16 federal counts, including bribery, racketeering, conspiracy and money laundering, leading back to a multimillion-dollar telecommunications deal with high-ranking officials in Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon. By the time Alpert got the 83 pages he requested on the FBI’s investigation into Jefferson, Alpert himself was retired and Jefferson had been released from prison. Still, the documents did reveal a new fact about the day of the freezer raid: Another raid was planned for that same day, but at Jefferson’s congressional office. This raid was called off after an FBI official, unnamed in the documents, warned that while the raid was technically constitutional, it could have “dire” consequences if it appeared to threaten the independence of Congress. In a staff editorial about the extreme delay, The Advocate (which acquired the TimesPicayune in 2019) quoted Anna Diakun, a staff attorney with the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University: “The Freedom of Information Act is broken.” We suppose it’s better late than never, but never late is even better.

THE REDACTING INFORMATION THAT’S ALREADY PUBLIC AWARD: HUMBOLDT-AREA LAW ENFORCEMENT

Across the country, police departments are notorious for withholding information from the public. Some agencies take months to release body camera footage after a shooting death. Others withhold databases of officer misconduct. California’s state legislature pushed back against this trend in 2018, with a new law that specifically puts officer use-of-force incidents and other acts of dishonesty under the purview of the California Public Records Act. But even after this law was passed, one Northern California sheriff was hesitant to release information to journalists — so hesitant that the sheriff redacted information that had already been made public. After a local paper, the North Coast Journal, filed a request with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office under the 2018 law, the sheriff took two full years to provide the requested records. Why the long delay? One possible reason: The agency went to the trouble of redacting information from old press releases — releases that, by definition, were already public. For example, the sheriff’s office redacted the name of a suspect who allegedly shot a sheriff’s deputy and was arrested for attempting to kill a police officer in May 2014 — including blacking out the suspect’s name from a press release the agency had already released (a press release that included the suspect’s name). And it’s not like the press had accidentally missed the name the first time: Reporter Thadeus Greenson had published the release in the North Coast Journal right after it came out. That isn’t Greenson’s only example of law enforcement redacting already public information. In response to another public records request, the Eureka Police Department included a series of news clippings, including one of Greenson’s own articles, again with names redacted.

THE CLEAR BULLY AWARD: CLEARVIEW AI

Clearview AI is the “company that might end privacy as we know it,” claimed the New York Times’ front page when it publicly exposed the small company in January 2020. Clearview had built a face recognition app on a database of more than 3 billion personal images, and the tech startup had quietly found customers in police departments around the country. Soon after the initial reports, the legality of Clearview’s app and its collection of images was challenged in court. (EFF has filed friend-of-the-court briefs in support of those privacy lawsuits.) Clearview’s existence was initially revealed via public records requests filed by Open the Government and MuckRock. In September 2021, as it faced still-ongoing litigation in Illinois, Clearview made an unusual and worrying move against transparency and journalism: It served subpoenas on Open the Government, its researcher Freddy Martinez, and Chicagobased Lucy Parsons Labs (none of which are involved in the lawsuit). The subpoenas requested internal communications with journalists about Clearview and its leaders and any information that had been discovered via records requests about the company. Government accountability advocates saw it as retaliation against the researchers and journalists who exposed Clearview. The subpoena also was a chilling threat to journalists and others looking to lawfully use public records to learn about public partnerships with private entities. What’s more, in this situation, all that had been uncovered had already been made public online more than a year earlier. Fortunately, following reporting by Politico, Clearview, citing “further reflection about the scope of the subpoenas” and a “strong view of freedom of the press,” decided to withdraw the subpoenas. We guess you could say the facial recognition company recognized their error and did an about-face.

DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO AWARD: TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON

Texas law requires a unique detour to deny or redact responsive records, directing agencies to go through the Attorney General for permission to leave anything out. It’s bad news for transparency if that office circumvents proper protocol when handling its own records requests; it’s even worse if those records involve a government official — current Texas AG Ken Paxton — and activities targeted at overthrowing the democratic process. On Jan. 6, 2021, Paxton (who is currently up for re-election, facing multiple charges for securities fraud, and was reportedly the subject of a 2020 FBI investigation) and his wife were in Washington, D.C., to speak at a rally in support of former President Donald Trump, which was followed by the infamous invasion of the Capitol by Trump supporters. Curious about Paxton’s part in that historic event, a coalition of Texas newspapers submitted a request under the state’s public records law for the text messages and emails Paxton sent that day in D.C. Paxton’s office declined to release the records. It may not have even looked for them. The newspapers found that the AG doesn’t seem to have its own policy for searching for responsive documents on personal devices, which would certainly be subject to public records law, even if the device is privately owned. The Travis County District Attorney subsequently determined that Paxton’s office had indeed violated the Texas open records law. Paxton maintains that no wrongdoing occurred and, as of late February, hadn’t responded to a letter sent by the DA threatening a lawsuit if the situation is not remedied ASAP. “When the public official responsible for enforcing public records laws violates those laws himself,” Bill Aleshire, an Austin lawyer, told the Austin American-Statesman, “it puts a dagger in the heart of transparency at every level in Texas.”

THE TRANSPARENCY PENALTY FLAG AWARD: BIG 10 CONFERENCE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15

Waymo, owned by Google parent Alphabet Inc. and operator of an autonomous taxi fleet in San Francisco, answers, respectively: “none of your business” and “no!” And a California trial court concurred, ruling in late February that Waymo gets to keep this information secret. Waymo sued the California Department of Motor Vehicles to stop it from releasing unredacted records requested by an anonymous person under the California Public Records Act. The records include Waymo’s application to put its self-driving cars on the road and its answers to the DMV’s follow-up questions. The DMV outsourced the redactions to Waymo, and claiming that it needed to protect its trade secrets, Waymo sent the records back with black bars over most of its answers, and even many of the DMV’s questions. Waymo doesn’t want the public to know which streets its cars operate on, how the cars safely park when picking up and dropping off passengers, and when the cars require trained human drivers to intervene. Waymo even redacted which of its two models — a Jaguar and a Chrysler — will be deployed on California streets … even though someone on those streets can see that for themselves.

#WNTDWPREA (THE WHAT NOT TO DO WITH PUBLIC RECORDS EVER AWARD): ANCHORAGE POLICE DEPARTMENT

“What Not to Do Wednesday,” a social media series from the Anchorage Police Department, had been an attempt to provide lighthearted lessons for avoiding arrest. The weekly shaming session regularly featured seemingly real situations that required a police response. Last February, though, the agency became its own cautionary tale when one particularly controversial post prompted community criticism and records requests, which APD declined to fulfill. As described in a pre-Valentine’s Day #WNTDW post, officers responded to a call about a physical altercation between two “lovebirds.” The post claimed APD officers told the two to “be nice” and go on their way, but instead the situation escalated: “We ended up in one big pile on the ground,” and one person was ultimately arrested and charged. Some in the public found the tone of the post dismissive toward what could have been a domestic violence event — particularly notable because then-Police Chief Justin Doll had pointed to domestic violence as a contributor to the current homicide rates, which had otherwise been declining. Alaska’s News Source requested the name of the referenced arrested individual and was denied. APD claimed that it does not release additional information related to “What Not To Do Wednesday” posts. A subsequent request was met with a $6,400 fee. FWIW, materials related to WNTDW do not qualify for a valid exemption under Alaska’s public records law. By the end of February 2021, the APD decided to do away with the series. “I think if you have an engagement strategy that ultimately creates more concern than it does benefit, then it’s no longer useful,” Chief Doll later said. It’s not clear if APD is also applying this logic to its records process.

In the face of increasing public interest, administrators at the Big 10 sporting universities tried to take a page out of the ol’ college playbook last year and run some serious interference on the public records process. In an apparent attempt to “hide the ball” (that is, their records on when football would be coming back), university leaders suggested to one another that they communicate via a portal used across universities. Reporters and fans saw the move as an attempt to avoid the prying eyes of avid football fans and others who wanted to know more about what to expect on the field and in the classroom. “I would be delighted to share information, but perhaps we can do this through the Big 10 portal, which will assure confidentiality?” Wisconsin Chancellor Rebecca Blank shared via email. “Just FYI — I am working with Big Ten staff to move the conversation to secure Boardvantage web site we use for league materials,” Mark Schlissel, then-President of the University of Michigan, wrote his colleagues. “Will advise.” Of course, the emails discussing the attempted circumvention became public via a records request. Officials’ attempt to disguise their secrecy play was even worse than a quarterback forgetting to pretend to hand off the ball in a play-action pass. University administrators claimed that the use of the private portal was for ease of communication rather than concerns over public scrutiny. We’re still calling a penalty, however.

THE REMEDIAL EDUCATION AWARD: FAIRFAX COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Once a FOIA is released, the First Amendment generally grants broad leeway to the requester to do what they will with the materials. It’s the agency’s job to properly review, redact and release records in a timely manner. But after Callie Oettinger and Debra Tisler dug into a series of student privacy breaches by Fairfax County Public Schools, the school decided the quickest way to fix the problem was to hide the evidence. Last September, the pair received a series of letters from the school system and a high-priced law firm demanding they remove the documents from the web and return or destroy the documents. The impulse to try to silence the messenger is a common one: A few years ago, Foilies partner MuckRock was on the receiving end of a similar demand in Seattle. While the tactics don’t pass constitutional muster, they work well enough to create headaches and uncertainty for requesters who often find themselves thrust into a legal battle they weren’t looking to fight. In fact, in this case, after the duo showed up for the initial hearing, a judge ordered a temporary restraining order barring the further publication of documents. This was despite the fact that they had actually removed all the personally identifiable data from the versions of the documents they posted. Fortunately, soon after the prior restraint, the requesters received pro bono legal assistance from Timothy Sandefur of the Goldwater Institute and Ketan Bhirud of Troutman Pepper. In November — after two months of legal wrangling, negative press and legal bills for the school — the court found the school’s arguments “simply not relevant” and “almost frivolous,” as the Goldwater Institute noted. The Foilies were compiled by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (Director of Investigations Dave Maass, Senior Staff Attorney Aaron Mackey, Frank Stanton Fellow Mukund Rathi, Investigative Researcher Beryl Lipton and Policy Analyst Matthew Guariglia) and MuckRock (Co-founder Michael Morisy, Senior Reporting Fellows Betsy Ladyzhets and Dillon Bergin, and Investigations Editor Derek Kravitz), with further review and editing by Shawn Musgrave.

Garth Brooks Camping World Stadium Saturday, March 26

n a crisp and cool Saturday night, legendary country singer Garth Brooks held court at Camping World Stadium and reminded the audience why he is one of the greats. Brooks reveled in the moment — interacting with fans’ signs, singing two acoustic ballads in a row just to hear 70,000 of his friends (in low places) sing along with him, and at one point even walking off stage to hug a superfan. In Brooks’ own words, “It’s the one thing that matters. Love, man!” The crowd reciprocated that love. See J.D. Casto’s full gallery at orlandoweekly.com. PHOTO BY J.D. CASTO

Indeed, cap, and the laughter rolls phones are as ubiquitous on down the line much to the embarrassment of the order-taking host. as posing influencers, but as much as the The “Black Ox,” in case you’re wondering, I-Drive noodle joint is about photogenics, it’s is in reference to a pho bowl with slow-roast- more about the boffo bowls of pho. The restaurant is the brainchild of ed oxtail, eye round steak and brisket ($16). And if you’re confused reading this, just say Marshall and Joy Phanthachit, the husbandand-wife tandem behind Sticky Rice Lao “Black Ox” fast and you’ll catch on. “What about the White Chicks?” I ask in Street Food and the Soupa Saiyan franchise, a lowered voice, pointing to the menu item so you know the soups will impress. And with chicken and udon noodles in a beef they do.

PHOTO BY ROB BARTLETT

The beef broth in the “White Chicks” ($13) teems with so much white, dark and fatty chicken that we swore the pho’s base was a chicken broth. Turns out TPH only offers two bases — a beef broth and a mushroombased veggie broth. The latter is used in the Shanghai dumpling soup ($15), another signature bowl, but one with ramen noodles, bok choy, mushrooms, and a mix of chicken and veggie dumplings topped with plenty of fried garlic and fried scallions. We chopstick the dumplings and they’re gone in a matter of seconds, but an appetizer of spicy pork dumplings ($6) help fill the void. There are also numerous rolls and stir-fry noodles from which to choose, and we chose right with crunchy and bracing spicy tuna summer rolls ($7.50) and the kimchi udon noodles with poached egg and brisket ($13) though, really, it’s all about pho here. You can go traditional with a simple and satisfying bowl of pho tai ($12), or bling it up proper with the “Pho King,” a $45 soup with filet mignon, lobster and foie gras. The six ounces of sliced filet in the bowl of “Pho-let Mignon” ($25) with rice noodles were perfectly char-grilled. Included in the price was a tableside pour of broth, and boy was it a loooong pour. Took about 45 seconds before we could dig in, but it was well worth the wait. And, yes, Twenty Pho Hour is open 24 hours a day, but only on Fridays and Saturdays (for now). They’ve only been open for three months and are still finding their feet. When they’re busy, like on the Saturday night we visited, things can slow and cleanup can lag. But if there’s one thing we gleaned from dining in this two-dimensional space, it’s that it helps to have a little perspective.

Camille, the French-Vietnamese concept by chef Tung Phan, will move into a permanent home in Baldwin Park this fall. Phan’s tasting-menu-only pop-up, the first of Domu Lab’s chef/restaurant incubator program at the Neighbors at East End Market, will take over a space previously occupied by Ocean Poke at 4962 New Broad St. ... Plantees, the vegan burger and shake joint in the converted Mills Avenue Coin Laundry near Will’s Pub, is shooting for an April 15 opening ...

The cantina will serve everything from mezcal cocktails to quesabirria with marinated lamb (yes!) ... Puerto Rican chain Cafe Don Juan could start serving its tostadas, empanadas and coffee out of the City Place mixed-use complex across the street from Krispy Kreme in Winter Park this week ... Chef John Tesar’s highly lauded Knife Burger concept will soft open this weekend at the RitzCarlton Grande Lakes. The star bakers at Le Ky Patisserie inside the Hourglass Social House have closed shop. Their lease ended and they opted to close. … Californian chain Cupid’s Hot Dogs’ first location out of their home state and here in Orlando, on 1515 Lee Road, is in soft opening mode.

1921 MOUNT DORA 14 BIS PIZZERIA The aviation-themed pizzeria has a geekycool interior, but it’s the sugar-crusted pizzas that lure in scores of Brazilian pizza hounds. Toppings range from the unorthodox (sweet corn, catupiry, olives with pits) to the traditional, but you’ll want to use a fork and knife. Smaller topping-filled sfihas are also a draw and make ideal dessert endings. Closed Monday. (reviewed March 23) 2869 Wilshire Drive, 407-777-1414, 14bispizzeria.com, $$

YUMMY TASTE Sichuan restaurant in East Orlando does all the fiery staples of the regional Chinese cuisine well — from la zi ji chicken to sour-and-spicy slivered potatoes. Indulging in an infernal bowl of “boiled pots fish” is worth a visit alone, though the less volcanic “beef fillets with tofu pudding” will induce vigorous scarfing as well.

IT’S MY LIFE

PHOTO BY ELIJAH DOSS

Orlando singer Casey Conroy reflects on a year of big moves and new music BY I DA V. E S KA M A N I

“M

y dad used to say to my sisters and I when we were kids that ‘life’s not that serious.” Orlando’s Casey Conroy is reflecting on her debut EP, It’s Just Living. She is sitting in her new, tem-

porary apartment, somewhere in the valleys of southern California. “We’re so lucky that every morning we just get to wake up and feel everything we do, because we’re alive. Just

enjoy whatever that is,” she says. “It’s going to end for everybody. So we might as well enjoy it while we’re here. … I wanted to write a record about that idea of, ‘Hey, it’s just living.’” Released in October of last year, It’s Just Living represents a pivotal creative moment for Conroy. “A few years ago, I had a switch,” reflects Conroy. “I’ll just make music that makes me happy and excited. Or if I’m sad, comforted. The record is really a combination of songs that I’ve been working on ever since I hit that switch of just making music that makes me happy and making music I’d want to hear.” Casey and her creative partner Willy Colón collaboratively wrote most of the songs on the record, delivering a burst of forward-facing and deeply affecting pop music that listeners have wholeheartedly embraced. According to Conroy, each track had at least three reincarnations until meeting their final form. “I just spent so much time. Because it was my first record, I wanted it to be as perfect as possible,” says Conroy. The Orlandoan artist had, only three weeks prior, made the leap of a lifetime: packed what she needed, boarded a plane, swallowed her fears and planted roots thousands of miles from home. It’s the first time in her life she’s calling a new city home, but this represents just one of many instances when Conroy’s determination propelled her forward. Conroy conquered her debilitating fear of stage fright by forcing herself on as many local stages in Orlando as possible, a regular at the well-loved and eclectic Austin’s Coffee. After moving cross-country, she’s immersing herself in a new scene after calling one home for so many years. She is doing it all herself, a “DIY frenzy” in her words: leading her own marketing, branding, booking, producing and writing. Conroy embraces the challenges before her, a personal test and ultimately testament to the commitment she feels deeply for her art, “It’s been good, especially for me as an artist, to really get in and get my hands dirty and have to push it for myself,” Conroy says. Just as he inspired the concept behind her debut, Conroy credits her father for inspiring her art. A musician himself from Ireland, he never pursued music professionally, instilling a love for songwriting unfettered by the rigid confines of the music industry. “As soon as I can even remember, he would write songs and he would have me sing them,” says Conroy. “We would record them in a tiny little home studio, and we would do covers together, and we would write music together.” Bands like Duran Duran, Depeche Mode and even Irish folk music inspired the two. By age 12, Conroy had started playing the piano and writing her own songs. Fast-forward to the present day, Conroy’s penning new music, booking shows and even looking towards a hometown show at some point. At the center of this wild life is her love for her art, and her deep appreciation for those who love it, too. “I love what I do. I love creating music, and I love putting out music I love,” says Conroy. “When people ask me, ‘What do you hope that people get out of listening to your music?’ The number one thing is always that it’s unbelievably authentic.” That, it certainly is. It’s truly just living.

LOCAL RELEASES

Support for Ukraine is so global that’s it’s become local. In the Orlando music community, indie-pop star Marc With a C has recently come out for the cause. Although he’s in the midst of a historical career overhaul and serious ongoing medical struggles, he managed to record and release a charity single to aid Ukraine. Besides the righteous purpose, the single also happens to be a bright rendition of a great, and aptly chosen, song. Marc paid for the rights to cover Jarvis Cocker’s “Running the World” and has released his reimagining of it on Bandcamp to raise money for Ukraine through Sunflower of Peace, a U.S.-based nonprofit working to help Ukrainians affected by the Russian invasion. As Cocker says on the song, “C*nts are still running the world.” But by picking up Marc’s version of it, you can at least help people valiantly fighting a particularly imperial one. Earlier this month, Orlando rock band the Amphetamines dropped two very good singles as a lead-up to their just-released four-song EP Daggers in the Blacklight. While their 2019 debut was decent, this follow-up is a big leap that carves their shaggy rock with superior songwriting, dimension and aesthetic. The initial two singles laid down the goalposts, with the dark, powerful drive of “Greasy Wop” and the moody beauty of “Elmo Dramatic.” The rest of the EP sustains the quality through a recipe that channels the melodic economy and precision of the Strokes and the fuzzy swoon of Surfer Blood. With tall, perfect melodies and thrilling rock textures, Daggers is a strong batch of songs without an ounce of filler anywhere.

Fat Possum is a legit indie-rock label. But the Mississippi imprint built its cred on the blues, and it was Buffalo Nichols who convinced Fat Possum to dip back into the blues and release his sublime debut album This is some of the best homegrown music to emerge in a while and makes a cogent case for the Amphetamines as a new Orlando name to watch. Daggers in the Blacklight now streams everywhere.

CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK Tonstartssbandht, Daisy-Chain, Death Tremors: After a succession of postponements in their attempts to get back out on the road, the hometown show by local psych breakouts Tonstartssbandht is finally happening. Although their touring life has been beleaguered by COVID, the Orlando brothers are actually riding high on a significant recent roll that’s seen them release a very focused album created entirely here (Petunia) on Mexican Summer and have some of their early albums reissued — complete with vinyl — through Brooklyn’s Fire Talk Records. (7 p.m. Thursday, March 31, Will’s Pub, $10 advance/$12 DOS)

Vacations, Dreamgirl, Mustard Service: Can’t go on vacation? Well, this lovely bill brings the vacation to you. And not just because it’s headlined by a band actually named Vacations, an act from Australia whose indie rock is a summery reverie. The openers will also keep you in a leisurely state of mind. Missouri’s Dreamgirl will make Tennis fans swoon with cooing indie-pop that’s a little less nostalgic but every bit as charming. And the Latin-infused coastal pop of Miami’s Mustard Service bring the tropical breezes. (7 p.m. Thursday, March 31, The Abbey, $16) Buffalo Nichols: Fat Possum is as legit an indie-rock label as they come. But the Mississippi imprint actually built its initial cred as a blues label, and an amazing one at that, releasing music from greats like R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough and T-Model Ford. After almost 20 years away, it was Buffalo Nichols who finally convinced Fat Possum to dip back into the blues and release his debut album last October. And for good reason. Over generations, traditional blues has somehow become largely defined by a bunch of old white hacks who sound more inspired by Roadhouse than the Delta. Young guns like Nichols, however, are reclaiming it. Unlike the commercialized electric blues that’s become institutional, his largely acoustic style brings things back to a rural essence. Elemental and articulate, Nichols’ sound makes the blues something that’s both young and Black again. In a time of racial reckoning not seen since the 1960s, his brand of revivalism gives an old form an injection of poignant new relevance.
