Have pen; will work for bananas. Who are scribbling our ballots' questions?

In Washington, DC, in March of this year, the House passed Rep. Bruce Braley's (D-Iowa) Plain Language Act (HR 946). It requires the federal government to write documents in simple, easy-to-understand language.

The bill passed the House by a widely bipartisan margin of 386-33. I am wondering if the 33 losers simply did not understand the act, were playing solitaire, do not speak English, were asleep, or believed that it is better when the commoners can’t comprehend what they (our fine politicians) are doing, or yet if it makes their peckers appear bigger than they really are.

"There is no reason why the federal government can't write these forms and other public documents in a way we can all understand," Braley said. "Writing government documents in plain language will increase government accountability and will save Americans time and money. Plain, straightforward language makes it easy for taxpayers to understand what the federal government is doing and what services it is offering.”

Agreed? Wholeheartedly! This is a Federal Act, however, and it does not seem to affect our breed of super intelligent and highly educated Floridian ballot material writers…

Now, can someone tell me who are those fine scholars who came up with the following garbage appearing on our ballots tomorrow? (BTW, the other amendments are from the same vein.)

Example:  (read at your own risk)
Creation of Preamble for the Brevard County Charter

Currently the Charter commences with Article 1, entitled "Creation, Powers and Ordinances of Home Rule Charter Government". Shall the Charter be amended to create an introductory Preamble by moving language from the existing Section 1.1 of the Brevard County Charter into the new Preamble?

Senior conio, in Ingles por favor!
