Crist Orders Use of Simple Words

TALLAHASSEE - Charlie Crist's first move as governor is tackling bureaucratic language and barriers to public information that he criticized Wednesday as an "arrogance" in state government that intentionally distances itself from citizens.

... While campaigning last year, Crist was sometimes flummoxed by questions that included government acronyms. ...

"Some try to portray themselves as smarter than you by using this sort of terminology in a way that's unkind," Crist said.
Oh, Florida -- you continue to be an argument against democracy promotion instantiated.
