I write a newspaper column. It's generally 650 words. Sometimes it's 650 words about things that are kind of complex. The Legislature wrote a 179-word amendment to the state Constitution aimed at further insulating the state's death from legal challenge. it took them 579 words to "summarize" the amendment and election supervisors are pissed.
A summary of 179 words that's almost as long as a newspaper column is going to be unwieldy, expensive and confusing to voters. Here's the "summary." I dare you to read the whole thing.
Your legislature at work.
