Is that actually what it means? The question asks about repealing an ordinance and replacing it with a new one. I thought "for the ordinance" meant for the new one which would also repeal the old ordinance.
Either of us might be right... the fact that we can't be sure without further research is exactly the problem I'm pointing out! My interpretation is based on the only use of the word "Ordinance" in the ballot question referring to the existing Ordinance on the books.
Indeed, I didn't catch that. And based on some reading [1] it seems my interpretation was indeed exactly wrong. Thereby either proving my original point -- that the answers are quite confusing -- or maybe just that I'm an idiot/outlier. I'd argue it's especially confusing with the capitalized 'O' in the ballot answer and the corresponding capital O when the ballot question refers to the existing 'Ordinance', but not the replacement 'ordinance'. Crazy...
To amend my original post, the answers should have been phrased more like "YES -- repeal and replace the existing ordinance" and "NO -- keep the existing ordinance".
