GET ME REWRITE: Florida GOP fights crime and inflation by playing fashion police

From the Raw Story:
“The Florida House, not content with creating an election police force, banning books in schools or regulating women’s bodies when it comes to pregnancy, has apparently taken on yet another enforcement role: fashion police,” the Miami Herald editorial board argues. “Women, say goodbye to your sleeveless tops ‘when members are in the building.’ The sight of your upper arms is too much for the hallowed halls of the (Florida State) Legislature to bear, it seems. And short skirts? We can’t believe you even asked.” 
The Miami Herald board adds, “A flyer circulating in the Capitol shows, complete with helpful photographs, what a person can and cannot wear. Some items are labeled as ‘NEVER work appropriate.’ No ‘dress or skirt more than one inch above the knee.’ No ‘low cut blouses or dresses.’ No shoes without socks — that one, refreshingly, is aimed at men.”
