You may not feel like you had much input in Christine Gregoire’s cut-happy budget–particularly if you’re a beneficiary of, say, the General Assistance Program or the Basic Health Plan. Nevertheless, you can have some say in the talking points the Governor uses to sell her plan to the legislature and the general public. Below is your bracket (click to enlarge). She’s given you 64 talking points. Help her select the best one.Send entries to dagnos@seattleweekly.com (and to the Governor, too, if you please). We’ll announce a winner at the end of the week. The grand (and only) prize is a used copy of The Grapes of Wrath.
