If Somebody's Got A Better Idea...

As Democrats squirm under the unwelcome restraint of their looming budget deficit (yes, I said THEIR budget deficit) it was interesting to me to read the challenge made by Marty Brown, Gov. Gregoire's legislative director.

Apparently majority Democrats are reviewing the proposed cuts before considering "alternative solutions" ....like taxes.

"If somebody's got a better idea, we're open to it,"Brown said.

Republicans, this is your cue to step up to the plate and present to the people those better ideas.
