Roleplay Monday: Be Gov. Chris Gregoire
Washington state Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown sent out a blog post today detailing the difficulties balancing the state budget.

But the best part of Brown's post was this killer calculator. With it, anyone can try to balance the budget. And after one go-around with it, let me tell you, it's super easy. (Hint: Eliminate everything.)
