The King County Executive is preparing another budget. What is the message this year? Oh, cripes!

The King County Executive is preparing another budget. What is the message this year? In 2001, it was... Oh, cripes! It's ugly. In 2004, it was... Holy smokes! In 2005, it was... Time to celebrate. In 2006, it was... Not pretty, but we have made progress. In 2008, it is... Deja-mess all over again.
