Do you know when state lawmakers are going to pass the 2008-09 budget?
It's OK. We don't either.
But now that the constitutional deadline has passed, we are asking for your best guess -- with the promise of $25 worth of Starbucks gift cards for the person who makes the best prediction for the date and time of passage.
That date is clearly up in the air, as Dan Walters writes in his Tuesday column: "No one -- and that includes the governor and 120 legislators -- has the slightest notion of how or when the mess will be cleaned up."
Entering is pretty easy:
Send in your guess to contest@capitolalert.com. Pick an exact day and time the budget will have passed through both houses of the Legislature. All entries must be sent in by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, June 18. (Click for the full legal rules.)
Before sending in your entry, be sure to check out our budget pool crib sheet, a guide to the important (and not so important) dates in the extended budget cycle.
Happy guessing!
