Every Picture Tells A Story

State Rep. Ed Orcutt, R-Kalama, listened Sept. 2 as Arun Raha, the state’s top economist, gave his quarterly review.

Raha will release his tax-revenue forecast Sept. 15. If you really want the bad news, you can go to this story.

Or you can just look at Orcutt, chairman of the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council, and draw your own conclusion. (And is it just us, or has the economy turned Orcutt, 48, gray? Our file photographs of him, as well as the photo on his website, show him with dark hair.)
