- Joe Biden Stops In Olympia: Vice President Joe Biden is in Olympia today to stump for Sen. Patty Murray's re–election campaign. We'll check in with correspondent Austin Jenkins for a live report. Social And Health Services Budget Cuts: Last week Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) announced $168 million in cuts. These include major cuts to mental health treatment and health care coverage. As part of our continuing series on how budget cuts affect the most vulnerable, we speak with the state's long–term care ombudsman about how the cuts will affect low–income senior citizens and disabled adults. Felon Voter Ban Upheld: A federal court is upholding a Washington state law that strips voting rights from felons in the state prison system. The decision was handed down yesterday by an 11–judge panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. It reverses a ruling from earlier this year by a three–judge panel that said the state law violates the federal Voting Rights Act. We get a reaction from one of the lawyers who filed the lawsuit on behalf of black, Latino and Native American inmates. Words You Love (And Hate) With Ben Zimmer: The Baltimore Sun's recent use of the word limn in a headline made some readers furious. One letter writer accused the paper of being 'unbelievably arrogant and patronizing.' Others have defended the $10 word choice. What's your response to words you don't know? Anger? Excitement? Today we're talking about words you love and words you hate with Ben Zimmer, the language columnist for The New York Times.
