: : : What does this phrase mean

: : Contribute an opinion

: I think it also implies one's opinion has "weight" -- the person's opinion is considered when a decision is made. "Grandmother had a say in where we went to school."

Yes. Especially when you hear "she ought to have a say in this ..." It's an opinion that counts.
