Eyman files Taxpayer Protection Initiative

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Tim Eyman says he's filed the "taxpayer protection initiative" in Olympia.

It would require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature or voter approval for any tax increase.

Any proposal to raise taxes would have to go through a study by the state budget office, with public hearings, on its cost over ten years.

1. *yawn*

Timmy, we get it already. You don't think the legislators that we elected should be able to, um, make legislation. You think we, the "taxpaying citizens" should be doing that. Because, as we all know, all our fellow citizens have so much spare time to thoroughly inform themselves on all the issues...

Moran, your 15 minutes are up. Go sell some more watches.

2. the people's waterfront coalition should hire eyman

get an initiative to consider the LOWEST COST alternative to fixing 99 thru town.

except horse's ass loves his cars - would he work for a sustainable future if he got paid? since he's a whore, the answer is obviously...

Seriously he does.

3. Taxpayer Protection Initiative?

None of his asshat propositions have done a damned thing to protect taxpayers. I-695 devastated local communities and his property tax initiative is so full of loopholes as to be nonexistent.

The only Eyeman-related initiative that could protect taxpayers is to officially declare him a Horse's ass.

4. I thought he tried this already, and the Court slapped him down

As I recall, such a bill would require changing the state Constitution to either give the People the power of taxation (it and the power to amend the state constitution are reserved to the Legislature only) and changing the state Constitution to require more than a simple majority to pass a bill.

5. he makes lots of money filing these initiatives

Through public disclosure it came out last time (or the time before) that he had, despite his assertions that he was non-profit, made lots of money.

His interest is not for the WA tax payers but for his own pocketbook.

6. Go away, Timmy, just freakin' go away!

You have become very tiresome.

7. What would it take to get that asshole to leave the state?

He belongs somewhere very unpopulated, full of angry property owners who hate the government. Hmmm... any ideas?

8. Dumbass is just creating a deficit --> Less revenue and more expenses.

Does he think longevity studies by the state budget office are free? :eyes:

9. Man, that guy is a pox upon Washington, isn't he?

STFU, already!
