Related: About this forumMore 'multiple apparent violations' for Timmy Eyman...
http://www.seattlepi.com/local/politics/article/Multiple-apparent-violations-by-Eyman-group-8344459.php----------------------------------------
The state Public Disclosure Commission has flagged a Tim Eyman political committee for "multiple apparent violations" of state law, and sending the case to the Attorney General's office for "appropriate action."
The recommendation, set to be finalized Friday by the PDC, deepens the legal troubles of Eyman. It is the second case sent to the Attorney General for action against the self-styled taxpayer watchdog, who has been sponsoring statewide initiatives for 17 years.
Eyman is falling victim to disclosure laws first put in place decades ago by a citizens initiative, which made Washington a pioneer in letting voters know who is paying for their politicians' campaigns.
---------------------------------------
Perfect irony - his initiative scam machine is being taken down by laws put into place by Citizen's Initiative.
That's two judges last week, plus this new referral from PDC. I think that his way-too-long run in Washington politics is about to come to a screeching halt.

That man needs to be fully excluded from the political process, if not thrown in jail.
He's a public menace.

That guy has wasted more state tax money than he ever hoped to save. His cushy job has been a scam on the people of Washington. He can go back to selling watches to frat boys.
