Eyman gets too few signatures for another $30 car-tab vote

EVERETT — A Tim Eyman-backed initiative to once again reduce car tab fees has failed to get enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.

“Despite months of hard work and effort by a lot of great people, I’m really disappointed to announce that we didn’t make it,” Eyman wrote in an update sent to his supporters Friday morning. “Even though bringing back our $30 car tabs has overwhelming public support … we didn’t collect the 350,000 signatures needed to get our measure on the ballot. I know that this is heartbreaking news.

“We all know that if our $30 car tabs initiative had qualified for a vote, it would’ve been overwhelmingly approved by the voters across the state, especially in the Puget Sound,” he wrote.

Over the years, most of Eyman’s initiatives have reached the ballot.

Correction: the Eyman initiatives that had a sugar daddy behind them made the ballot.

The problem is the exorbitant car tab fees go mostly to projects other than roads. PSPS Dec 2017 #2

The people of Washington seem to be waking up to the fact that we have to pay for our secondary roads somehow.

We have ENOUGH Eyman clones in this state already, thank you very much.
