Eyman Signature Drive Begins

Tim Eyman's paid initiative signature gatherers (handsomely paid I might add at $0.75 per "John Hancock") are apparently now getting out and about looking for suckers who may not remember the outcome of the I-912 campaign looking to repeal the gas tax funding for the Transportation Bill of 2005 (the repeal initiative was massively rejected). This time around they want to do away with a different $2.5 billion in revenue intended to fund much of the same highway safety and improvement projects that I-912 was going to jeopardize, and that voters said "no" to in droves and all across the state.

Permanent Defense, a group that keeps tabs on Tim Eyman's legislating-from-his-bedroom tactics, is looking for people to help them track the signature gathering activities. If you see someone doing so make note of their location and when you made the observation and report it at this page.

It is important that the signature gathering process be monitored to ensure the process is being followed to the letter of the law, and to ensure that people signing are familiar with all the facts when they do so.
