BP and Conoco-Phillips backing Tim Eyman
http://www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2012/05/bp-and-conocophillips-revealed-as-the-big-money-behind-tim-eymans-i-1185.htmlBad news, everyone. We've just learned that Tim Eyman's latest initiative, I-1185, is being bankrolled by BP - yes, THAT BP - and ConocoPhillips. They've each sent Eyman $100,000 checks. And there's more money where that came from. Eyman's I-1185 is likely going to be on the ballot thanks to all of the corporate cash he's gotten (and will get). Learn more about the threat by reading our breaking news alert.
(I-1185 is a clone of Eyman's last successful initiative, I-1053, which unconstitutionally requires two-thirds votes to raise revenue).
