The gears of Tim Eyman’s initiative factory appear to be spinning with full force once again following a major infusion of cash from two wealthy right wing developers, new reports filed with the Public Disclosure Commission show.

The campaign committee for I-1366, Eyman’s initiative for 2015, reported that for February of 2015 (its first month of operation), it raised a total of $452,444.04 (principally from three sources) and spent $158,111.78.

(I-1366, for those readers unaware, is a scheme to coerce the Legislature into passing a constitutional amendment to require a two-thirds vote to raise revenue. It would wipe out $1 billion a year in funding for schools and other vital public services if the Legislature doesn’t pass such an amendment by April of 2016.)

$150,000 of the nearly half a million the committee raised is a previously-reported loan taken out by Tim Eyman against his home to fund the initial weeks of the signature drive for I-1366, which remains underway.

2. At least there's always easy things on the ballot to decide...

If Eyman is for it, I'm against it. Pretty much sums it up for me.

The 2/3rd crap is poison to democracy. It's a Republican/Libertarian wet dream that basically gives you minority rule. Wouldn't it be lovely if he went broke and lost his home over this? I know, I shouldn't wish ill, but there are a few people in this world that should get the hammer, and Eyman is one of them. I also know it won't happen because his rich bddies will bail him out.
