| | Eyman delivers names as I-892 critics unite |
 | | Rick Forcier, executive director of the Christian Coalition of Washington State and a leader of the opposition campaign, said I-892 "is being presented as a tax cut measure, but that's not the way it's perceived by folks we represent. |
 | | I-892 would legalize electronic slot machines in non-tribal restaurants, taverns, bowling alleys and casinos and would use the extra tax revenue to lower state property taxes. |
 | | I-892 has been bankrolled almost entirely by the gambling industry, which is pouring enough money into it -- more than $300,000 by the end of May -- to allow Eyman to pay himself $3,100 a week, or $161,200 on an annualized basis, to run the signature campaign. |
