	Tim Eyman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tim Eyman is a political activist in the U.S. state of Washington who uses direct democracy (initiatives and referenda) to accomplish his goal of cutting taxes (framed as tax revolt).
		Eyman quickly promised "revenge" for the raising of the gas tax, and soon announced his 2004 initiative, which would have slashed state property taxes (which exclusively funds education) by the same amount that the gas tax had been raised.
		Eyman claimed that he won a minor victory with the passage of a county charter amendment reducing the size of the King County Council.

		Tim Eyman is a political activist in Washington State who uses direct democracy (initiatives and referenda) to accomplish his goal of cutting taxes (known as tax revolt).
		Eyman's stated goal in passing I-776 of killing Sound Transit's light rail project never materialized as the project received federal funding in the same month as the ruling and began construction in November 2003.
		Eyman claimed that he won a minor victory with the passage of a county charter amendment reducing the size of the King County Council, but this initiative was actually sponsored by the county jail guards' union, not Eyman (who does not live in King County).

	Permanent Defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Permanent Defense also continued its opposition to Tim Eyman in 2004 with its allies, TaxSanity.org and Taxpayers for Washington's Future, by filing a complaint against Eyman with the state Public Disclosure Commission, accusing Eyman of violating the public disclosure law and secretly moving funds from one political committee to another without reporting them.
		Eyman takes the position that government is essentially an evil that must be kept in check by very watchful taxpayers, and that elected officials are by nature dishonest.
		Eyman claims his initiatives are necessary to keep tax rates from skyrocketing out of control and becoming obscene, despite the fact that his critics continually offer evidence that refutes the idea that taxes are "skyrocketing".

		Tim, you claim the goal of your next initiative, that flattens vehicle tab taxes at $30, is to calculate the tax based on a vehicle's market value.
		Tim, the people of Washington state are tired of you and your friends legislating from your bedroom.

		Eyman's single-mindedness and instincts for salesmanship and promotion have translated into hundreds of millions of dollars in reduced taxes over the past six years, forcing state and local governments to cut some services, reduce others and find new funding sources.
		Eyman's philosophy overflows with David vs. Goliath references and what he says is the evenhandedness of allowing voters to decide issues rather than elected representatives tainted by the offices they hold.
		Eyman, 40, was adopted as a baby by his parents, Don and Dolores Eyman of Yakima, who also raised a son and daughter of their own.

	Snarky's Weblog: Tim Eyman IS a Horse's Ass!
		Okay, even if the initiative to declare it a fact was ruled off the ballot in March, Tim Eyman is in fact a horse's ass.
		For those of you who don't know (if you're not from WA, there's no reason for you to know), Tim Eyman is the rat-bastard former watch salesman that has been single-handedly decapitating Washington's budget for the past four or five years, abusing the state's initiative process to push his own agenda of "populist" politics.
		Eyman and many of his supporters continually fail to grasp is that the money that they pay in taxes is going to support the society around them, a society that they have supported by electing representatives that make policy decisions for them.

		Eyman is tapping into, and fomenting, public distrust of government leaders, and writes unconstitutional initiatives that are tossed out by the courts, further angering voters, Goldstein says.
		Eyman says the initiative process is so popular with the public that lawmakers won't dare mess with it too much.
		Eyman seems to not care when the measures are struck down by the courts, because he still succeeds in sending a message to Olympia, and because he feeds off voter anger that erupts when initiatives are tossed out, he says.

		Since Eyman is acting as a de facto politician who regularly proposes public policy, and considering his track record of lies and deception, we believe that this right should extend to him.

	Meet the 33-year-old who got the $30 car tax on the ballot
		Timothy D. Eyman is the little-known sponsor of Initiative 695, which rumbled onto the political stage last month after the 33-year-old Mukilteo entrepreneur turned in a jolting 514,141 signatures, the second-largest number ever gathered for a ballot measure in state history.
		Eyman appears drawn to the game for the thrill of the action more than the notoriety or even the call of his own convictions.
		Eyman's mother, Dolores Eyman, has a story about her son's Yakima upbringing that she believes sums up his goal-setting, achievement-oriented character and drive.

	Snohomish County Business Journal
		Political activist and initiative promoter Tim Eyman of Mukilteo might be described by some critics as the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse, a frightening, wild-eyed rider galloping over the countryside with his equally fearsome companions — Famine, Pestilence, War and Death.
		Eyman’s success isn’t really dependent on himself, but rather on “the Eymanistas who pay for the campaigns with their $10 and $20 checks and with the voters who judge his ideas,” Ammons wrote.
		Eyman makes his new initiative — 265 — sound like an attractive alternative to R-51, the Legislature’s decadelong $7.7 billion highway and mass-transit funding package based on a 9-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax increase, a 1 percent surtax on car sales and a 30 percent increase in trucking fees.

	The Seattle Times: Politics: Eyman files measures to undo gay-rights law

		Eyman would not discuss his motivation for filing the measures except to say that voters should have the right to decide an issue this important and that "I do not believe a majority of voters are in favor of preferential treatment based on what group they belong to."
		Eyman is best known for his anti-tax initiatives; however, he got his start in 1997 by co-filing Initiative 200, which banned government from giving preferential treatment to people because of their race, color, sex, national origin or ethnicity.

		Tim had propped up a graph showing a general rise in property taxes since 1980 and was complaining about the increase in taxes to the press.
		But there is an alliance between Tim Eyman and the gambling industry, with the goal of swindling voters into believing that I-892 is a good initiative because it saves them money.
