The State Constitution clearly says (sorry, cite not at my fingertips) that it takes mere majority votes in each house of the legislature to pass a bill, any bill, including bills to raise taxes. There is no proviso in the constitution that would allow that requirement to be amended by initiative.

When I worked in Olympia some years ago, after a successful floor vote on a bill, the speaker would intone: "The bill having received a constitutional majority is declared passed." With this Eyman bill in place, the speaker is supposed to say: "The bill having received a constitutional majority is declared NOT passed"?????

This initiative (and its similar predecessors) is clearly unconstitutional, but timid legislators have chosen to not present a good case to the state supreme court. Perhaps they suspect that the justices, all politicians themselves, would find it hard to rule correctly on what in the past has been a popular initiative.

Done and Done. Shocking I know, as I am allegedly a tax hating conservative monster.

How is this one polling?

decipimur specie recti.

Eyman.

Need we say more?

If Evil has a Name, it is Tim Eyman.
