We repeat: Tim Eyman is a skid mark that just won’t fade in a state that can’t afford new underwear because Tim Eyman bankrupted it. And Initiative 1366 is Eyman’s latest craptastic offering. Just knowing Eyman’s name is behind this thing is probably enough for you to stop reading this endorsement right here and vote HELLLLLL FUCKING NO. But in case you’re one of those annoying “thoughtful and conscientious” voters who needs reasons: Eyman’s current con is really an attempt at winning a battle he lost more than two goddamn years ago, when the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that an ancient Eyman initiative that required a two-thirds legislative majority for any tax increases was unconstitutional. (Not the first Eyman initiative to have been found unconstitutional, not the last.) This year’s bullshit Eyman measure tries to blackmail the state legislature into passing a constitutional amendment that would allow two-thirds majority requirements. That’s right: This motherfucker was found to be peddling unconstitutional bullshit with his two-thirds majority nonsense, and instead of going home and thinking about his sorry ass, his solution is to just change the constitution.
