Eyman, pals stall budget

Too many Washington state voters are believing all of Tim Eyman’s and his millionaire buddies’ falsehoods and exaggerations. So we might just as well send our governor and legislators home and save having to pay them.

Their hands are tied. They can’t tax anybody or put fees on anything. We have more millionaires per population than other states. If it is going to cost them millions over the long run, then they will spend millions now on TV ads every few minutes to convince us ordinary people to vote the millionaires’ way.

So wise up, Washingtonians, and free up our legislators’ hands and minds so they can study the issues and vote correctly and the governor and her hired hands can study and veto bad parts, if any.

Let’s get this state back into the hands of us ordinary people.
