FUUUUUUUUUCK. Eyman’s latest initiative is going to the November ballot

Back in May we were like “hey please don’t sign any initiative having to do with Tim Eyman because he is the actual worst” but APPARENTLY not everyone listened because I-1366 is going to be on the November ballot.

The Spokesman-Review reports:

I-1366 attempts to force the Legislature to send voters a constitutional amendment that would require super-majorities from each chamber to approve any new tax increase. The initiative is sponsored by Voters Want More Choices, an organization operated by Eyman and two associates from Spokane, Mike Fagan and Jack Fagan.

This is, as we have explained a million times, a bad idea, put forth by bad people. These bad people:

It has literally been called his “worst idea ever.” Which is really saying something because Tim Eyman basically wakes up in the morning and just immediately begins pooping out bad ideas. He is made of bad ideas. 

So! Once more, with feeling: Do not vote for this. Vote absolutely fucking not on I-1366. You’ll remember it because it’s very close to “666.”

UPDATE!!! A legal challenge was filed this morning! Thanks to the hot-tippers at NW Progressive for letting us know. We’ll see how this goes!
