OK, I shall rise to the bait as well. My problem with Tim Eyeman is two-fold.

1. He reminds me of every smarmy frat boy I ever met

2. He puts forward initiatives (not all of them, but a lot) that any reasonable person knows are unconstitutional. He does this under the justification of "sending a message". The problem is once they are approved - the State is obligated to defend the constitutionality of the initiative - wasting scant resources and money. That waste is a classic definition of inefficiency and the message that we are supposed to be sending to government is to be more efficient!!! A classic double message given while Tim whistles to the bank.

The solution to this is simple. If someone puts forward an initiative that is deemend unconstitutional - they have to pay the court costs and Attorney General's costs in defending the initiative. I wonder how many messages Tim would send then? I have voted no on three of his initiatives simply because I knew them to be unconstitutional. And I am just a dumb fisherman from Puyallup.
