It is November, which means that

We had one of those in Washington! By Tim Eyman, the horse's ass who continually tries to cut taxes by ridiculous ballot initiatives. Thank god, it's getting resoundingly defeated this time around.

But wouldn't such a bill also mean that your taxes are forever stuck exactly where they are now?

Sort of...but the focus was more on the budget of the state's government rather than actual taxes, and how much the government would be allowed to spend on things like, y'know, schools and parks and roads and things that I like.
Also, I basically vote no on everything Eyman on principle, because I have never once agreed with anything he's said about taxes or government...so. Yeah.

How sad for Tim Eyman. Surely at least someone agrees with him. If you can't get the support of a few crazy people, than what are you?

Well, about 40-45% of the state does. Most of them live on the east side of the mountains, which has more in common with Idaho than the coastal side of Washington and Oregon.
