Politics could use more like him

The political people of both major parties, unable to kill off the taxpaying public’s enthusiasm for Mr. Tim Eyman’s tax cutting measures, are now trying to kill Mr. Eyman through character assassination. For them, and their high paid advisors, to criticize him for what they are doing is the height of hypocrisy. Are they that afraid of him? Is their little bubble of bureaucracy in danger of being pricked by the taxpayers of Washington?

Perhaps what we need is a change of leadership. How about some Mr. Eymans coming forth to take on the bloated bureaucrats? Would Mr. Eyman possibly consider taking aim at our incompetent state Department of Transportation or possibly the heavily bloated Community Transit system? What would have happened if the DOT had tried to pull the recent Everett/Marysville foul-up in Seattle?

Fellow taxpayers and voters, it is time for some changes.
