Why doesn’t Tim Eyman just run for office?

So Tim Eyman is at it again, is he? (“One more time: Another $30 car tab measure bound for ballot,” The Herald, Jan. 4)

While I don’t disagree that what Sound Transit did (using an older car value schedule in an effort to get more money) was underhanded and sneaky, it’s not for Tim Eyman to be the arbiter of what is right and what is wrong with how government works in this state.

If he truly wants to “work for the people” as he so often claims to, he should run for office instead of trying to pull an “end-around” on the legislative process by introducing yet another car tab fee limit initiative. My feeling, though, is that Eyman doesn’t have the courage to do so because he knows that not enough people in this state (or in his district) would be snowed under by him and ever elect him to any political office.
