More on Tim Eyman
Description from Wikipedia:
Tim Eyman (born 1966) is a conservative political activist in the U.S. state of Washington who uses direct democracy (initiatives and referendums) to pursue his stated goals of cutting taxes (framed as tax revolt) and limiting the power of the state government. As the author of 15 initiatives and one referendum since 1997, he has become a public figure in the Seattle area and Washington state due to the often controversial nature of his proposals.
Though he is very popular with his supporters, he is also strongly opposed, primarily by politically liberal groups. Many see his style as smug and self righteous, especially with respect to his claim that his initiatives are supported by "common sense". Detractors also assert that his activities undermine the work of legislators elected to make informed decisions. For example, Washington State Legislator Ken Jacobsen (D) stated that Eyman uses the initiative and referendum system in an attempt to legislate without being held accountable to the voters for the results of his actions. Eyman has repeatedly refused to run for public office.
