Washington State Legislators – Pass SB 5182 now!
Washington State needs to end Washington taxpayers subsidizing Tim Eyman’s anti-tax initiative campaigns. They need to stop putting his so called Tax Advisory Votes on our ballots. They are really anti-tax push polls.
Why are legislators allowing this abuse of our ballots to continue? It is time to end this abuse of our electoral process.
The language used to write the ballot titles for these so-called advisory votes was written by Tim Eyman, not the State’s Attorney General as all other ballot titles are.
Eyman’s ballot titles inflammatory language biases voter’s opinions. Requiring phrases like “legislature imposed”, “without a vote of the people”, “costing …in the first 10 years” and “for government spending” are phrases that are not neutral but are meant to bias against a “maintain” vote and all taxes and revenue increases in general.
Special interest polling does not deserve a place on our ballot. The fact that these push polls benefit a private initiative business and were written by that business to promote its anti-tax political agenda is even more objectionable.
End this abuse of our ballot. End this taxpayer subsidy of these Eyman push polls on our ballot.
Pass SB 5182 introduced by Senator Patty Kuderer!
