To all my Washington State neighbors who have favored Mr. Eyman's admittedly self-serving initiatives:

I'm tired of being stuck in traffic. When is Tim Eyman scheduled to announce how much money he has found for transportation infrastructure? He and many others say that gubmit is so wasteful that we should reduce taxes AND expect gubmint to improve roads and increase their capacity. Of course, none of our legislators would agree with that, since they are "insiders" as opposed to the "outsiders" who think they can have better roads and lower taxes. The governor has just proposed a tax increase, and no one is balking except "outsiders" who appear to be clueless.

So, I'm interested in the second part of Mr. Eyman's (who I'm using as a caricature of "outsiders" here) theory. He's convinced everyone to avoid taxes, but when is he going to find the needed money? Our legislature has been on a witch hunt for this wasted money for fifteen years and cannot find more, so we're wondering if the heros and spokemen among "outsiders" have delivered on the second part of their theory. My most accounts we are behind in transportation infrastructure somewhere over $100 BILLION dollars. At least. That is conservative.

This is going to be really expensive if we find that Mr. Eyman is wrong, and we're this far behind. So....where's the money going to come from? Or are you just happy with traffic jams that put a noose around the neck of our local economy?
