Tim Eyman did no such convincing. People know that giving investment money to our State politicians is like giving a loan to a crack head --right you'll get that money back.
Tim Eyman thuroughly exploited the fact that people were/are PISSED!
When people are happy, a guy like Tim Eyman can not thrive. It's that simple.
More locally, I know for a fact that the people on the island here feel good about bang for the tax buck. ...our roads are well maintaned, our schools kick ass . .. and yet the tax density is much lower than our neighboring Seattle cluster.
