SEATTLE — Tim Eyman, whose initiative campaigns have bedeviled state and local governments across Washington for decades, will no longer be allowed to have any financial control over political committees.

That's under a judge’s ruling Wednesday that blasted him for using donor’s contributions to line his own pocket.

Thurston County Superior Court Judge James Dixon also ordered Eyman to pay $2.6 million in penalties.


Eyman, in case you are not familiar with him, is a Republican.

should have happened a long time ago.

These anarchist fascist types have had too much free rein for too long. They are destroying our democracy.
