Senate passes bill to scrub Eyman's 'advisory' votes

Tim Eyman was barred from getting into Gov. Jay Inslee's presidential announcement on Friday, at the same time the Washington State Senate was voting to throw out "advisory votes" that Eyman has put on the state ballot.

The advisory measures were created by an Eyman initiative narrowly passed by voters in 2007.

The Senate voted 27-20, with support from three Republicans, to take them off the ballot. The legislation, SB 5224, goes to the House.

Voters were asked if they want to "maintain" or "repeal" revenue-related measures passed in the last session of the Legislature. The votes are non-binding and meaningless. Voters are given no explanation of what the money goes for.
