Who says failure doesn't have it's rewards?

And that's even though Initiative 985 was defeated in all 39 Washington counties in the November general election. (I-985 would have opened carpool lanes in off-peak hours and shifted some sales tax on cars to congestion relief fund.)

Here's a story that will appear in tomorrow's print edition of The News Tribune. Scroll to the bottom of it to read about the financial arrangement professional initiative promoter Tim Eyman has with his main financial supporter, Woodinville millionaire Mike Dunmire.

Dunmire says he helps Eyman because he had enough money to do what the average person can't: finance an initiative.

And he backs Eyman because he believes there should be more restraint when it comes to state spending. The $6 billion projected budget deficit would be solved very easily, Dunmire told me earlier today.
