EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Anti-tax initiative sponsor Tim Eyman had a winner this year with the passage of I-1053, requiring any state tax increase to be approved by a two-thirds majority in the Legislature.

While fighting taxes is close to his heart, Eyman told The Daily Herald of Everett his emphasis now is on letting voters decide.

He says voters should decide on city traffic cameras, highway tolls, ferry fares and car tab fees. He says the debate isn’t over whether those are good or bad; it’s a question of who should decide.

Eyman says he’ll be at the Lynnwood City Council meeting Monday to opposed a local $20 car tab hike.

The 44-year-old from Mukilteo has made a career out of his work, making a living from a fund called “Help Us Help Taxpayers.”
