Ex-Supreme Court justice offers to help Eyman

OLYMPIA — Embattled initiative promoter Tim Eyman may soon have a lawyer again.

And it is a well-known name: Richard Sanders, a former state Supreme Court justice.

“To finally have somebody who is tough as nails is a godsend,” Eyman said Monday evening. “He knows what he’s doing and for nine months I haven’t.”

Sanders, who practices law in Tacoma, conditioned the deal on Eyman giving Attorney General Bob Ferguson unfettered access to the bank accounts through which the activist’s private and political lives are funded.

“First, you MUST comply with the court’s orders, like it or not,” Sanders wrote in a Sept. 23 letter to Eyman. “If there are other discovery issues, I will work with you and the state to cure any deficiencies after I am authorized to appear on your behalf.”
