Embattled initiative promoter Tim Eyman, always seeking to get the jump, plans to deliver a "victory speech" in Bellevue for Initiative 976 even as voting is still underway around the state.
"With supporters all around, victory speech will be given around 7:45 p.m. (polls close at 8)," Eyman said Thursday in an email blast to supporters. He then asked them for money.
Eyman has not always scored touchdowns after spiking the football. He predicted that a previous initiative, which would have stalled replacement of the Evergreen Point Bridge, would carry the day even in Seattle. It lost in the city, and statewide by a 60-40% margin.
He has predicted that I-976, a $30 car tab measure that would roll back $4 billion in transportation spending statewide, will pass with 65% of the vote.
