Tim Eyman calls for civil disobedience after $30 car tab measure is blocked

SEATTLE – The sponsor of Washington’s voter-approved I-976 is encouraging residents not to pay their car-tab fees after the measure was blocked by a judge Wednesday.

Tim Eyman furiously rebuked the judge’s decision and Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson after the injunction was passed.

“Ferguson purposely refused to file a motion for change of venue -- King County is one of the plaintiffs and having a King County judge decide this was an obvious conflict,” he claimed.

The King County judge ruled that the measure’s wording was misleading when voters approved it earlier this month. I-976 will not go into effect December 5 and will be shelved until a court decides its constitutionality.

So is Timmy going to pay their fine? For many it might be cheaper to just renew their tabs.

“The odds of getting pulled over -- out of the millions of vehicles on the road -- for expired tabs is slim,” he said. ”Let's clog up traffic courts all across Washington with heroic, patriotic citizens who will tell the court that you are standing up for democracy. Invite me to your hearing and I will stand with you and for you.”

Yeah, right Timmy. You're going to travel all over the state standing with your "supporters". Not going to happen.

My tabs are due next month and I'll gladly pay the fees.

He's such a putz.
