Who is Tim Eyman and why do so many people hate him?

Well these paragraphs from the article give you a good reason why.

Since the beginning of the bankruptcy, Debtor Eyman has excessively spent the estate’s funds,” the state told the bankruptcy court. “... In five of the last six months, spending from Debtor Eyman’s accounts have exceeded his receipts.”

Some of Eyman's expenditures that the state cites as questionable include a $465.50 meal at Ruth’s Chris Steak House, a meal at Daniel’s Broiler in Bellevue costing $344 and a family trip to Universal Studios in Florida.

A recent judgment against one of Eyman’s co-defendants in the state’s campaign finance case may also signal trouble for longtime activist. On Sept. 30, a Thurston County judge ordered a signature-gathering firm, Citizen Solutions, to pay $1 million for its part in funneling donations to Eyman. The judgment found that the company’s owner personally approved a $308,185 “kickback payment” that enriched Eyman personally, deceiving donors in the process.

He has been scamming WA for too long, it's time for him to leave. Or go to prison. I'm ok with either.

Poor widdle baby doesn't want to pay taxes.

But that doesn't stop him from driving on our roads, over our bridges, breathing the air we pay to keep clean, and drinking the water we pay to keep potable.

Anti-tax zealots want everything, and they don't want to have to pay for it...
