My hat is off to Rep. Carlyle. It’s refreshing to see senmooe with a brain and a spine step up and thumb their nose at Tim Eyman. I hope this thing passes, I hope I-1053 can be declared unconstitutional, and I hope something can be found in the course of that finding that could lead to Mr. Eyman’s scrawny butt ending up in jail, as will be the case with his Oregon counterpart Bill Sizemore.
