“Eyman is very good at convincing people to part with their money for really bad ideas,” he said.
Investigation continues
Though he’s attracted new financial support, some business associations that funded past Eyman efforts are staying away for now.
Some of the groups say Eyman inappropriately used money they donated to past efforts to finance an initiative they did not support in 2013. That proposal, Initiative 517, sought to give signature gatherers more leeway in front of stores. It was overwhelmingly rejected by voters in 2013.
The Washington Food Industry Association donated to Eyman initiatives in 2010 and 2012. But Jan Gee, president of the grocery-store group, said, “At this time we have a policy not to give any money that would go to Tim Eyman’s financial handling.”
The state Public Disclosure Commission has been investigating whether Eyman violated campaign laws during the I-517 campaign. Gee said her group and others have been frustrated with the slow pace of that probe.
The Association of Washington Business, which has spent big on prior Eyman anti-tax initiatives, also has stayed away so far. AWB spokesman Jason Hagey said the group has not yet decided whether to support the measure.相关的主题文章：
