Sound Transit lied to the legislature for the ST3 package: Democrat Transportation chair Judy Clibborn: “I think if you had said, ‘We’re going to bond this and we’re going to ask for $54 billion,’ it would not have gone anywhere. Nobody was going to do that. … Everybody was having this $15 billion in front of them.”

“Sound Transit’s $15 billion tax request reached $54 billion. Legislators say they were misled.”

Sound Transit lied to the voters about the overall cost to taxpayers: “This measure will only cost the average adult $14/month.”

And they blatantly lied to the voters about higher car tab taxes: “Drivers hit with car-tab sticker shock.”

The legislative committee that investigated them came to the obvious conclusion:  

INVESTIGATION REVEALS SOUND TRANSIT USED TRICKERY TO MISLEAD LAWMAKERS, PUBLIC — “It kept key facts from the Legislature and the voters. It displayed disregard for laws designed to ensure full disclosure and prevent public resources from being used for campaigns. Sound Transit has given government at all levels a black eye.”

Yet despite all their conniving machinations and their dishonest extraction of TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS MORE THAN ANYONE EVER EXPECTED, Sound Transit has dug itself into a $35.4 billion hole.

That is certainly not the taxpayers’ fault.  

NO WAY SHOULD WE REWARD THEM FOR THEIR BLATANT LIES AND GROSS INCOMPETENCE. 

Hope you’ll join me today (in-person or online) to hold Sound Transit accountable for their blatant lies and gross incompetence.

What else can you/we do? 

6 years, pulled over 7 times, never ticketed. Why? Because law enforcement officers recognize the injustice. We voted for a straightforward initiative that made taxes and fees above $30 illegal. I can’t bring myself to pay for illegal government charges. Join me in this peaceful political protest (read more about it here).

As always, I welcome your feedback.

For 29 years, I’ve been fighting for our state and our nation.

Is it any wonder Bully Bob Ferguson is trying so hard to impose a lifetime ban on all my future political activity? 

I urge you to help me survive this political persecution by donating to the Tim Eyman Legal Defense Fund so we can get the AG’s ridiculously unconstitutional ruling overturned.

I love you all.

Onward!
