Car tabs: It belongs to voters, not Tim Eyman

A recent TNT headline credited Tim Eyman alone for the new $30 car tabs. It left out the the 1,055,748 other voters who stood against government officials who now fight in court against the will of their constituents.

In the future, please give headline credit to the 53% who voted in favor of Initiative 976 rather than making it appear that Eyman is a lone renegade in this matter.
