Tim Eyman felt like Charlie Brown after judge ruled against initiative

King County Superior Court Judge William Downing, right, listens to Richard Stephens, attorney for Tim Eyman, during a hearing on the legality of Eyman's latest anti-tax measure in King County Superior Court, Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2016, in Seattle. Downing said that he intends to rule Thursday on the legality of Initiative 1366, approved by voters in November, which would cut the state sales tax by a penny unless the Legislature puts a tax-limiting constitutional amendment on the fall ballot. Opponents sued, saying the initiative violates the rule that initiatives be limited to a single subject.
