Latest Eyman initiative makes November ballot
Initiative activist Tim Eyman and his partners will again appear on the Washington state ballot this year.

Eyman still wants vote on cameras
Tim Eyman is marching forward with his plans to force a public vote before the city can use cameras to catch red-light runners and speeders.
