Hundreds Attend Anti-Tax Rally In Olympia



OLYMPIA, Wash. —

Activist Tim Eyman spoke to a crowd of several hundred people at an anti-tax rally at Olympia Saturday and said he still needs the requisite signatures in a petition drive to put Initiative 1033 on the ballot.

Eyman is sponsor of Initiative 1033, which would reduce property taxes by limiting the growth of certain state, county and city revenue to annual inflation and population growth excluding voter-approved revenue increases.

Eyman said as of last Monday, supporters of the initiative had 270,055 signatures about 20,000 short of the 292,000 valid signatures required to put it on the ballot in November.

The deadline for collecting signatures is July 2.
