One more time: Another $30 car tab measure bound for ballot

OLYMPIA — It looks like voters will get to decide if they want to cap car tab fees at $30 and eliminate critical sources of dollars for transportation improvements in cities and expansion of Sound Transit light rail.

On Thursday, initiative sponsor Tim Eyman of Mukilteo delivered the last batch of signatures for Initiative 976 to the Office of the Secretary of State. He said he was turning in 352,111 signatures for this latest attempt to set a flat rate for vehicle registration fees paid to the state.

Eyman was joined by Jack and Mike Fagan of Spokane, his longtime political partners. The three men are leaders of Voters Want More Choices, the political committee pushing this measure.

They need 259,622 valid signatures of registered voters to earn a spot on the November ballot. The Secretary of State recommends turning in at least 325,000 signatures to account for duplicates and invalid ones.

Voters have seen what your bills have done to roads, transits, and ferries, and they want no more of it.
