鈥淧oliticians always say the need for higher taxes is indisputable; we call B.S. on that.鈥�

That鈥檚 what conservative initiative-pusher Tim Eyman wanted to write in the Snohomish County voter鈥檚 pamphlet. But Snohomish County Auditor Carolyn Weikel deemed Eyman鈥檚 use of the term 鈥淏.S.鈥� too vulgar for the pamphlet and she wants to prevent him from using it.

鈥淚鈥檓 just visualizing this woman with her pinky in the air holding a cup of tea with her nose looking down upon me going 鈥楳r. Eyman, can use nicer words in order to make his point?鈥� Eyman told 770 KTTH鈥檚 Jason Rantz.

The whole kerfuffle is over Proposition 1 on the November ballot, which would raise the sales tax only in the city of Mukilteo by one tenth of one percent.

Eyman was tasked with writing the 鈥渃on鈥� side for the voter鈥檚 pamphlet. He explained, at first, the auditor’s office told him it was profanity, but later they walked it back and said it was just inappropriate.

鈥淚 did call the ACLU and, ironically, they made a similar argument that I did,鈥� Eyman said. 鈥溾�榃e at the ACLU think that it鈥檚 B.S. that you can鈥檛 say B.S.鈥�

Weikel did tell The Everett Herald she鈥檚 consulting county attorneys to determine if this is actually something she can do. Eyman calls this a micromanagement of free speech.

鈥淭hese people are not snowflakes,鈥� Eyman said. 鈥淭hey ought to be able to withstand the concept of 鈥榳e call B.S. on that鈥� and not be repulsed by it, but if they are then they鈥檒l vote in favor of the tax increase. There鈥檚 perfect accountability in the process.鈥�

What will Eyman do if they actually strike his argument from the voter鈥檚 pamphlet? He鈥檚 not sure yet, but he says all options are on the table.

鈥淥ne of the prices we pay for living in a free society is the ability of people to express themselves, and we may not sometimes like it, it may be a little more cluttered than we鈥檙e comfortable with, but that is by definition what it鈥檚 like to live in a free society,鈥� Eyman said.

A sales tax increase in Mukilteo isn鈥檛 Eyman鈥檚 main focus this election cycle, though. He鈥檚 also collecting signatures to get an initiative on the ballot to cap car tab fees at $30.
