Say what you will about anti-tax initiative activist Tim Eyman, but he鈥檚 no quitter.

Eyman joined Friday鈥檚 Dori Monson Show to talk about the latest news that he has defaulted on two months worth of court-ordered $10,000 payments. It鈥檚 part of the $5.4 million he owes to Washington state for his loss in a four-year lawsuit by state Attorney General Bob Ferguson for violations related to campaign finance laws.

Eyman 鈥� who filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy almost three years ago 鈥� was expected to make monthly payments or face default. In his case, the bankruptcy plan dictates that his entire debt is due immediately if he fails to pay, and begins accruing 12% interest annually. Ferguson鈥檚 office reported that September and October payments were missed, so he鈥檚 calling in a court trustee to sell the Mukilteo house Eyman’s soon-to-be ex-wife and children live in, to pay the state鈥檚 bill.

As Eyman sees it, the choice was to pay his attorney, Richard Sanders, while fighting on appeals 鈥� or pay the government. Eyman told Dori he prefers to pay his attorney, to whom he says he still owes more than $300,000.

The government can鈥檛 take anything more from him, Eyman says.

鈥淚n construction, they call it stripped it down the studs,” he said. “There鈥檚 nothing else they can do to me. Now they鈥檙e going after a house I don鈥檛 even live in anymore. 鈥� Now it鈥檚 all vindictive.鈥�

The house he refers to is a home where his ex-wife and children live, but where he claims he does not.

Meanwhile, Eyman is working with others on promoting 鈥� an effort to combat a proposed state income tax. If the state Legislature doesn鈥檛 address the matter in early 2022, his team hopes it will go before voters on a ballot.

So how does he get through this latest personal financial challenge?

鈥淚 have to step back and realize my family, my friends, my faith, my health — these are the most important things you have in your life,鈥� Eyman said. 鈥淭here are a whole lot of people who have it tougher than me. I鈥檝e been financially destroyed but this thing hasn鈥檛 broken me.鈥�

Why not? Dori asks.

鈥淧ure masochism. Maybe a certain amount of white trash Irish stubbornness,鈥� Eyman replied. 鈥淚鈥檓 not going to let Bob Ferguson get away with this with me because I just know if he gets away with me then he will target somebody else 鈥� simply because they choose to put forth a different point of view. 鈥� It only lights my fire to go even harder at them.鈥�
