Washington: Eyman’s measure would deal with state tolling
Initiative activist Tim Eyman’s latest offering ”” if it makes it onto November’s ballot and is approved by voters ”” could bring the tolling plan for the Columbia River Crossing to a screeching halt. Eyman announced recently he’s collecting signatures on Initiative 1125, which would change Washington law to ban peak-hour tolling, a key part of the tolling plan for the Vancouver-Portland crossing. It also would prohibit tolls from being used to pay for anything but highway purposes and require the Legislature to set toll amounts.
