Judge refuses to let Eyman back out of bankruptcy

FILE - In this Feb. 9, 2015, file photo, initiative promoter Tim Eyman waits for his turn to speak before the Senate Ways and Means Committee at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash. Initiative 1366, the latest ballot measure before voters to limit lawmakers' ability to raise taxes gives a choice: Send a constitutional amendment to voters that would reinstate a two-thirds legislative majority requirement to raise taxes or else see a cut in the state sales tax. Opponents of the measure call it legislative blackmail, but initiative sponsor Eyman, who has a long history of anti-tax efforts, insists he's merely seeking to end the "tug of war on this policy."
