Forgive us for even thinking such a thing, but where the hell is Tim Eyman when you actually need him?
Shouldn't Tax Cap Tim be riding to our rescue right about now – now that the University of Washington has decided it should be allowed to help itself to $150 million in taxpayer money to fund the renovation of its crumbling hulk of a football stadium.
And you thought the panhandling in the U-district was confined to the Ave.
It is hard to decide which is in fuller bloom – the chutzpah of UW's administration in plunging their mitts into our trousers or the cluelessness of our elected leaders for apparently being so eager to turn our pockets whites-out. So you make the call.
