Initiatives

He has put initiatives out from 1998-2010; 17 initiatives to be exact, and 1 referendum, concerning small government, lower taxes, the usual. Oh, and he once showed up to the state capital dressed as Darth Vader. At times, he has good ideas such as cutting Washington's formerly onerous license plate renewal fee to a flat $30. Other times he's considered the most divisive political figure in the state, and demonized for using the ballot initiative process as a way of repeatedly proposing legislation without himself having to stand for election. He pointedly refuses to run for public office, despite being one of the state's most effective de facto legislators.
