Brings you Chris Mullick:

Ever wonder what happens when someone stages a press conference and the press doesn’t show? Me, too. And until I leave the business I’ll never know.

But initiative promoter Tim Eyman found out today. He scheduled an 11 a.m. press conference to turn in his first batch of signatures for Initiative 985, which deals with traffic congestion relief.

They probably would have showed up if it was a slow news day, but the press was covering the State Revenue Forecast.

Ha!
