The cigarette tax was not on the ballot!
But the last two Presidents from Texas were both big spenders.
Texas does not have a state income tax and it has to have a ballanced budget.
We still have too many people who will vote for anything if it is "for the children".
They got the lottery by saying the money would go "for the children".
I'm not trying to bash Texas- there are a lot of laws in Texas I wish we had in California, and I'm glad for Texas' electoral votes. I just get sick of hearing how California is just one big left-wing utopia. The reality is a lot more complex than that.
