Add in Foghorn-Strayhorn's desire for a State Income tax and we'll start looking like New York (tax wise that is).

A note (if long term memory serves me right): The Texas Constitution states that before a state income tax can be imposed, the voters must approve it, the money must be used to lower property taxes and the income tax must be capped and cannot be raised without another vote.
Last time Ms Strayhorn spoke of the income tax I believe she said she was opposed to it. (Not positive but believe it is true.)
