Texas may face state income tax says former governor
Former Gov Preston Smith, campaigning in San Antonio, argues Texas may need a state income tax unless spending is cut. He criticizes Briscoe's no tax stance, cites rising taxes and inflation, and says a 1 percent cut in the 4 percent sales tax would cost about $500 million. He warns of a political dynasty risk if Briscoe serves 10 years.
