- <p> Doonesbury's got a great tax-cutting plan, and Texas is
- eager to help. Sunday's Doonesbury strip included a coupon for
- readers who want to follow George Bush's favorite approach:
- making his official residence a posh Houston hotel so as to
- enjoy Texas' nonexistent state income tax. "Howdy!" says the
- coupon, which is addressed to John Sharp, the Texas comptroller.
- "I'd like to become a Texan!" Requests are already pouring in,
- and Sharp is busy sending out real estate ads for would-be
- residents, along with "Honorary Texan" certificates to get them
- started.
