Problem: The "traditionalistic individualistic" political culture of Texas has led to which of the following? Strengthening the connections between state and local governments to ensure that all levels of government operate in coordination with each other. No personal income tax and reduced levels of social services compared to many other states. Deregulation of the sale of alcohol and tobacco to anyone over the age of 18. Same-day voter registration to ensure that all Texans can have their voice heard on Election Day.
