Austin, TX is a liberal paradise. You can talk the high-tax, compassionate talk, without walking the walk.

Fairly uncommon I believe, but I would just google the answer to your question instead. AFAIK, NY is the exception in the population of towns cities, but not necessarily among big cities - Philadelphia has one I believe. I think it's decided locally, but collected by the state.

Thanks! It's quite complex, there can be taxes even on lower levels (school district) apparently. I guess that underlines your point, Austin or any other city could levy taxes if they really wanted to.

It might require a change to state law, but yeah...I'm sure, if they really wanted to, they could do that, or if Austinites were really serious about their views, they could leave Austin for a more liberal state.
