Not good news for CH2M, Texas loves to pay companies millions of dollars to move to Texas and then makes sure they pay no taxes or a small token tax.  Jacobs will say how great Texas is without an income tax and how you can buy a big house for less money.  They always leave out the part about Texas having the third highest property taxes and one of the highest sales tax, and plan on spending a lot of money on all the expensive toll roads.
   My property taxes on a 330k house near Dallas is $8200.00 and a sales tax of 8.25%.  Those that move here from Denver are in for a shock, flat land and not much to do in Dallas.
