you when I didn’t pay any income tax, was 1986</a>.”</p><p>The headlines the next day were published in big, stark letters: “Williams Didn’t Pay ’86 Taxes.” The next week, Democrat Ann Richards came from 5 points down to win the 1990 Texas governor’s race.</p><p>“I thought right then, ‘Oh man, we just lost it,’<span class="ng-command" data-value="133"> </span>” said Bill Kenyon, Williams’ former campaign spokesman.</p><p>“But nobody else asked about it.
