Odessa lawmakers say special session fell short of expectations
Odessa representatives Rep. John Hoestenbach and Rep. Richard Slack say the August special session produced some relief but did not go far enough. They supported about one billion dollars in tax cuts while urging broader measures in education, spending controls, and property tax reform. They also backed proposed constitutional amendments including homestead tax exemptions and farm land tax shifts, warning about market value baselines and statewide boards. Both favored repealing the four percent sales tax on residential utility bills and raising inheritance tax exemptions.
