Odessa Finance Director James Zentner hailed an 18 percent year over year rise in January sales tax after an audit adjustment in the previous year skewed the comparison. The city expects 1.63 million dollars, with the Odessa Development Corp receiving 325,819.93. Nearby areas show mixed results as several Permian Basin towns report declines while oilfield activity slows for the holidays.
