Special election filing date set by Ballot Administrator
Ballot Administrator Mitzi Scheible outlined that hopefuls for the special election must file with the secretary of state by 5 p.m. on August 29 and pay a $750 fee. She noted the general election listings and the unexpired term race would appear separately on the ballot, and a summary page will aid voters. District 81 covers Ector, Andrews and Winkler counties, with contact options at West’s Odessa office and the Austin legislative office for questions before November. Erin Tresner, West’s chief of staff, said Gov. Perry’s office indicated no further special election for the remainder of the term, barring legal requirements to call one.

Odessa City Council approved funding for Keep Odessa Beautiful from hotel motel tax revenues, diverting about 840000 of unused money back into the tax coffers. Officials said not all outside agency requests were funded in full to avoid dependency amid potential economic downturn, with major allocations to the Bureau, the Council for the Arts and Humanities and other groups.
