Midland DWI test plan faces funding split across counties
Midland County plans to underwrite a DWI breath test program but risks losing state support if Ector and Howard counties opt out. County Attorney Scott Henderson proposes Midland fund about one third of costs, with Ector 48 percent and Howard 18 percent. Without cooperation, services and certifications for Intoxilyzers in Odessa, Midland, and Big Spring could be jeopardized.
