Odessa court mulls forensic center fate amid budget squeeze
County officials discussed keeping the Ector County Forensic Center open as expenses exceeded income by about 128000 from March 2010 to March 2011. Efforts center on recruiting a pathologist to Odessa, with former Miller considered for contract autopsies. Local law enforcement backed retention, citing cost savings on transport and autopsies. The court tabled action pending auditor review and considered regional partnership options while approving department restructures and a hiring freeze. A budget workshop launched the process with a goal of a balanced budget and current spending levels.
