Odessa Feud Between Mayor Bryant and Seabolt Deepens
Long standing power struggle in Odessa pits Mayor Bob Bryant against City Council member Houston Seabolt. Their clashes over police department issues and city finance highlight a volatile political feud. Seabolt pursued a New York trip for bond ratings and questioned interviews for a city manager post, while Bryant criticized expenses and procedures. The feud traces to Seabolt’s 1981 petition calling police conditions deplorable and his bid to fund a multi million dollar bond issue for new facilities.

Water rights may lead to Texas last rites
Texas water experts warn supplies cannot sustain current demand and future growth threatens a lifestyle many Texans expect. Gov. Bill Clements and regional leaders frame water as a regional, emotionally charged issue with potential intercounty burdens. Rainfall varies widely across the state, and planners predict a shortfall by 2000 of up to 8.5 million acre-feet despite vast groundwater reserves. Aquifers currently provide 69 percent of Texas water, risking long term agriculture and urban needs.
