County votes to eliminate emergency management dept in 3-2 decision
Ector County Commissioners voted to dissolve the emergency management department and its one full-time position in a move projected to save about 100000 while facing a tighter budget. Judge Susan Redford and Commissioner Dale Childers opposed the measure, as others supported the cut amid slower oil activity and expected lower mineral revenues.
