ODESSA, Midland — Midland Mayor Patrick Payton and Odessa Mayor Javier Joven came together last night to discuss the future of the Basin.
One of the main topics discussed was the county sales tax impact in Odessa and how it will effect cities planning to annex areas in the future.
"That is a very big concern because that's not something that's just local," Joven said. "That's something that's going to effect every city, every county across the state, and so if there is anything that stands out its how were going to work that out, and we have to work that out.
