YOUR COMMENTS:

>> ilovejolie86: "Our "parks" need MAJOR improvement!
"And I sure hope the drainage projects will center around University from Andrews to Dawn because that area gets flooded bad!
"Is all of this in addition to the money EZRider is requesting on their own I guess? Yikes, seems like everyone is scrabbling to get their hands in that cookie jar..."

>> alyce51: "Dumb ! Odessa council members please be careful what you wish for!
"Will fixing the sewer help our water problems (IE: the smell of the water or the taste) Not all odessans can afford the RO filters , so would the city offer that for free?
"Maybe put that in your plans of stifling the Stimulus Stealing Plan !"
