LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Let citizens have chickens

One thing that this “virus” crisis has shown is that once again the City Council has failed the citizens of Odessa. I have watched senior citizens walking as fast as they can just to get a dozen eggs, realizing when they get there that they have already sold out. The people of Odessa deserve the right to be just a little bit self-sufficient. Every town surrounding us allows a small amount of backyard chickens, even Midland allows them.
