3. John Whitmire calls Woodlands deal a win-win. Chris Hollins disagrees. (houstonchronicle.com) — A proposed deal between The Woodlands Township and Houston would let The Woodlands keep all its sales tax after 2030 and permanently block annexation, while sending Houston $50 million over four years.
