AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Aluminum Smelter Fight: Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is pushing for a federal preliminary injunction to halt construction of the proposed Inola aluminum smelter, arguing the project could harm nearby residents while a city moratorium nears its end. Gubernatorial Runoff: In the GOP governor runoff, Drummond and Mike Mazzei sparred over issues including the Inola smelter, tax policy, and education, with fact-checkers flagging competing claims about land deals and related figures. Utility Rates: Summit Utilities is seeking a performance-based rate adjustment tied to 2025 spending on distribution mains, not a new data-center-driven rate structure—though the timing is sure to fuel public concern. Housing Habitability: A new report highlights tenants’ limited remedies when landlords fail to provide essential services, citing Oklahoma cases where air conditioning, water, and electricity issues leave residents stuck. Energy & Industry: Oklahoma-based IBL Elements is testing oilfield water recycling in Kazakhstan, aiming to treat produced water for reuse and study mineral recovery potential. Workforce/Training: Indian Capital Technology Center earned its 15th Gold Star School Award, underscoring continued career-tech investment tied to business and industry needs. Sports Business: The NBA released the 2026-27 schedule, with LeBron James’ 76ers debut at the Knicks’ season opener drawing record secondary-market ticket prices.
