• Judge weighs latest challenge to Inola smelter petition as debate reaches White House (fox23.com) — Inola residents are watching closely as a Rogers County judge considers whether two local voters can intervene in the court fight over a petition to ban primary aluminum smelting in town. The case, separate from the state attorney general’s lawsuit, could affect an April 2027 vote on the $4 billion smelter at the Tulsa Port of Inola, which supporters tout for jobs and opponents fear for environmental and property impacts.
