• Residents' problem solved after News 4 steps in (kfor.com) — Residents at Diamond Lake Apartments in Oklahoma City are no longer facing a water shutoff after the complex finally paid more than $1,700 owed to the city utilities department. Tenants say they'd received cutoff notices despite paying water through rent, and management blamed a vendor transition for months of unpaid bills. The complex has apologized and promised steps to prevent a repeat.
   

• Valley Forge Military College is weighing a move to Oklahoma over a legal dispute with Radnor Township (inquirer.com) — A Pennsylvania military college considering leaving Radnor Township over legal and tax disputes says Oklahoma officials have offered it a new campus in Oklahoma City and a partnership with the Oklahoma National Guard. The school's board chair, who has deep Oklahoma ties, is weighing that option while insisting tax-exempt status is crucial to staying open. Ongoing talks could eventually bring a new military-focused campus and related economic activity to the city.
