What happened
On November 9, Gentner Drummond filed a discovery motion in Rogers County regarding a proposed smelter in Inola. The motion requires Century Aluminum Company and Aluminum Oklahoma to provide information on ownership, financing, and contracts. The smelter is reportedly part of a strategic partnership between the United States and the United Arab Emirates, with Emirates Global Aluminum owning sixty percent of the project.

Why it matters
The legal action challenges the progression of the smelter project, which was awarded up to $500 million in federal funds and $255 million in incentives from Oklahoma. This regulatory action could threaten the viability of the major state-backed investment from the United Arab Emirates.
Gentner Drummond is currently competing in the Republican runoff for Governor of Oklahoma against Mike Mazzei, while Cyndi Munson holds the Democratic nomination.
