What happened
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond filed a motion in Rogers County asking the judge to speed up evidence collection in a lawsuit against companies planning an aluminum smelter in Inola. Drummond seeks records, including engineering, financing, ownership, and compliance data, before construction begins. Both Century Aluminum Company and Aluminum Oklahoma oppose the motion, which seeks to bypass a pending motion to dismiss.

Why it matters
The motion requires the companies to respond to discovery requests immediately, providing the public with emissions estimates and corporate records. Drummond stated that the companies hold the only data showing what the smelter will release into the air and onto the land around Inola.
