Oklahoma Governor Stitt Establishes Beef Industry Advisory Council Amid Import Concerns

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has signed an executive order to create the Oklahoma Beef Industry Advisory Council. This council is tasked with developing recommendations to protect and strengthen the state's beef industry.

The council will be chaired by Oklahoma Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur and will comprise leaders with expertise in cattle production, beef processing, agricultural economics, and market development. Before establishing the council, Governor Stitt held a roundtable discussion with Secretary Arthur and Oklahoma cattle producers to address challenges facing the industry and explore solutions for the state's beef market. Oklahoma is a significant cattle producer, with approximately 4.65 million cattle and calves, including nearly 2 million beef cows.

Oklahoma Governor Stitt Calls for Special Election on Constitutional Convention After 56-Year Delay

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has announced a special election for April 6, 2027, to allow Oklahomans to vote on whether to hold a constitutional convention. This decision comes despite a state constitutional requirement that voters be given this opportunity at least every 20 years, a mandate that has not been met since 1970, marking a 56-year delay. Governor Stitt emphasized that the Oklahoma Constitution is clear on this right, stating, 'It’s been 56 years since the question was sent to the people. This action puts the question to the people and ensures Oklahomans finally get the opportunity their Constitution guarantees.' An executive order accompanying the proclamation instructs the Secretary of State to facilitate the vote and establishes the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention Commission. This commission will study the state's Constitution and recommend procedures and rules for a potential convention, with a report due by December 31, 2026.

Tech Controversies, Including Data Centers and Surveillance Cameras, Drive Utah Political Debate

Additionally, the widespread use of Flock surveillance cameras, which capture vehicle details and movements, is generating public outcry over privacy concerns, with citizens questioning the constitutionality and potential for abuse of such constant monitoring.

USTelecom and NTCA Support Lumos in Ohio Permitting Dispute with FCC Petition

USTelecom and NTCA Support Lumos in Ohio Permitting Dispute with FCC Petition

Industry groups USTelecom and NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association are backing fiber operator Lumos in its request for the FCC to intervene in a permitting dispute with Stark and Mahoning counties in Ohio. Lumos filed a petition in June, alleging that the counties' excessive permitting fees and requirements for fiber buildout projects violate Section 253 of the Communications Act. Lumos claims these prohibitive demands forced it to abandon plans to serve approximately 200,000 homes and businesses in the affected counties, citing a 50% increase in total project costs in Stark County rights-of-way. The County Engineers Association of Ohio (CEAO) and the counties themselves are urging the FCC to exercise caution, arguing that Lumos' claims misrepresent the situation and that the requirements are necessary for public safety and infrastructure management.

Rose Byrne Stars in 'Tow,' a True Underdog Story About an Unhoused Woman's Fight for Her Car

Rose Byrne Stars in 'Tow,' a True Underdog Story About an Unhoused Woman's Fight for Her Car

The film 'Tow,' directed by Stephanie Laing, features Rose Byrne as Amanda Ogle, an unhoused woman battling a towing company to reclaim her car. Ogle, who had been living in her car while trying to maintain sobriety and connect with her daughter, secured a vet tech certification and a new job. However, her car was towed after being found abandoned by the police. The towing company demanded over $260 in fees, which Ogle could not afford. This led her to a prolonged legal struggle, seeking assistance from city offices and eventually a young lawyer named Kevin (Dominic Sessa). During this period, Ogle resided in a shelter run by Barbara (Octavia Spencer) and interacted with other residents like Nova (Demi Lovato), Denise (Ariana DeBose), and Jocelyn (Lea DeLaria). The Seattle newspaper picked up Ogle's story, garnering public support for her cause. The legal battle culminated in court, where the total fees for her 1991 Toyota Camry had escalated to over $21,000.
