I wonder why they didn’t contact the Department of Environmental Quality. As an oil operator and a land owner that has been impacted by oilfield pollution, I can’t understand why they didn’t contact an environmental attorney who would know what consulting firms to hire to do more thorough investigations than the state would do. If a lawsuit was filed and found in their favor, they could possibly have all these services paid for out of the proceeds of the lawsuit.
Easier to say in retrospect and with knowledge of the industry. If I was a homeowner and reported it to the state and they acted like they were doing their jobs, I would not know to go to yet a different state agency and I certainly would not decide to pay an attorney to make what I thought was happening happen.
I would hope they hired an attorney well versed in pollution cases. That’s what our regular attorney advised us to do.

Senate Bill Seeks Felony Charges for Transition Care
Small government my a$$. Oh please rule over me . Demand People be just like you Shame Jett. To quote my late father, “Republicans are great at getting elected, but piss poor at governance “.
Senate Bill 1905 seeks to make providing gender transition related medical care a felony and to prohibit public funds from going to organizations that provide or support such care.
The measure was introduced for the 2026 legislative session and has been referred to committee. It has not become law yet.
The bill would prohibit any transgender associated procedures, medications, treatments, hormones and pharmaceuticals for any person in Oklahoma. The prohibition would apply to both minors and adults.
Under the proposal, any person who provides such care would be guilty of a felony. Physicians and other licensed providers who violate the ban could face professional discipline and potential malpractice liability.
The bill authorizes the Oklahoma Attorney General to pursue criminal and civil enforcement actions.
The measure would also bar state agencies and programs from using public funds to pay for or reimburse transition related care. The restriction would apply to Medicaid, the state employee health plan and other forms of state funding.
The proposal includes an exception for mental health counseling intended to align a person with their biological sex at birth.
Senate Bill 1905 was authored and introduced by Republican State Senator Shane Jett of Oklahoma. Link to the bill in the comments.
Republicans might as well support transgender care by suicide. Some time ago a Republican Montana legislator said she'd sooner her child commit suicide than go through gender transitioning. If Republicans would just give a prayer of thanks to God for not having gender dysphoria and leave those people alone, it would sure help humanity.
