Inola’s Smelter Fight Intensifies | Tulsa News

Inola’s voters just handed Mike Mazzei a win in the Oklahoma governor’s race — but locals are furious. The Republican victory threatens to derail their legal battle against a $4 billion aluminum smelter project, backed by a UAE company and opposed by many residents who supported Gentner Drummond’s challenge. With Mazzei’s platform calling for foreign ownership removal, the smelter’s deal feels like a betrayal.
