Overcoming Impact of Extreme Weather

Tulsa, Oklahoma, a city known for its vibrant culture and strong sense of community, has faced several extreme weather events recently. From tornadoes to straight winds over 100 mph, nature’s fury can cause disruption and personal hardship. As a business owner, I have witnessed the profound impact on the people of Tulsa.

The increasing frequency and severity of weather events in Tulsa have brought about a range of challenges for its residents. Power outages, displacement from homes, and disruptions to employment are just some of the many issues that people have to contend with in the wake of these storms. Families are forced to leave their homes, businesses face damage and loss, and entire communities are left reeling from the aftermath of such events.

As a self storage business owner with a self storage facility in Tulsa, I have seen how these weather events have a direct impact on the demand for storage solutions.

OK AG Drummond Testimony to Congress

Attorney General Gentner Drummond today told a U.S. House subcommittee how a revised rule by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will have devastating consequences for Oklahoma and other states. Drummond had been invited by the House Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials to deliver testimony for a hearing titled “EPA’s RMP Rule: Failures to Protect the American People and American Manufacturing.” The subcommittee is part of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Drummond told subcommittee members he has filed a number of lawsuits against the Biden Administration for federal overreach, but the agency he has litigated more than any other is the EPA.

“Unfortunately, EPA consistently promotes policies and issues rules that are bad for businesses, harmful to consumers, and outright hostile to America’s oil and gas industry,” he said. “The rule under review today is no exception.”

Slated to take effect Friday, the expanded final rule of the EPA’s Risk Management Program (RMP) will impact facilities that handle threshold quantities of specific chemicals.
