Upshur County Redistricting Nears Completion
Upshur County commissioners met over three days this week to finalize redistricting on a population basis in line with a Supreme Court ruling. Commissioner Charles Still pushed for per mile funding for roads, citing 55 extra miles in precinct 3 and a 20 year history of equal four way division. A large precinct 3 delegation pressed for road relief as they described impassable winter conditions and rough dirt surfaces seeking funding answers from the court.

East Texas oil fields push back on compulsory unitization
Opponents in East Texas dispute HB 311 and SB 120 proposing compulsory unitization of oil fields. Local chambers, independents, and industry groups oppose the plan, warning it could curb production incentives and allow major interests to dominate. Senate opponents note safeguards and amendments may be added amid broad regional resistance.
