Lifting oil export ban touted as bipartisanship boost
The push to lift the crude oil export ban gains bipartisan backing in Congress led by PBPA members and Rep Barton and Chairman Conaway. Boehner and Upton argue benefits include lower pump prices, jobs, and a stronger economy, while White House opposes ending subsidies and calls for a low carbon shift. Critics say the measure favors big oil and would require replacing exported oil with imports, with Iran sanctions attached and industry reactions mixed.

Texas men face steep penalties in meth trafficking case
Two Texas men Sergio Contreras of Penitas and Oscar Martinez of Weslaco face federal charges for conspiring to possess and distribute pure meth in South Mississippi from 2013 to 2014. If convicted, each could receive 10 years to life in prison. The indictment notes more than 50 grams of meth, crystal meth or ice, were involved. Both were arrested in August, brought to Gulfport in September, with a tentative trial set for November 2 and a pre trial conference October 20. A public defender for Martinez has withdrawn over a conflict of interest.
