Texas Railroad Commissioner Ryan Sitton listens to concerned residents during a town hall meeting about a proposed injection well in Arlington at the Meadowbrook Community Center. More than 150 people filled seats and bleachers in the center.

The top local stories this morning from ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº:

Residents sounded off last night at over a proposed saltwater injection well near Lake Arlington.

Oil and gas company Bluestone says it needs the well to dispose of wastewater from its nearby operations. Fort Worth, Arlington, and the regional water board have filed protests against the application. They’re concerned the well could pollute drinking water.

The Railroad Commission will hold a public hearing next month in Austin about Bluestone’s permit application.
