Last Wednesday, Lux Claridge planned to speak out against a proposed 1,000 acre data center in their town of Emporia, Kansas. They left in handcuffs after a city commissioner ordered them arrested for clapping.

Bullshit. Prove it. If you could do that you’d win an easy lawsuit against the county.
If they were so pro datacenter they’d be willing to get sued over unequally applied procedural rules then why did they put a moratorium on datacenter permitting.
Oh weird no response. Everybody knows it but apparently there’s no evidence and nobody wants the massive payout.
The pro-datacenter people won’t be making public comment, they are smoozing privately with the decision makers and making them sign NDAs.
You’re talking out of your ass. This county commission put a moratorium on datacenter permitting the same week.
I’m saying broadly, like that other council meeting where the simple question of ‘are you bound by NDA with the company’ was only answered by two of the council members and the rest refused to answer. Every municipality is a bit different, and the one where I grew up pretty blatantly held a meeting, everyone said no, the council said they were rolling with it anyway. Why in the world would a city council go against unanimous expressed public opinion? Because private opinion spoke loader, probably with dollars.
I’m simply stating that none of the public expressions are in support of the datacenters, so there’s no way to compare.
