While we haven’t heard of a local jurisdiction getting sued for passing a data center ban, one Texas senator warned a county in the state that it cannot legally impose this . So, the commissioners are likely being careful to avoid legal issues, even if they’re in another state.

TechieTwo Trying to usurp the will of the people is unwise. Elected officials are supposed to represent the people not their personal POVs. Reply

nucflashevent The second people start doing the death threats nonsense is when they immediately loose all credibility. I don't blame the town council at all for shutting down a bunch of muckrakers who simply want to feel important without actually doing anything that requires actual work :/ TechieTwo said: Trying to usurp the will of the people is unwise.

These elected officials are doing EXACTLY what they are supposed to do, THEY'RE GOVERNING. If the people don't like it, they can throw them out of office at the next ELECTION, trying to stop government because you aren't getting your way isn't "patriotism", it's anarchy. Reply

Arkitekt78 Local elections matter. More so than the losers at the federal level. When you allow people like this into your city and county councils, you get what you get. Reply
