cirdecus I live near and know people who live in Festus and i can tell you that almost NO ONE wants a datacenter there who lives there. A small city council should not be making decisions for 14,000 people that are this impactful. Let them speak and vote on the measure and better yet, take a poll every 6 months to see if your small city council's ideas align with the community they represent. I don't have an opinion on whether the datacenter should or shouldn't be there. Reply

Well maybe next time don't let your population give the title of major to whoever heads the city council, maybe then they won't get too carried away with their new found powers. Reply
Findecanor My interpretation of the article is that the Festus city council had broken the law. Then of course they should be ousted, and any building plans that had been the result of law-breaking should automatically get cancelled. I think that's obvious. This issue is not even about AI data centres in particular. Reply
x86guy For those of you who don't know, Missouri has a track record of not listen to the people. Couple of years ago we voted on and passed a thing on Abortion, legalizing it. The government basically said "yeah, no". This isn't the first nor last time it will happen. The government is corrupt as hell. Our governor is a literal used car salesman. Hopefully people will start doing things like this. Reply
