## Resource

A judge just sided with citizens in Edgerton, ruling the city can’t block a petition to ban data centers — a move that gathered over 200 signatures and seeks to classify them as nuisances. The city’s lawsuit, seen by some as an attempt to silence opposition to its $860 million data center project, failed because it violated state petition rights. While the petition is now back on track, the legality of banning data centers remains unresolved. This isn’t isolated — similar projects in De Soto and Gardner have sparked fierce local resistance, highlighting growing tensions over tech infrastructure’s environmental and community impacts. The battle for Edgerton’s future is far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
