Salem's city council voted unanimously to pursue a data center moratorium after residents - and a guillotine - pushed back on a $5.1 billion AI facility.
Would love to, but no. Instead of direct adoption, the council said they’d conduct “studies” on the claimed demerits and come back to it afterwards.
While there is a chance the “studies” will agree with the protestors’ claims, it’s more likely a small bribe will get the go ahead anyway or they merely retreated to sign the contract behind closed doors.
With all the trumpeteering going around, i wouldn’t be too hopeful about the end result.

Sounds like they didn’t get the memo
they must want a demonstration
Sounds like they need to bring them to the next meeting too.
And cut some melons for everyone to enjoy.
I’ve honestly been considering a melon slicee like that too, to bring to protests. I think it’s time.
People do enjoy melons.
