Governor Kehoe said MO is open for AI and Data Centers.

Erin Brockovich is back at it - setting her sights on Big Tech’s AI boom.

She’s calling the data‑center land rush the next great environmental shakedown of American communities, and the early evidence is backing her up. Her new self‑reporting map at brockovichdatacenter.com pulled in more than 1,600 complaints in the first week alone, with residents flagging everything from noise pollution to spiking utility bills to serious water‑depletion risks.

And the pattern she’s seeing is the same old song: corporations roll in promising “jobs and tax revenue,” local officials fast‑track approvals with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there end up holding the bag — stuck with the noise, the bills, the water strain, and the long‑term consequences.

Gov Mike Kehoe wants data centers throughout Missouri. Kehoe owns a 700 acre horse ranch. He can show his true interest in these centers by putting one on his property…

The meeting is open to the public. 

P.S. That picture of Kehoe is AI generated. It took me about 10 minutes to try  to figure out who it was supposed to be.

“The lawsuit argues that language is unfair and insufficient because it does not tell voters that the amendment would allow lawmakers to

⚫️ tax services now protected from sales taxes,
⚫️ would temporarily exempt certain tax increases from constitutional limits on new annual revenue and
⚫️ would permanently bar lawmakers from reimposing an individual income tax once it is eliminated.”

This article is one every Missourian should read. We deserve to know what we are voting on and it should be presented in a clear and unbiased/neutral manner.
