    Another lying headline. You all will up vote anything that makes you mad without reading it or thinking critically at all.

    • Residents didn’t vote on this, the town board did
    • The town board was sued by the developers
    • The developers were likely to win so the town settled and got some concessions from the developer

      I mean, it’s shady for headlines, but it’s not false. The board are residents, and the did vote it down. Then they “settled” and I’m betting it was a pittance compared to the data center value. In reality, it was probably a situation where whomever was backing the data center said to throw lawyers and/or money at the problem until it went away.
