@petelynch4ky: On July 30, I spoke at the Planning Commission’s public hearing on the zoning ordinance text amendment currently being considered in Lexington, KY. During my 3 minutes, I advocated for a national moratorium on AI data centers and offered five zoning regulations that, taken together, would block all data center development. As expected, neither my Republican opponent (Ralph Alvarado) nor my Democratic opponent (Zach Dembo) showed up to speak out against AI data center development. They haven’t shown up to any local events related to data centers. Unsurprisingly, Alvarado and Dembo are also going to be no-shows at the state of Kentucky’s first-ever candidate forum on AI data centers, which has 8 confirmed candidates who will speak—including candidates at the local, state, and federal levels. The candidate forum is tomorrow (Sunday, August 2) from 6-8pm at Old Fort Harrod State Park in Harrodsburg, KY. #datacenter #politics #kentucky #lexingtonky #ky06
