@cbsnews: Memphis has become an epicenter of the fight against data center development in the U.S. — something that's been driven by Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI, which operates three data centers in Memphis and the surrounding region, with two more under construction. On Tuesday, community members gathered at city hall in support of a moratorium to pause data center development for a year saw the ordinance fail, with council members voting in favor of a 135-day pause instead. The move comes after protests broke out in the city council chamber earlier this month following the council's decision to postpone a vote on the yearlong moratorium. @laurenfichten spoke with community members and was inside the council chamber that evening. #memphis #tennessee #datacenter #datacenters

The candidates approaches the voter( you) asking for your vote and once they’re officially in office they do as they damn well pleased this goes for local , state and federal elected leaders. They’re not listening to the voters.
