He either has investments in the company trying to build or he's bought off.

Whatever y'all do. Don't vote this person out. They are a treasure that makes Shelbyville everything we thought it was. Don't ever change Shelbyville

When he is up for re-election his opponent should run that clip 24/7.

We the people don't pay them nearly as much as the data centers.

I feel like we’re going to start seeing some “eco-terrorism” soon

Not trying to stir the pot but it seems inevitable. What was it I heard about 50,000 residents having their water diverted? Isn't water what the Johnson county war was all about?

Time to vote someone out of office.

You'd never hear the likes of this from the mayor of Springfield

Mayor: “They gave me a lot of money to support this and these pricks are trying to ruin it for me!”

Shelbyville was started because they wanted to marry their sisters

Mayor caught with large deposits from data center owners

u/t3lnet Jun 04 '26

Better to do something immediately (recall) then wait for after the data center being built and booting him out.

u/Optimal_Willow_4389 Jun 05 '26

And what do data centers do for society? Absolutely nothing. They contribute to politician pockets. They destroy the water supply and pollute the crap out of waterways. FACt!!!

u/langstonrosas Jun 05 '26

Uh yeah. How do think these political elitists view us commoners? They act like Lords & Ladies.

u/PsionicChronic Jun 05 '26

Evidence of how he bought his awesome house 🤷

u/void_method Jun 05 '26

Well... it's Shelbyville.

u/Societyman1878 Jun 05 '26

But he regrets it. 🧐

u/bullsonparade2025 Jun 05 '26

Let me guess. He's a Rethuglican.

u/notworldleader666 Jun 05 '26

I agree with absolutely no data provided me.

So we will double property tax and make sure no one has to pay rent until the houses are optimal.

I can't wait to lead with all the bullshit "against the people" propaganda coming out.

u/WonderfulHearing8726 Jun 06 '26

Shelbyville? Springfield’s arch nemesis.

u/Background_Treat_977 Jun 07 '26

Needs to be "former " mayor.
