Missouri voters recall official over data-centre support
Initial election results indicate that voters in Independence, Missouri, have recalled a city council member who supported billions of dollars in tax breaks for a data centre. The New York Times feed says the recall won overwhelming backing. It does not name the official, provide the margin or detail the proposed project’s financial terms.
Why it matters
The vote shows local resistance to costly incentives for the rapidly expanding data-centre industry.
