堪萨斯州托皮卡市：多名市议员拒绝与数据中心开发商私下会面
堪萨斯州托皮卡市多名市议员公开表示，不会与数据中心开发商Compass Datacenters单独会面。此前，保护堪萨斯组织联合创始人艾米·吉莱特于11月10日指出，市议员们已收到开发商的单独会面请求，却未向公众说明，并要求他们公开表态。市议员布雷特·凯尔、大卫·班克斯、米歇尔·布拉德伯里、默里·麦吉、米歇尔·霍弗雷尔与克里斯蒂娜·瓦尔迪维亚-阿尔卡拉在11月10日会议结束时或会后向《托皮卡首府日报》明确表示拒绝单独会面。市长斯宾塞·邓肯未表态是否会单独会面，但表示目前没有安排与该公司的会面。Compass Datacenters计划在托皮卡建设数据中心，项目引发当地对用水、用电与土地使用的关注。市议会尚未就该项目作出正式决定。
Topeka, Kansas: Several City Council Members Refuse Private Meetings With Data Center Developer
Several Topeka, Kansas, city council members have publicly stated they will not meet privately with data center developer Compass Datacenters. Amy Gillette, co-founder of the group Protect Kansas, pointed out on November 10 that council members had received individual meeting requests from the developer without telling the public, and asked them to state their positions openly.
Council members Brett Kell, David Banks, Michelle Bradbury, Murray McGee, Michelle Hoferer and Christina Valdivia-Alcala made clear to The Topeka Capital-Journal at the end of the November 10 meeting or afterwards that they refused one-on-one meetings. Mayor Spencer Duncan did not say whether he would meet privately but said no meeting with the company is currently scheduled.
Compass Datacenters plans to build a data center in Topeka, a project that has raised local concerns about water use, electricity and land use. The city council has not yet made a formal decision on the project.
