Show Notes
Independence voters prepare for a pivotal mayoral election, with the AI data center project looming large. Both candidates, Bridget McCandless and Kevin King, back the $150B Dutch firm Nebius project, offering tax breaks and promising jobs, school funding, and new development. However, residents concerns over water use, noise, and environmental impact have led to a petition for a public vote. McCandless, who voted for the incentives, sees it as a generational shift, while King advocates for better terms and protections.
