I would like, for everyone to go look at the registered sex offender maps. And one thing that you will notice, if you haven’t already, all of these people try to group around schools and be as close as they can to public parks. Texas law protects the inside of our schools, but it leaves our city parks wide open. Cities like Cleburne and others have successfully pushed their local ordinance boundaries out to 2,000 feet. I would love if residence of Corpus Christi, would come to the City Council meetings and demand the council double our buffer zone to 2,000 feet to push high-risk offenders entirely away from neighborhood parks, playgrounds, schools anywhere there is a Child Safety Zone. This will not apply to offenders already next to them, but I feel like we should start making it more of a priority to protect our kids. And let these people know, that we are watching and know what they are doing. Our kids should be able to go to parks without worrying about weirdos, our kids should be able to walk down the sidewalk without thinking they might get snatched up. I really want everyone to realize, how much we keep our kids from doing the things they want to do, and how much fun things we have to take away from them because there is straight weirdos. We need to start making it a priority to stop the weirdos, instead of stopping our kids from having fun and doing what they want to do. And I want y’all to know they are lurking, they’re watching post to. All the residents of Corpus Christi, should be letting these weirdos know that we are done with this. And we are honestly done just letting the law handle this stuff because nothing gets done that way, they just get let them right back out.

For everyone who doesn’t know, we have one of the biggest AI data centers coming right outside city limits with the parking lot still in Corpus Christi. Peter Zanoni the city manager already came out and said, that they're going to be getting 10,000 gallons of water per day from Corpus Christi for the bathrooms. It's not for the bathrooms, it's for when they have to flush that system out and put new water into it. For some reason, people think that that water just stays there and doesn't evaporate at some point or turn into the sludge from all the chemicals. And they have to use so much more electricity for the closed loop cooling system, and they have too consume millions of gallons of water at the power plant, to put the electricity out to the data center. The facility needs 1 gigawatt of electricity, which is about the equivalent of one million homes plugging into the power grid all at once. It is definitely going to raise rates on electricity it doesn't matter if they pay their full bills. That is an insane amount of electricity that needs to be used and it is going to raise the rates on electricity for residents of Corpus Christi, and all surrounding areas. Oh and I hope we haven’t forgotten about the crypto mining data facility already here in Corpus Christi. That was using way more water, than it was supposed to be using and probably still is. The city tried to keep that for resident why trust them on any of this.

So if people get beat in their own homes by CCPD Officers, where they can have a security camera in their living room to catch it on video. What do we think is happening to the people on our streets that have no homes to have security cameras in them. The majority of police interactions are with the homeless so how do we think they are being treated? Oh yeah, and they’re still just investigating this he is not in jail.

The Corpus Christi City Council didn't get a vote on the Beacon Point AI Data Center Campus zoning. Instead, county-level officials and industrial promoters pushed it through behind closed doors. Why? Because placing high-impact industrial projects right outside city limits on unincorporated county land is a tactical loophole. It completely bypasses strict city voting, public zoning hearings, and resident opposition. By moving the project just past the boundary line, they intentionally stripped Corpus Christi residents of our choice and our voice all while expecting our shared grid and regional resources to pay the price. We gotta think about how much electricity is being used. Think of electricity like a sponge. To make a single megawatt of power, a power plant has to soak up and boil away hundreds of gallons of water. When a data center sucks up massive amounts of electricity it is secretly draining millions of gallons of water from Texas rivers and lakes to keep the lights on. Data centers claim they save water by using closed loop cooling. But that is a shell game. Closed loop cooling takes more electricity to run, and the power plants supplying that electricity have to burn fuel and boil massive amounts of water to generate it. They aren't saving water they are just shifting the water bill to the power grid, they get deals an tax breaks because of how much electricity they use which is pushed off to the residence of these communities. Our electricity rates are supposed to double by 2030.
