I’m not one for politics, but this is absolutely outrageous and a blatant disregard for the voices our “leaders” represent.

We’re not talking about approving a new Subway or Walmart. We’re talking about a massive data center that will be bigger than Provo. Regardless of what it is, anything of this scale should be required to have public comment. The fact they’re pushing so hard to not have our input is shady, scandalous and outright irresponsible.

# What options do we have?

A protest is being organized by the Friends of Great Salt Lake. They provide you with all the information you need to fill out a protest form as well as a stock statement you can copy and paste. Or you can provide your own statement. You will submit the protest form directly to the state of water rights. The state requires a $15 fee, however, you can protest for free by using the email method.

# THIS MUST BE DONE TODAY! DEADLINE IS TODAY (5/5)

Guys, this is a plea from me to help out and stand out. This new data center will be horrible for our state. We will see no benefit from it at all. Our representatives clearly have their hands in other’s pockets and they’re insulting us when we call them out on it.

We are not babies.

We are not children.

We will not be brushed off and ignored.

You represent us, and we are not being heard.

So we will scream louder.

We will be heard, and you will listen.

Please protest today: https://fogsl.org/newsroom/file-a-protest-against-the-box-elder-data-center-water-rights-application
