A Maysville resident rejected claims that opposition to a proposed data center was politically motivated or coordinated on behalf of Luis Lopez. The writer said the campaign was driven by concerns about the project's location near a school and criticized officials for not addressing requests for acoustic monitoring and noise mitigation.

The letter also alleged open-records and open-meetings violations and faulted Mayor Presley and other local officials for approving the project site and for their handling of Lopez's arrest following public comments at a city council meeting. No specific company or formal legal action was identified.
