Data centers: A hot-mic conversation leads to a discussion of what government transparency means

A citizen coalition in Miami County, Indiana, expressed frustration after a hot-mic conversation between county commissioners suggested a decision on a data center ordinance was made before a public meeting. The coalition claims this violates Indiana's Open Door Law, while commissioners argue the ordinance provides necessary protection for the county. Despite citizen concerns, the ordinance, which includes setbacks and noise limits, was unanimously approved.
