Judge throws out lawsuit over Independence data center, sides with city

A judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging a tax incentive plan for a proposed data center in Independence, Missouri, siding with the city. The lawsuit, filed by the "Stop the AI Data Center in Independence" group, aimed to force a public vote on a $150.6 billion tax abatement granted to Medius U.S. Despite the ruling, the opposition group plans to appeal and continue gathering signatures for a referendum.
