County's soft touch is attributed to the data center being 'our largest customer, and we have to be partners.'

    A bit of quick research tells me that 29 million gallons of water costs about $150,000… so when can we expect the construction company to be charged with grand larceny?

      Nothing in the article about them even being back-charged for the water they used. Literally just some nonsense about not fining them.

      I don’t think that grand larceny charge is coming. Just a hunch.
