Yep. They cannot stand that diluting rural votes by cracking #SaltLakeCity into all four US House districts frustrated rural GOP voters enough to vote for an independent redistricting commission.

This is just their latest action in the war to wrestling power back from the people.

This plus the recent #BoxElderCounty #AI humongous data center.

Eventually #Utahns are going to clue in and stop voting GOP.

Name and shame.

All rich, powerful, white men in development and/or real estate with conflicts if interest galore.

Who serves on MIDA? Here’s a breakdown of each board member behind plans for a massive Box Elder County data center.

Elected officials, department heads, developers and a lobbyist make up the powerful group.

#StuartAdams, who has been in the news several times for corruption like his Qatar junket and changing the law to protect his statutory rapist relative, is yet again in the news for corruption.

Stuart Adams PAC received $135,000 from MIDA-connected donors days after approving controversial data center

Utah Senate President Stuart Adams' political action committee collected $135,000 from five MIDA-connected donors in a single day — the five largest donations in the PAC's history — just days after Adams chaired the approval of Kevin O'Leary's controversial 40,000-acre data center in northern Utah.

‘So much worse than I even thought’: Utah’s ‘hyperscale’ data center could create massive heat island near Great Salt Lake

Skeptics of the proposed hyperscale data center in Box Elder County are sweating about a lot more than its energy demands and potential toll on water supplies.

What a quote.

"O’Leary, a Canadian, said in his video that 'people who live in Utah aren’t stupid,' and they 'see this happening and realize, "Why am I letting people who don’t even live in my state make decisions for me?"'"

Kevin O’Leary says data center campus protesters were ‘bused in’ from out of state

In a video posted to X, celebrity “Shark Tank” investor Kevin O’Leary said most of those who protested his massive data center project came from out of state, and that many who have opposed the project online were paid protesters.

What #BoxElderCounty residents don't understand is that when a billionaire really, really wants something, our #GOP leaders really, really want to give it to him.

Poor billionaire #Kevin_O_Leary is already being slowed down in his data center project in #Alberta. Why shouldn't he get a much easier process in drought-ravaged #Utah?

It's for a good cause. "Winning" a pointless, unmeasurable "race" with scary China on an unreliable, Magic 8 Ball technology. Isn't that more important than your measly air, water, land?
