  6. #Arkansas Advocate: Arkansas Explained -- Understanding the #Datacenter boom and debate

    by Ainsley Platt, Arkansas Advocate May 23, 2026

    "Hailed by officials and economic developers as a boon to the state, data center projects heading to Arkansas are facing increasing scrutiny and calls for local regulations.

    "Since an overhaul of energy permitting laws credited with luring more data centers was enacted last year, companies have announced plans for five such projects statewide. Two of them are already under construction.

    "But the rapid announcements and #secretive negotiations with local governments and business chambers have prompted an outcry from some #Arkansans. Reassurances from utilities that costs won’t be shifted to existing customers haven’t assuaged fears.

    [...]

    "In central Arkansas, residents opposed to #datacenters crowded into board rooms in #ConwayAK and #LittleRockAK, while many more commented on social media videos and posts expressing their dismay over data center projects.

    "Momentum for regulations on data centers is also picking up in Arkansas’ most-populous county, even after the Pulaski County Quorum Court voted to send proposed regulations to the county planning department for a 90-day review.

    "Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott, Jr. who stood with supporters at a press conference last week, announced his support Tuesday for data center regulations.

    "Wendell Griffen, the Democratic nominee for Pulaski County’s top elected position who wrote Pulaski County’s proposed regulations, has made data center regulation a central part of his campaign. Griffen has pushed for the quorum court to enact an emergency moratorium."

  11. RE: mastodon.social/@IndyMediaAus/

    I’ve been thinking. Maybe, we’ve all got it wrong and #AlboPM is not colluding with the #GasIndustry at all and there are good reasons why he is not slapping a substantial #GasExpotTax on those bloddy #Grifters and their #Shareholders. But we just don’t know about it. Sure it would help if #AlboPM manned up and explain himself without using dumb soundbites and quips that, translated, mean we’re all dimwits and wouldn’t understand even if he told us. Hell, it would be good enough if he told his cabinet the ‘good reasons’ not to so that his cabinet could tell us the things #AlboPM can’t … for some reason…

    But no… of course not… he is such a #Secretive little gnome.
    Anyway, read the article and feel better by knowing you’re nor the only one who thinks #AlboPM ‘s got it massively wrong. Sad sack that he is.

    after the student-run newspaper found that he awarded #secretive #consulting #contracts and gave high-paying #obs to former members of his U.S. Senate staff and Republican allies — actions that he defended Friday.
    Both Gov. #Ron #DeSantis and Florida’s chief financial officer are calling on the state university system’s Board of Governors to #investigate after The Independent Florida Alligator reported this week that as school president,
    #Sasse gave six former staffers and two former Republican officials jobs with 🔸salaries that outstripped comparable positions🔸
    👉. Most did not move to Gainesville, but work remotely from hundreds of miles away.
    The former Nebraska senator became the school’s president in February 2023.
    Overall, Sasse’s office 💥spent $17.3 million 💥during his first year
    compared to the ❇️$5.6 million ❇️spent by his predecessor Ken Fuchs in his final year.
    The university has an overall budget of $9 billion.

  25. Billionaire #Charles #Koch, who turned 88 on November 1, is funneling his wealth into two #secretive #organizations that can continue his right-wing political advocacy for years.
    Koch structured more than $5 billion in donations to exploit a loophole to allow him to avoid paying capital gains or gift taxes.
    It's not surprising that Koch is familiar with the loophole — he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying to create it. 

    According to a profile published in Forbes, in 2022, Koch donated $4.3 billion in Koch Industries stock to 🔸Believe in People🔸, a newly formed 501(c)4 nonprofit organization.
    The organization is run by Koch's inner circle, including #Chase #Koch, his son, #Dave #Robertson, co-CEO of Koch Industries, and #Brian #Hooks, the co-author of Charles Koch's last book.
    The organization is so new, it has no publicly available filings.

    In 2020, Koch also donated $975 million in Koch Industries stock to #CCKc4, another 501(c)4 organization controlled exclusively by Chase Koch. (The organization's name is his initials.)
    In its 2020 IRS filing, CCKc4 listed its mission as "N/A." 

    But while little is known about the current activities of Believe in People or CCKc4, as 501(c)4 organizations, a large percentage of their assets
    — in this case, billions of dollars
    — can be spent directly on political campaigns.
    Koch was able to make this money available for political spending without paying a dime in taxes

    Koch's main political spending vehicle, 🔸Americans for Prosperity Action 🔸(AFP Action), spent $63,401,608 supporting Republican candidates for federal office, $5,576,858 opposing Democratic candidates, and zero dollars supporting Democratic candidates.
    86.7% of AFP Action's spending bolstered candidates who were endorsed by Trump, according to a review of campaign finance data by Popular Information.
