Ranjan is interviewed by WSBT about the Democratic call for a ban on data centers
Councilwoman Jenn Shabazz joined Mike Hamann, Ranjan Rohatgi and Jan Cervelli in demanding an outright ban on hyperscale data centers.
… "Amy Drake voted for the rezoning on behalf of Amazon’s secret shell company Razor5… She led the effort to close Portage Manor and she terrorized our public health officials,” observed Councilwoman Jenn Shabazz… "We support an outright ban on data centers in St. Joseph County. Our County has had enough. Our families have had enough. It is time for a ban on data centers.”
“I spoke with a voter just this afternoon who thinks we have enough data centers already, and this is a message I’ve heard time and time again while knocking on hundreds of doors and speaking directly with our neighbors.” — Ranjan Rohatgi
