If the data centers are so great, why have the politician signed NDA’s so no one knows the behind the scene details?

It is standard practice. And politicians have to be involved, because govt is needed to land these deals. No one is out to get you because they signed a nda. They will screw you with or without it if that is their intent.

How about asking META to use some of those tax break dollars to become our brand sponsor? The state is only giving them billions upon billions of dollars in breaks…

you can’t keep asking donors to front 50 million dollar rosters, buyouts, facility upgrades, and pay for basketball and baseball without seeing any return whatsoever.


I agree with you about the boosters, but this is a bandaid in an attempt to stop the bleeding. At some point there's no more future to sell off for today...you just have to stop spending like money is no object.

BK and McMahon definitely needed to go from a competitiveness standpoint, but now it puts us in a compromising financial position.

Don't you mean Beignet Investor, LLC? They are the shell company that is building the facility and taking on a majority of the financial risk (debt) and keeping the Richland construction costs off of Facebook's balance sheet.
