Opposed data centers outright, citing cancer rates in the Ohio Valley, and asked whether the ordinance will require millions in cleanup/decommissioning funding. Also suggested using cell phones or the 4-H Center for meetings.

Urged caution because data centers haven't always kept promises, cited Ohio River shared stewardship, noise concerns, protecting utility bills, short-lived construction jobs, no guarantee data centers stay, and skepticism about small nuclear reactors.
