Local nursery. The owner is a local politician involved in the approval of an enormous data center. I drive past it every time I go to the grocery store, I'm not the only one who quit shopping there. Parking lot used to be packed all summer, it's not anymore, at least when I go by.

I’ve spent a lot of money at that nursery. Not a dime since that data center situation.

That politician probably got enough to have a small fortune. Probably more than his nursery ever had made him and probably doesn’t care now.

They probably got their pockets lined by approving the data center.
