City of Mason (Ingham County, near Lansing) — NOT to be confused with Mason County MI (Ludington/Dirk Schipper coverage). Mason City Council voted to repeal a data center ordinance after public outcry, following a citizen petition. 180-day moratorium was in place. Rally organizer Paula Caltrider says city is moving too fast. WKAR reported astroturfing claims amid tensions -- audience members interrupting council with shouting. NYT covered nationally (May 2026, "The Most Bipartisan Issue Since Beer"). Council later scheduled a vote on a hyperscale data center proposal; Caltrider pushed for a referendum.
