Episode 36 - February 9, 2026 - Pinky Swears and Octopus Heirs - with Guest Talon Wooster

At the February 9th Lansing city council meeting attendance exceeded the chamber capacity and over sixty community members voiced their comments, mostly for-or-against construction of a new data center on the edge of downtown. The chief executive and chief technology officers from Deep Green, a Manchester, England based company, and the board of water and light general manager presented plans for the 24 mega-watt energy consuming (and 16 mega-watt energy producing) facility. The city council members had a lot of questions about the project. The superintendent of the Ingham County Intermediate School district gave an educational presentation about plans to renovate a historically significant facility through a bond proposal on the ballot this May. Three city construction projects are on track. The city council approved a closed door settlement in the case of a man killed by Lansing police officers in 2020. Our guest this episode is Talon Richard Wooster - Lansing resident, member of and advocate for the Lansing Homeless Union and the Rent is Too Damn High.
