Episode Details

O’Leary Digital and Box Elder County are fighting back against a lawsuit demanding a public vote on their data center, arguing the project’s approvals were administrative—not legislative—and thus can’t be challenged via referendum. They’re doubling down on this legal stance, which they’ve used before, claiming the resolutions merely implemented existing law and didn’t create new policies for voters to decide. The dispute erupted after a May meeting where hundreds protested the project, leading to county commission votes that now face legal scrutiny. Meanwhile, another lawsuit seeks to nullify those approvals, while opponents also sue O’Leary and Fox News for defamation over alleged China ties—creating a tangled web of legal battles swirling around the controversial data center.
