AVAIO sued Pulaski County in federal court, asking a judge to block county data center rules from applying to its project; the quorum court had overridden the county judge's veto to put the rules in place earlier that week
Notes: The suit argues the rules intrude on federal authority over interstate transmission and that quorum court members polled each other in violation of the state Freedom of Information Act. It also names Democratic county judge nominee Wendell Griffen and the rules' sponsor, Justice of the Peace Julie Blackwood. The rules were written after community anger over this project.
