Several Topeka leaders shun requests for private data center meetings
Several Topeka City Council members are publicly declaring they won't meet with Compass Datacenters one on one. The declarations came after Protect Kansas co-founder Aimee Gillette on Nov. 10 asserted council members had received the request without telling the members of the public and asking them to declare their stance. "I’m glad several council members said they would not meet one on one with Compass ― if this is supposed to be a transparent process that builds trust between our community, our local officials, and the developer, meeting individually behind closed doors does not accomplish that," Gillette said. "As several council members said, if we’re not working from a shared set of information, this discussion becomes even more difficult. "I understand having these conversations publicly isn’t the most responsive, dynamic way to interact, but it is the most honest and open to the public." Which Topeka leaders won't meet with Compass one on one? At the end of the Nov. 10 meeting or in followups after with The Capital-Journal, council members Brett Kell, David Banks, Michelle Bradberry, Murray McGee, Michelle Hoferer and Christina Valdivia-Alcala explicitly stated they would not meet with Compass. Banks said he won't have the private meetings
