Hey, Round Rockers! Come join us for a family-friendly picnic on June 7 from 12-2pm at the pavilion in Chandler Creek Park. Meet and get to know neighbors, talk about community issues, and enjoy free hot dogs. Looking forward to seeing you there! RSVP: https://t.co/khymgQGqSQ

Round Rock Mayor Craig Morgan brags that 3 out of Round Rock's 11 primary fire apparatus are staffed to the MINIMUM national standard - the others are understaffed. City Council has failed to correct this for decades, now it's up to the voters. Election Day is May 2.

Saturday, May 2, is Election Day in Round Rock. Our firefighters are there for us 24/7 -- the least we can do is show our support for them with our vote to bring staffing levels on fire apparatus up to the MINIMUM national standard. Vote YES on Round Rock Proposition B!

@roundrock Seems you forgot to cover citizen comment and presentations made as on-agenda citizen comments.

This incident exposed 21 firefighters to carcinogens and hazardous materials. Required 14 apparatus and 44 firefighters to fully extinguish. 1 civilian injury with smoke inhalation. Nearly five hour incident. See https://t.co/l4qe06ASrx

The City of Round Rock loves to say data centers bring in big tax $ but require few city services and rarely have emergencies. Sabey Data Center already had a fire that caused $2,000,000 in damage & emitted carcinogens and toxic fumes into the air and Brushy Creek.

Just a few of the signs made at today’s art build in opposition to the proposed Skybox data center in Round Rock. @roundrock @CraigMMorgan

Engaged citizens came to the Round Rock Library on Super Bowl Sunday to make signs for the rally & public hearing for proposed rezoning for a data center at 2601 E Old Settlers. Our residents care about what happens here and WE DON’T WANT YET ANOTHER DATA CENTER. @roundrock

[Protect Round Rock @ProtectRRock]

The 1st image shows the City’s uninspired public hearing notice for the proposed rezoning at 2601 E Old Settlers Blvd for a data center. The second shows our informational postcard. Which actually informs residents about what’s going on? @roundrock @CraigMMorgan @impactnews_rph

[🇺🇦 Gary Oldham (now garytx.bsky.social) @garytx]

Hey @roundrock, Mayor @CraigMMorgan, the people of this city really don’t want yet another data city further reducing our quality of life! Well over 2,000 people have signed a petition in opposition: https://t.co/AoAqUPQcal

@pamelaoldham @roundrock @CraigMMorgan @ProtectRRock @PublicCitizenTX There are even survey markers next to the public hearing signage. Has Skybox gotten the wink-wink nod-nod OK to proceed with the promise of an approval on Thursday?

[Pamela Oldham @pamelaoldham]

Hey, @roundrock Mayor @CraigMMorgan. Council’s public hearing on proposed data center on Old Settlers isn’t till 2/12, but appears fresh surveyor’s stakes were just put up on subject property. Did city staff tell owner your vote was in the bag? @ProtectRRock @PublicCitizenTX

[🇺🇦 Gary Oldham (now garytx.bsky.social) @garytx]

And yet the City of @roundrock wants to keep building data centers here…

Dr. Robert Peters, @roundrock icon, would never have approved of one, let alone NINE data centers in his city!!!!

[🇺🇦 Gary Oldham (now garytx.bsky.social) @garytx]

Hey @impactnews @impactnews_rph @johnpgarrett In your biased article downplaying the widespread community opposition to the proposed Skybox data center (failed to mention the petition approaching 2K signatures, for instance), YOU PUT THE WRONG DATE FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING!

[🇺🇦 Gary Oldham (now garytx.bsky.social) @garytx]

Spotted in downtown @roundrock today. Clearly public sentiment is opposed to any more data centers in our city. There are already eight operational, under construction, or approved. Not one more!
