0:00It's April 27, I'm Cory with the story. This is Kansas News Today, driven by AI. Residents and independents just kicked off a recall push against City Councilman John Perkins after he greenlit $150 billion in. Bonds for a massive AI data center. The petition hits City offices Monday morning, targeting Perkins who reps the first district. They're aiming to boot him from office early before his term wraps in April 2028. Many folks are fired up, saying leaders ignore their input on this huge project. Organizes from the local action committees stress that neighbors feel sidelined at City Hall. To trigger a recall vote, the group needs enough signatures in the next 30 days. If they pull it off, it'll head to the ballot. Perkins hasn't weighed in yet, despite outreach from local news. Keep an eye on this. Could shake up how the city handles big tech moves.
