A local county commissioner in Utah was irate after he and his family received threats following a vote to approve a data center project, according to a new report.
Lee Perry, a commissioner in Box Elder County, Utah, told local news station KSL5 that he began receiving threats after he voted to approve a 9-gigawatt data center located on a 40,000-acre parcel of land. The project is supported by Kevin O'Leary, a Canadian businessman and co-host of the hit show "Shark Tank." Perry added that police officers have been stationed outside of his home because of the threats he received.
"I literally have police officers in front of my house, and that's not fair to me, but it's especially not fair to my family, and it's not fair to either of the other two commissioners, either," Perry told the news outlet. "And I have county employees who are nervous about their safety as well. And that is not the American way, certainly not the way of people in Utah."
