On this week’s episode, we’re bringing you a pre-recorded interview between RANGE reporter Aaron Hedge and Brittany Anderson, a local activist who’s calling for governmental transparency about officials’ conversations with data center developers.

The two of them talked about:

• what brought Brittany into this work and why it’s important to her,
• the information she learned from her public records requests and what it led her to,
• the moratorium on data center development at both the Spokane County and City levels and what they mean,
• and the continuing fight for transparency from the local government about data center development.
