“I think just to kind of defend that for myself, I'll be the first to tell you, I toured the facility. The facility was nice. It was clean. I didn't see anything wrong with it. But to be honest, I didn't know what questions to ask because I knew nothing about it.”

“So, you know, I'm kind of in a learning process, and I ain't ashamed to admit when I don't know what I'm talking about. And I'll be the first to tell you that I toured it, and I thought at first it was nice and it was clean and they'd done an outstanding job where we went. But there's some questions you didn't even think about. I'd have never thought about a stack height or any of that kind of stuff.”

“Or a possibility of that. Yeah. And I understand and I won't say this in front of everybody. There are so many rumors that are just absolutely not true. I'm telling you. People's talking about data centers. I ain't never been brought up up here and I can assure you of that. You don't have to believe me. But there's just so many rumors and that's the part that's really destroying people is the rumors and the misinformation that's being put out there. So I just wanted to say that You know, I'll still have a bunch of questions because I don't know what I need to know about this.”

“Councilman Brazel, I can speak a little bit on what happened And it mainly happened back around COVID when I still worked for the state and for SCDC. What happened was we seen a influx of contraband being brought in and escapes.
