Letter: Data center should not bypass rigorous scrutiny

A reader letter urges Walla Walla County to demand a full, independent Environmental Impact Statement before allowing Amazon to proceed with its massive data center project in Wallula Gap. The author raises concerns about the facility's immediate impact on the public power grid, potential water contamination, and traffic safety on U.S. 12. The letter calls for rigorous scrutiny to protect local infrastructure and residents from the project's long-term consequences.
