Reporting revealed Edgerton City Council had sued citizens to block certified ballot petition banning data centers
On August 14, 2026, KCTV5 reported that the City of Edgerton, Kansas had sued residents Carrie Schmidt and Kimberly Twente and the nonprofit Public Trust Collective in Johnson County District Court, seeking to void their certified ballot petition banning high-impact data centers and permanently block it from reaching a public vote. The Johnson County Election Office had verified the petition collected more than double the required signatures, and Kansas law required the city to either adopt the ordinance or put it to a vote; instead, the Edgerton City Council voted on July 23 to authorize the lawsuit. The exact court-filing date was not disclosed in public reporting; the city's public defense of the suit came from City Attorney Todd Luckman in an August 13 statement.
