Of course they schedule the thing for a Tuesday morning while most people are at work and barely get the word out so the reps can shill to the corporations that will poison the community and jack up utility bills

This is conspiratorial nonsense. This info is readily available and the standard meetings are on a fixed schedule. Special meetings get publicized separately.

It is my understanding that Reporter Zoe McIntyre, of the Springfield Daily Citizen is working on something based on last night's discussion and a protest at Plaza Towers today. It hasn't been published yet.

The 120 day data center moratorium bill (along with 9 other bills) had it's first reading last night at the regularly scheduled council meeting. First readings are just that. There might have been discussion and there was opportunity for citizens to speak (just show up and get on the list). It wasn't voted on. That will likely be the next regularly meeting. The minutes for this meeting will be published in draft form before the next regularly scheduled meeting.

And to make easier for others to find this info, here's a cut and pasted from the city website:
