According to the Salem Reporter, they were greeted by hundreds of citizens, most of whom showed up to tell Verrus to shove it. One person in particular got attention: a guy who put a guillotine on a trailer and rode it around outside of the Salem Public Library’s Loucks Auditorium where the meeting was taking place. Per the Salem Reporter, Verrus’ representatives left the hearing early because they “did not feel safe.” While a lot of ire was directed at the developer, it was not exactly a banner showing for the city council. The council vote unanimously to pass a motion to explore banning non-disclosure agreements with developers and another to form a data center task force for the city.
