County officials are pushing back on sludge use, while fertilizer company Synagro cites an internal study disputing that its product caused the contamination, leaving residents demanding more transparency and stronger protections.
   

• Johnson County officials take hard stance on data centers. But will it matter? (star-telegram.com) — Johnson County commissioners signaled strong opposition to new data centers, citing pollution, noise, and existing PFAS worries tied to sludge-fertilized farms near Grandview.
