MARA Holdings, a major Bitcoin mining company, has filed a lawsuit to block the incorporation of Hood County in Texas into a city. The residents seeking the incorporation argue that they can set local rules for their area. However, MARA argues that the petition does not meet legal requirements and points to potential collusion by county officials who support the incorporation attempt. The lawsuit has prompted a court deadline for officials to respond by Thursday. Meanwhile, noise pollution concerns from neighbors in Hood County who live near MARA’s mining operation have surfaced, prompting complaints and further complications. A full investigation of these allegations is currently underway.
