Where they stand on data centers
On concerns about hyperscale data centers
Constituents protest hyperscale data centers due to large utility consumption, noise pollution, and minimal job creation. A major concern is the billions in tax breaks granted to wealthy firms, which residents argue drain local revenue while forcing taxpayers to subsidize the infrastructure needed to support them. Why make the taxpayers miss out on tax income for schools and community improvements.
How they’d address those concerns
It is simple unless there was a specific need or benefit to constituents I would vote against tax breaks.
