I don't think both parties are running away from them. Crowley in Wisconsin seems very
pro-Data Center. Tom Tiffany would bend over for them as well, but now trying to paint Crowley as the only guy who is pro-DC. Just an incoherent mess all around. I think it's unrealistic and dishonest for a candidate to say we're not going to do them at all. I remember Gretchen Whitmer got caught on a live mic saying that people vote against them locally but they just end up building them anyway. I credit Shapiro because he seems to be trying to come to some reasonable solutions.  Previous Message waste site" right now and the President is tying his 2026 candidates to them when both parties are running as far away from them as possible at the state and local levels. It's glorious.  Previous Message necessity but I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to live near one. Josh Shapiro unveiled some new restrictions recently that seem pretty good, but just being anti-DC 100% isn't realistic. I just think you have to be smart about how you talk about them. The Wisconsin gov. race in particular seems like it might go off the rails on this.  Previous Message
