Illinois joins Ohio in ordering pause on data center tax credits
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker paused state tax incentives for data centers due to legislative inaction on managing their energy costs, joining Ohio which also halted similar incentives. The move faces opposition from organized labor groups concerned about job losses, while Pritzker argues data centers disproportionately strain utilities without sufficient return.
