Scott’s veto reasoning doesn’t hold up
Governor Phil Scott vetoed H.727, a data center bill that passed with bipartisan support in Vermont, arguing it imposed unnecessary regulations. The bill aimed to address rising electricity costs and pollution from AI data centers, with the final version strengthening protections for ratepayers and the environment compared to the governor's preferred draft.
