Ohio U.S. Senate candidates offer contrasting visions for data centers

In Ohio’s U.S. Senate race, candidates Sherrod Brown and Jon Husted offer contrasting visions regarding data center development. Brown criticized Husted’s support of developer tax breaks, advocating instead that data centers pay their full electricity costs and process waste water safely. Conversely, Husted defends new developments, arguing they create construction jobs and broaden the tax base for rural communities.
