Gov. Mills vetoes first-in-nation data center moratorium passed by Maine Legislature

[House of Roberts]

1. If the Senate primary was in doubt,

it isn't any more.

[House of Roberts]

4. They raise power bills and use too much fresh water.

Makes utility bills go up the more of them you have, and if water becomes scarce, they expect to keep working full capacity, and to hell with the needs of the communities.

Posted at 5:37pm. It has to do with the town of Jay, Maine. I'm at least accepting Gov. Mills explanation that she would have signed this bill had the exception for Jay been included. For the time being, I'm taking her word for it.
