The flyer for the meeting at DVFD on June 15th states July 15th. You might want to correct it. The main argument from our elected officials and Fundamental Data seems to be the monies the data centers will provide to our counties. They hardly ever refer to what the state's share will be, which is their main motive. Seems West Virginia lives are insignificant in comparision. Outside companies have raped our state for years, taken what they wanted and left our people's health/lives to suffer for it. I wonder how many of our elected officials, state and federal, have data centers in their back yards?
If Smith is the Senate president, and he thinks HB2014 should be amended to allow local input, why did he let it pass with absolutely no regulation to start with? What industries have no regulation? Especially industries that we have no understanding of to begin with?
Jay Taylor is endorsed by Friends of Coal, so I'm not surprised that maybe one of the most indulgently ignorant quotes come from his lips:
“It’s not going to take too many of these data centers and we won’t have an income tax anymore,” Taylor said. “The home county that is going to get one of those is going to really benefit. They are going to have the nicest ambulances, the nicest fire trucks.”
