Ohioans Can Go To HustedDataCenters.com To Find Out If Husted Brought A Data Center To Their Community
COLUMBUS, OH – Today, a mobile billboard will drive through Youngstown to call Jon Husted out for being “the face of data centers” in Ohio. Husted brought 226 data centers to Ohio with $2.5 billion in out-of-control tax breaks that have sent Ohioans’ utility bills through the roof.
“No one has done more for data centers than Jon Husted. He led the charge to bring 226 data centers to Ohio while pushing for $2.5 billion in out-of-control tax breaks,” said Sherrod Brown. “Ohioans shouldn’t be forced to foot the bill, and Ohioans – not Jon Husted and his billionaire friends – should decide if data centers are built in their community.”
